Bail bond

THE EAR - The Freeman
August 25, 2015 | 10:00am

BAIL BOND. Two political watchers were heard discussing the P1.45M bail of Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile. One of them said: "That's a drop in the bucket," Pre. The reply heard by many was: "What drop in the bucket?" He added: "Para nako, Pre, droplet in the bucket lang na."

SILENCE. Both of them said they had more to say about the amount of the bail in relation to the sum of money involved in the case. "Pero" said one,  "hilum lang ta. Mas hawod ang mga mahistrado nga mipakanaug sa hukom." So silent sila.
