SURIGAO CITY: MINDANAO Enquirer columnist Sarah Lira is challenging former Surigao del Norte Gov. Lyndon Barbers to a “Sumbagay” (fistfight), apparently in defense of her publisher who was earlier bullied by the politician.
Lira told Misamis Probe she “condemned the act of Lyndon in threatening to destroy their publication through a menacing remark addressed through [the] publisher.”
She believed that Lyndon was “only good at intimidating a young person with a thin and frail-like physical frame like that of Roel Catoto but is “undeniably afraid to face the likes of Jun Parada who had challenged him to a fistfight last year.”
“I could sense Lyndon would only turn himself brave on small men but not on burly ones. We were told he was challenged by Jun Parada to a fistfight last year but he never yielded,” she said.
Perhaps Lyndon had a second thought then due to the fact that Parada was a contemporary of Manny Pacquiao in professional boxing.
“I think with my weaker physical build and less potent strength being a female, Lyndon would agree to sumbagay so that people in our province and city would have the rare opportunity to witness a brawl featuring a “jumbo ex-governor” and a “tamse” writer.
“Tamse,” she jokingly adds, is a comedic lingo for “Tambok pero sexy.”
She further commented that Lyndon’s stooping down from his level as a former governor just to intimidate their 21-year-old publisher was “very unethical.”
Lira jokingly tells Misamis Probe she can land a “big punch” on Lyndon.
