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.
