Female barker rules this city street

BREACH OF CONTRACT. A subscriber found himself beyond rage after discovering his Internet account with a huge telecommunication company had been terminated without his knowledge or consent. It was not until a few days after disconnection that the company even confirmed that he had been cut off. What was worse, he said, was that the company could not tell him why they discontinued his service. They just said they were advising the client to end his contract with them. “Lami kaayo lookon ang mga hinampak,” he told an Ear source.

HER BARK IS WORSE THAN HER BITE. This female barker in the downtown area is known for her “aggressiveness”. She stands in the way of passing jeepneys. Shouts at the top of her voice even during the quietest hours and even yells at approaching pedestrian to hurry up and get a ride. In other words, she scares people. “Kuyawan man ta ato niya oi,” one passenger said. “Kulbaan mo, pero epektib ra ba siya,” one driver joked.
