CRUCIFIXION. A mother who has become fed up with news stories about drug pushers caught red-handed but still manage to go scot free, says: “Nganong dili man ni sila ilansang sa Krus? Wa na man kaha ang silya elektrika.”

LET THE PEOPLE SHOUT. The mother said these drug pushers should be brought to any plaza where many people congregate, then let these people shout: “Ilansang sa Krus! Ilansang sa Krus.” Then, she said, the President can wash his hand and say: “The people asked for it.”
