No "Smile policy" at City Hall

A government worker has filed a case against her boss who she said often comes to the office drunk. Don't call him boss. Call him booze.

A bodybuilder who holds the title of "Mr. Masculine" has been charged with rape in a Metro Manila court. Assert, not insert, your masculinity, man.

Mayor Tom doesn't want a "Smile" policy at City Hall like Guvnor Gwen's "Ayawg mug-ot" rule at the Capitol. He says that if he'd adopt a "Smile" policy he'd be the first one to violate it.

Let's salute Mayor Tom for his honesty. If he were dishonest he would make us believe he could smile even if he couldn't.

Speaking of smile, the government wants everyone to pay his income tax with a smile. You try it and the BIR people will tell you: "Your smile is good but we need cash."

Seriously speaking, Banilad is now a "no fault zone." It means that "in Banilad all traffic rules and regulations will be strictly implemented." This was the explanation made by a traffic officer. Aren't traffic rules and regulations supposed to be strictly implemented throughout the city?

* * *

 If that's the meaning of the "no fault zone" it ought to be "strictly implemented" in every nook and cranny of the city. What I'm saying is, the so-called "no fault zone" should not be implemented only in Banilad. Oh, well, that's only my opinion. Take it or leave it.

Jesse Bacon, Ben Ypil and Leah Ybanez, formerly of this newspaper, texted me to greet me on the 88th anniversary of "our paper." If Balagtas were still alive today he would've patted on the back of Jesse, Ben and Leah. For didn't Balagtas say: "Ang hindi marunong lumingon sa pinanggalingan ay mahigit pa sa isda nga daghag bukog." Anyway, thanks for remembering.
