From friendly discussion to heated argument

FORGIVENESS. Two men, believed to be religious preachers, were discussing some Bible-based topics at Plaza Independencia one recent Sunday afternoon. They dwelt on “forgiveness.” One of them said: “ang pagpasaylo maoy birtud nga nagustohan sa Ginoo.”

HEATED DISCUSSION. What started as a friendly discussion of their chosen topic developed into a heated debate. “Nagkainit ang diskusyon,” said an Ear informer. The two preachers parted ways angry. Forgiveness vanished in thin air.
