Wife gets even

THE EAR - The Freeman
March 28, 2013 | 12:00am

WIFE BEATER. “This may sound untrue but it's true,” said an informer who passed this little story on to The Ear. A husband, known as a wife beater, carried a cross (in last year's Holy Week) “to pay for his sins.” As he carried the cross along N. Bacalso Ave., he let a group of children beat him.

THE WIFE'S TURN. Seeing what she called “drama sa Biyernes Santo,” the wife joined the children in beating up her husband. And it was not just a tiny stick she used but the beaten belt he used to beat the wife when he was dead drunk.
