This is the question which some members of media who have been buying Ron’s lies should ask themselves. If what Ron is saying is true about Manny not doing his job in creating value for First Pacific, then how come the Salim group and the other shareholders of the Hong Kong-based conglomerate have decided to even name Manny recently as the firm’s chief executive officer?

Chief officer Michael Healy, general counsel Ronald Brown, and vice-president for communications Rebecca Brown are expected to be out of First Pacific in a week  or two. But right now, they are no longer performing their usual duties and are simply paving the way for their smooth exit.

Nobody can begrudge Sonny his option to hang on. Kanya-kanyang style lang yan. We dig our respective graves.
