“It does not matter how you played the game, it does matter how you portrayed yourself”. The way he took himself to be of what he was not, was an insult to all Pangasinenses who had no knowledge what’s the Olympics is all about.

Jazy Garcia’s post on the 16th flaunting how he competed with the best and not almost great, was chutzpah at its worst. He gambled nobody will find out . . . that we would be in awe . . . nobody will check . . . on what he did at the Olympics. He got burnt to cinders.

He did participate, alright, like anybody who went to the Olympics to see the games. Jazy Garcia was there for show. He knew he couldn’t compete, but putting his name in the no-shows at the finish line . . . was enough to claim he raced with the greats.

He almost made it! He almost pulled the impossible when almost everybody were stumbling on each other throwing flowers at his feet, cheering his feat which is in character for the adoring few, which I am not.

Look how he lied from the get-go. He did not tell his real name to the Olympic committee but his maternal name. Why? Was he not proud being a Garcia? Or, if he won’t make it, he would be known as Fernandez and hide in it in shame.

That’s why, I got lost trying to find him in the Olympics’ cycling roster not knowing he was hiding in Fernandez’s name.

Ms. Ric, trying to idolize him, gives him away.
