Two senators' patience amuse me

Reader Butch Licaros sent me through e-mail the following “humor” in connection with, he said, the move to rename Mt. Manunggal to Mt. Ramon Magsaysay.

Buth said some names of places in the US are as queer as Manunggal but they’ve been there for generations. No one has dared change them. According to Butch...

Cut and Shoot is a town in Texas and Last Chance is a place in Colorado, while Jackpot is a town in Nevada.

Last Monday, I had the chance to watch on tv the Senate hearing on the AFP corruption issue. It was an amusing experience. I was amused at the patience of Sen. Jinggoy Estrada and Sen.

E-mail from Kevin Ansaldo: “Why wasn’t the Azkals-Myanmar game in Yangon televised?” I asked my grandson Kenneth the same question. He passed on the question to his father Fred. No explanation from both. Then I heard Leo Lastimosa give the explanation, very simply, as he closed his evening’s newscast:”Wa’y demokrasya sa Myanmar.”
