A trucking firm executive whose father was my classmate in college asked me over the phone what I thought of the furor in Metro Manila against big cargo trucks. "They see these trucks as evil," he said. "They don't know what they're talking about."

Gibaha ta, gilinog ta, gibagyo ta... nahadlok ko moingon nalang unya ang Ginoo nga tapuson ko nalang ning akong kalibutan oy.
