Fancy jewelry

THE EAR - The Philippine Star
September 18, 2013 | 12:00am

NECKLACE. A traffic cop while busy directing traffic, had his necklace snatched. Because he was preoccupied with his work that busy afternoon, he just let the snatcher run with his necklace.

FAKE. A few hours later, the snatcher came back not to return the necklace but to throw it in the cop's face, saving: "Peke man diay na, nahago lang ko." There's a lesson to learn from this incident: Beware of snatchers when wearing jewelry, especially if it is fancy or fake.
