Honorable

THE EAR - The Freeman
October 8, 2013 | 12:00am

HONORABLE. A woman employee of a government agency was scolded by her boss for not addressing "honorable" four lawmakers invited to the cocktails of the agency. "Ako ra man gud nga gibutang sa imbitasyon ang ilang official title," the employee told an Ear informer.

OFFENSE. The employee asked The Ear informer: "Is it an offense or against the law not to address a lawmaker as honorable? Isn't 'Sen.' or 'Rep' enough?" Our informer said: "I'll check the Constitution."
