- The Ear -
November 26, 2011 | 12:00am

PASKO NA. Christmas is just a month away and already a lot of people are doing some Christmas shopping. An Ear informer, however, warns readers not to be too caught up with the yuletide frenzy. "Magbantay gihapon kay mosi-aw sad raba ning mga dautang elemento basta panahon sa Pasko," he said.

BAD ELEMENTS. The " bad elements" the informer was talking about are the snatchers and robbers. "Kung magsuroy-suroy, bantayan gayud ang mga bag, pitaka ug cellphone," he added.
