MANLA, Philippines--Just a day after a golf club mauling incident was reported, dozens of blogs are denouncing alleged perpetrators who happen to be high-ranking government officials.

Masui, Lanao del Sur Mayor Nasser Pangandaman, Jr. and several of his golf companions and bodyguards figured in an altercation last December 26 with Delfin de la Paz and his 14-year old son Bino at the Valley Golf and Country Club in Antipolo City.

It was later found out that Department of Agrarian Reform Secretary Nasser Pangandaman Sr. was also present at the golf club but was said to have not been part of the alleged mauling.

The incident was later blogged by Bambee de la Paz and was reported by several news organizations. Bloggers also picked up the story and have since been calling for an investigation over the incident while a few others called for both Pangandaman's resignations.

Bambee de la Paz's blog was reposted on the FilipinoVoices.com and received dozens of comments. Comic book artist Gerry Alanguilan also posted his opinion on the matter, while Juned Sonido also had his take on the issue.

Blogger Tonyo Cruz listed several messages from other bloggers in Global Voices. Filipina Mom Blogger listed down other blogs that are showing outrage for the alleged mauling.

Manuel Quezon III wrote a scathing commentary where he relates the incident to the warlord culture in the provinces.
