To Mr. Timothy Ellis Cumper:

Please stop stalking me, Jepoy and all of his friends and family. You should learn to accept and admit your mistakes. Everyone has been pointing this out to you. Be a man. Face your responsibilities and don’t hide behind your keyboard. Say sorry to everyone you have involved in this 2-year old issue, especially innocent people like my friend Pepper.

I am also demanding that you remove any defamatory remarks and pictures against me on your blogs and websites. I have already consulted this with Jepoy and if you don’t we will resort to legal actions.

I am saying this because you are in UK and you probably know about your law regarding online harassment? If you don’t know, read it here.

…if someone in England and Wales is harrassing someone abroad by means of letters e-mails etc. and the Police in England and Wales are iformed of this then the offender  could be arrested for criminal harrasment and prosecuted regardless of the fact the victim was abroad.

May this serve as your final warning Mr. Cumper. I have tolerated your insults for the past two years and I believe now is the time to stop.

Quezon City’s 1st Districr Councilor Jun Ferrer Jr. reminded the public of ordinance number SP1852 S-08 which compels drivers of both private and public utility vehicles (PUV) to turn on their headlights on from 6PM to 6AM the next day. This ordinance was issued to deter road mishaps, Quezon City authorities said.

A recent meeting with the Quezon City Police District Director San Diego, councilor Ferrer told him to instruct the police to strictly enforce the ordinance to ensure public safety on major roads and streets in the city. Failure to comply to this ordinance will result in stiff fines and possible jail terms.

Quezon City  is the former capital (1948–1976) and the most populous city in the Philippines. Located on the island of Luzon, Quezon City (popularly known to Filipinos as simply QC) is one of the cities and municipalities that make up Metro Manila, the National Capital Region. The city was named after Manuel L. Quezon, the former president of the Commonwealth of the Philippines who founded the city and developed it to replace Manila as the country’s capital. Quezon City is not located in and should not be confused with Quezon province, which was also named after the president.

Having been the former capital, many government offices are located in the city, including the Batasang Pambansa, the seat of the House of Representatives, which is the lower chamber in the Philippine Congress. The main campuses of two noteworthy universities, the Ateneo de Manila University and the country’s National University—the University of the Philippines, Diliman—are located in the city.

Contrary to the accusations of this guy that Quezon City is one of the most corrupt places in the Philippines, Quezon City is the richest city in the Philippines with a budget of more than Php4 billion.
