An apple caused Adam’s fall

HAVE BAT WILL STRIKE - Juanito V. Jabat   - The Freeman

Sen. Chiz Escudero has dropped to No. 5 in the latest survey. But not to worry. Chiz got a Heart to accept any survey result.

It says here that there’s another apple in PNoy’s eye. This is the fruit that led to Adam’s fall, isn’t it?

"P4,000 Poll Duty Pay For Teachers" -- Headline. Good news for my teacher friends. But let the Russian’s wise adage be remembered: "Don’t put it in my ears, put it in my hands."

Bro. Eddie Villanueva is not doing well in the surveys. If Bro. Eddie fails to make it in the senatorial race, it will go to show that perhaps the millions of JIL (Jesus is Lord) devotees would rather see their beloved brod in Heaven than in Hell.

It says here that "May 13 non-working holiday." A smart alec’s comment: "So let’s all stay home and sleep...Let the Comelec work."

Police have warned the public of a criminal group from Cagayan de Oro City whose members are here to victimize mall shoppers. Sometimes, no, most of the time, shoppers forget their wallets when faced by big posters offering big bargains.

My friend Noy Temiong’s observation: "Many of the women introduced to me 20 or 30 years ago haven’t changed. Some even look younger now than when I first met them." Then he added: "My only regret is that my own world has been moving too fast."

Actually, it’s not that, Noy Temiong. It’s basically because to most women, beauty always comes from within, thus slowing down the aging process. By within is meant within the cream jars, lipstick tubes and compacts. Hehe!

A priest-friend of mine wants to say something outside of the pulpit: "The election is just a few days away, let’s spend these few days reviewing our list to be voted on by us imploring the aid of Divine Providence..." To that, Father, I saw Amen.

There’s a good music program on CCTV Channel 47 skidded tonight at around nine. I chanced upon it last week but heard only a portion of it. "Love Letters" is the title and Gil Maningo is the host.

OVERHEARD. Some women were heard talking about the many Sunday religious programs on TV. One woman said: "Ganahan ko maminaw sa mga wali sa TV basta maayo’g tingog ang preacher ug medyo may hitsura." Replied another woman: "Ang problema kay kadaghanan bati’g tingog." Said another woman: "Ngil-ad pa gyud nawong noh?" The woman protested: "Wa ko magsulti ana ha."
