BERTEL GITTENS is one of the most sincere and dedicated PAN LOVERS in the world -- and I am talking about HANDS-ON LOVE!!! But BERTEL GITTENS is not on the PAN TRINBAGO EXECUTIVE ...

Bertel Gittens was NOT in the 200 meetings that took place in the last SEVEN MONTHS in PAN TRINBAGO -- so why is BEVERLEY RAMSEY-MOORE sending BERTEL GITTENS to defend PAN TRINBAGO against the heavy CRITICISM that is bombarding the NEW PANORAMA PLAN

So after all the GRAND TEAM REBUILD promises from BEVERLEY RAMSEY-MOORE we are going to end up spending all year PLANNING PANORAMA 2019/2020

Man, I could swear that PANORAMA is two or three weeks away with all the PANORAMA OLE TALK going on.

Ah WONDER when TRINIDADIANS are going to wake up and REALIZE that PANORAMA MUSIC has VERY LIMITED GLOBAL APPEAL

The PAY PER VIEW MARKET is an EXPAT MARKET. So they should be culturing and respecting that market for what it is and stop fooling themselves into thinking that people from OUTSIDE THE CULTURE will be rushing to sign up for that PAY PER VIEW.
