TIn his haste to get cleared, a mediaman investigated for an alleged extortion attempt is now facing another charge from the same accuser, this time, about treachery. Antonieto "Boy" Pernia, head of the Bohol Poverty Reduction Management Office (BPRMO) cried treachery after Alfredo Amora , the mediaman investigated for alleged extortion, mounted a text brigade right after the first hearing of the investigation took place. On complaint of Pernia, the Bohol Tri-Media Association (BTMA) investigated Amora for his alleged attempt to extort from Pernia cover up money in exchange for a favorable press treatment arising from the loss of cooperative funds managed by the BPRMO. After the first hearing, Amora may have thought that he was already off the hook. In his text messages to friends in media, Amora cited Pernia's "silly pride" as behind the extort allegations.

The silly pride tag did not sit well with Pernia. He said contrary to the claims of Amora, the BTMA investigation was far from over. Saying that the issue was not his silly pride, Pernia countered that his call for an investigation by the BTMA on the actuation of Amora was centered on his accusation of extortion and blackmail. This issue is still unresolved, Pernia maintained. Commenting on Amora's text brigade, the BPRMO head said committee members handling the investigation branded the same (text brigade) as unethical. According to Pernia, the text brigade only confirmed Amora's unethical methods.

Pernia was piqued of Amora's treatment of the news story involving the loss of BPRMO funds when it was his predecessor who admitted that money amounting to P140,000 was withdrawn during the last election. Pernia's predecessor, Primo Digao, admitted having withdrawn the P140,000 which he allegedly used as campaign funds for his bid of Carmen municipal councilor. Calling Amora's antics as treacherous, Pernia said the text brigade violated their agreement of friendship. The first hearing of the media investigation would have ended in amicable settlement if not for Amora's text brigade which reportedly provoked Pernia into crying treachery.
