Wasting space and time?

CONCERNED CITIZEN’S GRIPE. A “regular reader” of The Ear called up to air his gripe. “I am a 72-year-old concerned citizen and I’m calling you up because I’m sick and tired,” he said. Sick and tired of what? “Pu-ol na kaayo ning binata nga insultohan sa atong mga leader (he named names but requested them to be withheld),” he said. “The media should stop giving attention to these childish quarrels.”

WASTE OF TIME AND SPACE. He said news about the personal quarrels of “our leaders” are a waste of newspaper space and radio/tv air space. “Hunonga na ninyo kana oy,” he begged.“Mogara baya na sila ... suwayi ra gud og hikawi og espasyo di ba mohilum nang mga karaho.”
