PUPILS. At a public elementary school, two boys are taunting each other.

EXCHANGE. "Tagalog, puti itlog (Tagalog, white or transparent testicles), says one boy to another. "Bisaya, puro salita (Cebuano, all air)," replies the other. A female teacher overhears the exchange of words, interferes, saying, boys, ayaw mo pagjagajaga dira. (Stop bullying each other)."

TEACHER. But one of the boys just can't shut up. He continues, "Maestra, pisot (teacher, uncircumcised)."
