Lawmaker's wife

THE EAR - The Freeman
October 19, 2013 | 12:00am

PORK BARREL. The wife of a lawmaker was heard saying to the wife of another lawmaker as they were having coffee in the lobby of a hotel in Manila: "Sayang talaga kung mawawala na ang pork barrel. Binabayaran pa namin ang bahay at kotse ko."

NOT OURS. The wife of the other lawmaker said: "The pork barrel is not ours. Hindi atin yan. Kaya pala laki-laki ng bahay na pinatayo nyo." The first lawmaker's wife said: "Hwag kang maingay ha."
