in his affidavit
. Nasser Jr. said the elder De la Paz thrust his closed golf umbrella at his direction, prompting him to parry it with his elbow.
 
And almost instantaneously, he punched the elder De la Paz in self-defense.The three caddies corroborated Nasser Jr.’s statement that the umbrella incident started the fight.The young mayor said Bino and Bambee rushed to aid their father.Hussein came to Nasser Jr.’s side and grabbed the umbrella from the elder De la Paz, who punched himin the process. Hussein hit back and the two were soon engaged in a fistfight.In his
affidavit
, Nasser Jr. admits that he punched De la Paz in self-defense,
before
Hussein (his brother) cameto his aid.From The Philstar:
And now, the side of Pangandamans
POSTSCRIPT By Federico D. Pascual Jr.http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?ArticleId=429430&publicationSubCategoryId=64In a calm voice and without revealing that he is the mayor of Masiu, Lanao del Sur, Nasser Jr.respectfully asked Dela Paz why he was raising his voice when they were not arguing.
 
Dela Paz reacted;“Ikaw
ang naghahanap ng away!”
— while pulling his umbrella. He then thrust the pointed part at the belly of Nasser Jr.This happened in front of the marshal who tried to intervene, but Dela Paz pressed on. This prompted
 
 Nasser Jr.’s older brother Hussein to come to his defense. Dela Paz hit Hussein in the forehead and thetwo engaged in a fistfight.In this apparently official statement narrating their version of the story by the Pangandamans, Nasser Jr.’s older  brother Hussein came at De la Paz first and engaged in a fight, without mention of Nasser Jr. throwing a punchat De la Paz.
 
From the pinoygolf forum:
A summary of events and witness testimonies by forum member RGE outlined to him by the head of thefact finding committee of Valley Golf.
http://www.pinoygolfer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5801&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=pangandaman&start=180When Delapaz was posing the above question, the mayor was heard to say. "
Sandali lang, hindi namantayo nagaaway dito. Akala ko ba naayos na natin yung issue kanina sa hole 3?”
At about this pointDelapaz closed his umbrella and then poked the mayor on his stomach using the pointed end (somecaddies say Dela Paz swung the umbrella and some say that he poked the Mayor) The investigative board asked Dela Paz what he did, he said that he poked the Mayor in self defense. When asked whowas attacking him, Dela Paz said that he was being surrounded by 4 men. The caddies and other witnesses on hand said that when the umbrella incident happened, it was only Dela Paz and the mayor that were talking. The other parties were in the tee house about 15-20 yards away. The Mayor says hewas poked and so he backed off and just as he was about to be poked again, his brother, Hussein ran andattacked Delapaz and hit Delapaz knocking him to the ground.( At this point the commotion took place.)In this outline that is supposedly supported by witness testimonies, the events are similar to the “officialstatement” as published by Federico D. Pascual Jr.
Which is the truth? Nasser Jr.’s official affidavit given to the court? Or the statement they released to thepublic?
