BETTING. Three employees of a business firm are betting on the names of lawmakers that they think are in the much-talked-about Napoles list. They're not betting in cash but in kind like cases of beer or dinner for three.

INTERESTING. All three of them have five names each to bet on. Interestingly, they have the same top choice who happens to be a veteran or senior politician. "Lingaw-lingaw ra baya ning amo ha," they said.
