so sad!” In an immediate reaction, Marcano, after acknowledging Joseph’s support of the ISF Big 5 initiative, noted that the President of Pan Trinbago Keith Diaz’s initial denial of knowing of their existence and his subsequent denouncing of the ISF’s effort.
And on the parade he said: “As a member of the Concerned Individuals for Pan, the group that staged the Emancipation Day rally at which I was present, I will say that the executive of Pan Trinbago should first look in the mirror before referring to anybody as, ‘clowns’.
To begin with, the countless events introduced by Pan Trinbago over the years, were initiatives of previous administrations all of which this current executive has the dubious record of crashing.
PAN TRINBAGO’S SHAME “The 2017 Panorama is the most recent example for had it not been for the efforts of the NCC (National Carnival Commission), we may have had no Panorama this year and and it is very possible that we may have none in 2018, as long as the current executive continues in office.
Perhaps they should tell the nation what initiatives they have introduced to raise funds to complete the edifice off the Churchill Roosevelt Highway that stands as a national disgrace,” Marcano said.
Marcano said it is the Pan Trinbago executive that is being disrespectful when they are still owing steel bands half of their prize money for the 2015 International Panorama, the 2016 Junior panorama prize money, salaries to workers for the 2016 Panorama but yet found money to pay hefty honorariums in 2016.
“Instead of publishing insulting remarks about the efforts of pan folks in their legitimate claim to be paid after they have played, the executive of Pan Trinbago should tell the country what has happened to the BMW X5, as this has brought that entire organisation into disrepute.” He ended by saying: “Emancipation is about struggle and the parade was in my opinion a fitting platform to highlight the fact that pan folks are still in bondage.
The gross mismanagement; misuse of funds; refusal to account to the National Convention (the highest authority in the organisation) under the dubious excuse that lawyers have advised against this...all of this is sad and disrespectful to say the least.”

If & When the commesse at Pan Trinbago is sorted out, maybe they will be embraced, but for now, their irrelevancy is on the rise. https://whensteeltalks.ning.com/forum/topic/show?id=2534462%3ATopic%...
Brighter days are coming.

One of my favourite songs!!! It is about two trapeze dancers who were in love and HAD THEIR ACT DOWN. Then the RELATIONSHIP SOURS and, of course, the hands slip and one falls to the ground. Well, in the circus, when their is a "DULL MOMENT" they send in the CLOWNS to keep the crowd happy in the interim.
How many times I have to tell you SANSIRIUS that I love CALYPSO and LYRICS and I am not in the PAN TING!!!
Doh fire GREGORY is only joke I making with the man!!!
Really Claude!...lemme give you and Chief Eyengunni a tip....I called 100 players over the last 2 days,...to gauge the reaction regarding the $500.00 NCC issued Pantrinbago vetted player's remittance; across 4 regions, across 4 categories, to gauge the temperature of the 9000 players to be issued STIPENDS....... At months end...Do you know what was outcome of that study?
Our players believe that seeing is believing...Unanimously and patiently, they are waiting to receive that cheque...in their hand...and when their worse suspicions come ringing through that the King has betrayed them properly.....well then....we shall see now then will we.....who are the REAL CLOWNS in dis circus..
Like the priest you have great recommendations; like the priest you are an armchair pundit.....I give you the same advice I give to the priest,....respectfully,....stay in your zone....and leave Michael Marcano alone...
Peace always
All ah dem PAN MEN who does play and make style
Dey taking dey $500 now with ah smile ...
No one is talking "TAKE OVER" here, what we are hearing is a lot of asking to step down, no one stepping down here, people have to take over from these people otherwise it gonna be a long wait until Oct. 2018
Cecil so you advising people to create an environment where the Executive would seek haven in the courts again?......seems you are a legal advisor to Mr Diaz.
CIP eh getting caught in that trap.
We know Mr Diaz and his cabal statements,actions and in-actions amounted to a very heavy burden they have to bear on a very slippery slope, while carrying their exposed proverbial " BROAD SWORDS" of achievements, that Bro Scobie is always boasting about.
