Not so light moment with Erap

- The Ear -
January 28, 2010 | 12:00am

WITH ERAP. At the Malacañang sa Sugbo recently, Manila and Cebu media crowded around former president Erap to get his views on certain issues. A Cebuana editor of this paper was standing beside a Manila-based female journalist. Erap saw the two women and said: “Twins ba kayong dalawa?”

PHOTO OP. The group laughed. Then Erap told the two women, “Hali nga kayo. Picture tayo.” The two women stood beside him. He put his arms around the two women, smiled at the camera then teased the two women, “Ang payat ko ninyong dalawa! Hehe!”
