Pamatong at it again!

Does the name “Pamatong” rings a bell? Do you still remember him?

Guess what? Pamatong filed his certificate of candidacy to once again seek the presidency in the 2010 elections!

Pamatong filed for the same position in the 2004 elections but he was disqualified after the Commission on Election (Comelec) declared his a nuisance candidate.

He is urging the Comelec to give him a chance to seek the presidency since he is eligible to do so. “Gibo and Noynoy can never outdo me when it comes to contributions for the country,” he claimed, referring to former Defense secretary Gilbert Teodoro and Sen. Benigno Aquino III, standard-bearers of the Lakas-Kampi-CMD and Liberal Party, respectively.

“I scored 92 percent in the American Bar exam but I was disqualified. I’m a graduate of the University of the Philippines and Silliman University and I’m an undefeated debater in UP and yet I was declared a nuisance. What kind of Comelec is this?” he said.

Pamatong became famous in 2004, not because of his candidacy, but for masterminding the scattering of steel spikes in different parts of Metro Manila, damaging the tires of more than 150 vehicles.

Because of that, he earned the moniker “spike boy.”
