ISSUE EXPLAINED. Former Miss Universe Gloria Diaz said there’s no need for her to apologize for the so-called “slur” she has made against Cebuanos. “Bitaw tinuod,” said a taxi driver. Then he nodged his passenger, a mediaman, and said in a whisper: “Sir, sir, unsa gani toy meaning sa slur?”
NOT UNDERSTOOD. Overheard at the City Hall lobby: “Gloria Diaz has already explained what she meant when she said Cebuanos can’t speak English. “Someone said it’s true but the problem is she made the explanation in English. Di man kaha ka sabot ang Cebuanos og English...Ngano gi-English niya?”
