FLOODS. The frequent floods in Metro Manila is causing a Cebuano, who is now living in Manila, to think of going back to Cebu. “Lisod i-biyahe padung sa opisina kay baha. Pirmi cancel ang klase sa akong mga anak kay baha. Swerte na lang gyud mi kay ang lugar nga among gipuy-an dili baha-on. Pero lisod ning pagkabutanga oi,” said the informer.

BACK HOME. The informer, who is married to someone from Luzon and who has since moved to Manila, is now contemplating on going back to Cebu, which she still considers home. “Mas maayo pa man tingali og manguli na lang mi sa Cebu ani,” she said.
