Let that "storm" hit my village

“Asphalt Storm to Go Full Blast” — Headline. This is one storm that our potholed roads need. And let it be of the highest signal.

If they’re including subdivision roads, let this storm hit my village in Punta Princesa where the roads are so full of holes they’re calling our place a Holey Land.

By the way, I have many neighbors who still don’t know they live in Punta Princesa where the kapitan is my friend Joe Navarro. They keep saying they live in Labangon.

Many friends of mine who live in barangay Tisa are like my neighbors in Punta Princesa. They also give their address as “Tisa, Labangon, Cebu City.”

Mrs. Remedios Gentiles, a long-time TF reader from Tubigon, Bohol, said she watched the RH Bill debate on TV and she said she heard nothing new. “What the debaters talked about was what I’ve been hearing from both sides all along,” she said.

 “Both sides have their reasons for supporting or not supporting the controversial bill and they sounded convincing,” she said. “I have my own view and I believe mine is as valid as theirs. Pero ako ning giduso ngadto sa usa lang ka tawo, akong bana.”

Mrs. Gentiles, a housewife with three children, called up by landline phone soon after watching and listening to the debate. “My stand on the issue remains unchanged,” she said. She just laughed when I asked her what her stand was. “Unya nalang,” she said. “Katulgon na ko.”

I diehard fan of Manny Pacquiao said: “I hope my idol will just keep silent about that RH Bill ... I get goose bumps when I hear him talk against the Bill.”

Sen. Ping Lacson has filed a bill mandating children to show filial responsibility to their parents when they need their help as they grow old. Actually, this bill is not needed if the parents raised their kids properly with emphasis on the Ten Commandments.

* * *

Commenting on the Lacson Bill, Noy Temyong says: “Ang atong katilingban karon nagkinahanglan sa balaudnon ni Ping Lacson.” He says many children today have forgotten their filial responsibility to their parents especially the aging ones.

* * *

Yes, right. And why? Because the parents themselves failed to knock into the heads of the children this filial responsibility which Ping Lacson is trying to legislate.
