The dirt being allegedly dug by a Los Angeles, California-based Filipino activist against a ‘fake “lawyer” and bogus journalist’ is just being raised ‘to cover his own ass.’ – Porfirio Diaz

P orfirio Diaz (AKA Perrytale Writer) apparently does not know the idiomatic expression, “Cover your ass.” By using the said idiom in his e-mail to Joseph G. Lariosa, the Perrytale writer just confirmed once more that he is indeed one of the “3-D ‘journalists’.” To read Mr. Lariosa’s article that quoted Mr. Diaz, please click on this hyperlink:

Friend Defends “Fake Lawyer and Bogus Journalist”

Let us now complete the education of the Perrytale writer in the matter of the idiom, “Cover your ass.” The Freedictionary.com defines it as “to make sure that you cannot be blamed or criticized later for something.” A classical example given in the definition is: ”The police were more interested in covering their asses than in finding the killer.”

So, how can the investigative reports about Pex Aves being a “fake lawyer” – as written by Romeo P. Marquez and this writer – be instances of “covering our ass(es)”? Have Mr. Marquez and I claimed that we are “practicing lawyers” and/or “owning a small law office” in Los Angeles, California, or elsewhere? Can anybody blame Mr. Marquez or me for Mr. Aves’ misadventures in the law practice? How can anybody criticize Mr. Marquez and me for exposing the court record of Mr. Aves for “committing a fraudulent, unfair, and deceptive act” of “unauthorized practice of law” – as determined by a court of law in Los Angeles, California?

L east the Perrytale writer be accused of using again in his e-mail and writings the so-called “idiotmatic” (sic) expressions (a term that I coined), here are the right idiomatic expressions about “asses”: “Life is all about ass. People are either covering it, laughing it off, kicking it, kissing it, busting it, trying to get a piece of it, behaving like one; or worse, you live or work with one” (as quoted from a material going around on the Internet that was written by an anonymous author).

It is a pity that Filipino Americans in the suburbs of Sacramento, California, have to “live with one” or at least with a wannabe writer who “behaves like one.”

By the way, I used previously the said idiomatic expressions about “asses” in these articles:

Finally, Mr. Diaz ought to know that the economic condition and/or employment status of investigative reporters have nothing to do with the relevancy or truthfulness of the published reports. My supposed insolvency and the results of a libel case filed against me by Lourdes Ongkeko have no connection at all in determining the appropriateness or reality of the investigative reports about the legal misadventures or alleged scams of Pex Aves.

But then following the dictum taught to me by my erstwhile literary mentor, Poet-pundit Fred Burce Bunao, the best answer to highly-inflammatory and/or false accusations is the satire. If you have not read it, here’s my answer that made fun of the Perrytale writer’s ridiculous statements: The Truth Is Lolo Bobby’s Employed as One of the World’s Most-outstanding Multitasking Experts

Please enjoy our satires and exercises of Filipino wit and humor, which once again come at the expense of the Perrytale writer. OK, ngarud? # # #
