"Fashion police"

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

Most male students, according to reports, do not like the hairstyle of their leader but they have to follow orders or else. They also have to wear blue trousers like those worn by Kim Jong-un.

Report: Some Bangsamoro combatants were seen shedding tears after the signing of the peace agreement. "There are two reasons why people shed tears," said an expert in human feelings. "Either they're happy or they're not."

Another Earth Hour was observed last Saturday. "Many of us still don't know the reason behind the Earth Hour," said someone from the DENR. "The switching off of our lights is a worldwide campaign to combat climate change," he said.

Although it was the sixth time Cebu took part in this worthy effort, many were still surprised on seeing many homes without light for an hour. "Gi-brownout tawon sila," said a sidewalk vendor.

Mayor Mike Rama is creating new tourist attractions. High time he did. The tourist attractions we have in the city have become old stuffs and, to quote one travel writer, "quite monotonous." That's why many foreign tourists who come on a second visit having seen what they had seen on their first visit slip out of here and go to Bohol.

"The Cross of Magellan, the Taoist Temple, the centuries old churches, etc. are still attractions to newcomers but they seem to have lost their appeal to frequent visitors," said the travel writer.

OVERHEARD: The CBCP is urging the government to also make peace with the MNLF and other rebel groups, not only with the MILF-Bangsamoro. Commented a slaughterhouse butcher: "Kana diay'ng ubang pundok sa rebelde, pasagdan ra na sila. Husto ang mga obispo." Another comment: "Kanang mga komunistang NPA di gyud na palabot sa peace deal sa gobiyerno ug Bangsamoro. Magsamok-samok na gihapon."
