Ping Lacson
I like PS Ngayon editor Al Pedroche's pun on the lifestyle check on the scalawag cops. A cop is quoted in his "Litra Talk" column as saying: "Your checks are good but we need cash."

There's a Senate bill that seeks to give discounts to underprivileged students. That's still a bill, that's still on paper, that's still like a bird in the bush.

The government has set aside P100 million for legal aid to OFWs. Dapat lang. That's only a drop in the bucket compared to the OFWs' dollar remittances that help keep our economy afloat.

I heard a congressman complain on tv about some barangay officials who go to him to report problems of barangay constituents. I want to pass on to this honorable congressman what Colin Powell, a popular American general, once said: "The day people stop bringing their problems to you is the day you stopped leading them."

Time was when the father wore the pants in the family. So he was called the boss of the family, the pants being the symbol of authority. Well, not anymore.

OVERHEARD. This news here says that the population of gays in the world has increased to more than triple. Comment: "OK lang kon midaghan ang mga bading. The more the better." Another comment: "Bitaw oy. Sa among pamilya tulo ang bading, pulos dunay trabaho ug mao sila'y nagpatungha sa among mga manghud." Comment: "Naglagot bitaw ko nga wa mabayot kanang among kamaguwangan. Nagbugoy-bugoy. Namugaw sa mga puta sa Kamagayan."
