The Abbreviation Of An Abbreviation

Comment from a reader on "Kalaklan Bridge To Remain Open!":

What is R.M. Drive? Do you mean Magsaysay Drive? Was there a law that changed the old road to R.M. Drive? Whats wrong with the name Magsasay?

Clearly nothing is wrong with the Bridge and street that was named after a statesman and former President of the Philippines in the same way as James Gordon hospital, Gordon Avenue, Gordon Heights, were named after a famous mayor and the thousands of government vehicles that bear Gordon's name.

Magsasay to R.M.? WTF and OMG! if i get sick, ill take myself to JML hospital, using G. Avenue from G. Heights?

This Subic Bulletin is becoming a platform for partisan politics, i am not for Gordon, nor for magsaysay, in fact im from Bataan. it doesnt take a political analyst to see that this seemingly harmless bit of information has Public Relation Officer of the Gordons written all over it. clear as daylight buddy.

You people are biased, shame on you!

[The Subic Bulletin] Thanks for your most entertaining contribution we will surely place it in the "most silly letters" file!

Lets see if we got this straight, you believe the moderators of the Subic Bulletin are biased to the Gordon camp because we allowed someone to abbreviate the name of a road when in fact you abbreviated it yourself?

If you are against abbreviations why do you call is "Magsaysay Drive" instead of Ramon Magsaysay Drive? Magsaysay is an acceptable abbreviation to you but RM Drive is not?

Even the sign outside the Rizal Ave gate says, oh wait should that be J. P. Rizal Avenue gate? ahhh whatever the sign says "To RM Drive",

Such nonsense, anyway the good news is that while both camps keep calling us biased were happy.
