THE EAR - The Freeman
June 3, 2014 | 12:00am

PAY PER VIEW. A family in one of the city's depressed areas make little money by letting some neighbors without TV sets to watch the PBA games for one peso per view. "It's the cheapest sports pay-per-view business in the world of sports," said an Ear informer.

CONTROL. The family head said they had to charge fans a few cents or a peso to control the number of people coming to their house to see the PBA games. "Pero naay mga silingan nga way diyot OK na lang maikog man tang di pasudlon," he said.
