Religious images

HOLY PARTNERS. Some business establishments in Cebu are now displaying the image of San Pedro Calungsod beside the image of Sr. Sto. Niño. An Ear informer said he had seen no less than three stores with the image of Sr. Sto. Niño paired with an image of San Pedro Calungsod. “Aron kadungagan ang proteksyon alang kanamo,” explained an aging owner of one of the stores in a talk with our informer.

BUDHA. Our informer who sells herbal medicines from hour to house said he had also seen a Chinese store with the image of Budha alongside with the Sto. Niño. “Ambut unsay kaayuhan nga madawat sa tag-iya sa tindahan niini,” our informer, the herbal peddler, wanted to know.
