You like a sissy for prexy?

There's so much tsika about P.Noy's lovelife. I hope these talks about Noynoy's dating are not objections. I don't want a sissy for President, do you?

To the gripe of many that hospital service in RP is very expensive, a hospital admin I know says: "We can lower the cost by introducing a self-help service where a patient may operate on himself sans help from surgeons."

It says here that a trisikad driver was stabbed with a pointed barbecue stick in Lahug. He was not dead, but I'm sure he needlessly spent more than what he earned that night.
