Libelous remarks

LIBEL, SLANDER. During a meeting of public relations officers of some civic clubs, the main topic of what someone called “social discussion” was the wealth of lawmakers especially those on the top of the list. “Grabe ang mga komentaryo. Nagtuasik ang mga libel ug slander kabahin sa usa sa mga wealthiest nga sakop sa kongreso,” said an Ear informer.

SWEAT & BLOOD. Boxer Manny Pacquiao, named richest among the members of the Lower House, was not questioned about the source of his wealth. “Singot ug dugo ang gipatu ni Manny aron maangkon ang iyang bahandi,” said the PR officer of a neighborhood club. “Bitaw, bitaw, bitaw,” was heard in approval of that comment.
