Municipal councilor bet shoots down political plans of businessman then tries to get funding from him

- The Ear -
March 30, 2007 | 12:00am
NO CHANCE? A businessman had a chat with his college buddy recently. They both talked of their political plans. When the businessman told his friend of his own plans to enter politics, this "friend" who is a councilorial bet of a northern municipality shot down the businessman's plans with, "Wala man kay chance mo daug."

SUPPORT NEEDED. After that caustic remark this candidate then tried to cajole his "friend" for financial support. The businessman later told The Ear, "Ngilngiga gud niya. Paghuman niya manaway nako og ingon ato, mangayo siya'g financial support? Na!"
