Houseboy gets pay hike even without asking for it

- The Ear -

SALARY HIKE. The houseboy of a well-to-do family got a salary hike even without his asking for it. He said aside from the pay raise his agalong babaye has become extra kind to him. “Basi’g naibog kanimo ang imong amo, Dong,” the houseboy’s mother said. He replied, “Dili Ma, oy, nakit-an man gud nako si mam nakighawok sa drayber.”

THE MEANING. The mother asked the boy: “Nahibawo ka, Dong, unsay pasabot anang umento sa imong suweldo?” Before the boy could answer, the mother answered her own question: “Pasabot ana, Dong, ayaw ipanulti ang imong nakita.” The mother told The Ear informer she was worried about this matter.
