RARE PROBLEM FOR STO. NIÑO. A still unmarried Cebuano businessman in his mid-sixties is involved in a lover affair with a single girl in her early twenties. “At first I found sweetness in my relationship with my girl,” the trader told The Ear. “But things went sour when later I realized that I was supporting the whole family of my girl.” He didn’t like the setup but he also didn’t want to part with his girl. So? “Niadtong miaging Pista Senyor nangayo kog tabang sa Senyor unsay maayo kong buhaton ... Ni Sinulog pa gyud ko,” he added. “Gahuwat pa ko sa tubag sa Senyor.”
EASY SOLUTION. A widower friend of this bachelor trader advised him there’s an easy solution to his problem — break up with the girl. He shook his head saying: “May ka kay wa naman kay gugma, namatay na pagkamatay sa imong asawa.” The widower friend only responded: “Hehehe!” And they parted ways.
