A tale of two crimes

THE EAR - The Freeman
September 29, 2013 | 12:00am

HEAVIER CRIME. Two members of different non-Catholic groups were heard arguing over who committed the heavier crime against the nation. The legislators involved in the P10-billion pork barrel scam or the Muslim rebels who caused the death and suffering of thousands of people in Zamboanga City?

NO DECISION. The two "debaters" could not decide which events did more harm to the Filipino nation. An Ear informer who had listened to the arguments of the two men said both men agreed the two incidents did harm to the nation. "Pero wa sila'y desisyon kon kinsay nakahimo og labing bug-at nga salaud kun krimen," our informer said.
