IF ONLY. A self-proclaimed ex-alcoholic told The Ear that the squabble between the ABS-CBN tv crew and S/Insp. Liddawa happened because they were drunk. He said that if they weren’t drunk, the policeman wouldn’t have rammed his vehicle into the ABS-CBN tv crew van, and there wouldn’t have been any fight.
THE DEVIL IS IN THE DRINK. This reformed drunk has this advice to the public: “Inig kahubog sa usa ka tawo, magduwa gyud ang yawa sa atong utok. Kung dili pa lang sila hubog atong gabhiuna, wala gyud untay gubot nahitabo. Kung wala pa lang sila naghubog-hubog, naa pa unta silay trabaho karon.” He added, “Ang leksiyon aning tanan: Likayi ang ilimnon nga makahubog. Makadaot ra ni sa imong kinabuhi.”
