A tale of two councilmen

THE STORY OF HIS LIFE. One time a barangay councilman of Barangay Luz was being interviewed by reporters over a recent event.

But the interviewers were perplexed when he began by saying "Sa katong bata pa ko dong..." then proceeded to tell the story of his life and ignored interruptions.

He droned on and on with no sight of reaching the present until the reporters made excuses one-by-one to leave the room. None of them came back.

THE POEM OF HIS BARANGAY. During an interview conducted by a panel of interviewers looking for outstanding barangays a councilman suddenly recited a poem.

The panel was caught off guard since the man had just taken his seat and they had a limited time alloted to interview each barangay representative.

But the man refused to be interrupted and droned on and on.

His barangay did not win the search.
