Story of two nuns

I sympathize with my business friend Ed Alunan with his problem about airports.

The problems of the Manila airport are the same as the problems of our local airport here.  The local problem is worse.  Parking in NAIA is at P50 a day.  Here it is P200.  This is extortion.

And this is because of a syndicate.

Writing to the President shows naiveté. Secretaries around the President will just throw the letter to the waste basket to protect Aquino from critics.

Ed Alunan could have used well known Manila columnists.  Or he can use the office of the Transportation Secretary Mar Roxas.  He needs that for the Presidential election in 2016.

There is a big syndicate operating in airports.  And people close to the President are involved.  Ed Alunan should have known these.

Ask Millie Kilayko to help.  She’ll do her best to help Mar Roxas.

Ed should also ask the help of Gov. Freddie Marañon.  Freddie will help.  Negrenses are affected.

What should be done is to expose the syndicate who have connections up to the level of Malacañang.  NAIA has been corrected.  Bacolod syndicate leader is reported by Ed Alunan of being from Iloilo.

The syndicate is responsible for a number of scams.

Is the leader a Roxas man?  This will endanger his chances to be President in 2016. Binay is closely watching.

I like this feedback from a friend, Jovito Alilain.  Said he, “Whenever I have a problem, I just sing.  Then I realize my voice is worse than my problem.  I forget the problem.”

Texted Boy Nilo Lizares.  “PNP and Army deploy troopers at E.B. Magalona barangay.” Headline at DAILY STAR.  Wrong strategy because they should not publicize their moves. How can they catch the rebels this way?

The PNP and the Army are after publicity.  Governor Marañon should do something about why rebels are making a laughing stock of government troop.

We know the Governor has been disappointed with the performance of government troops.

Frank Fernandez has proven to be better and more competent.

The soldiers have been reporting rebels killed        almost every other day. Yet their number is increasing.

I have been disappointed with my Globe cellphone.

Globe has been telling me that as a long time user, I accumulated points.  Lately, they told me my points were not validated.

If not corrected I will get out of Globe and ask other Globe users to also get out.

Globe has the same problem with other telecom companies.  They take their users for a ride. I believe they don’t resort to these sale techniques.  I will not stop hitting Globe on this until it corrects itself.

I want to share with you Albert Lim’s “Story of Two Nuns.” There were two nuns, one of them was known as Sister Mathematical (SM), and the other one was known as Sister Logical (SL). It is getting dark and they are still far away from the convent.

SM: Have you noticed that a man has been following us for the past thirty-eight and a half minutes? I wonder what he wants.  SL: It's logical. He wants to have sex with us.

SM: Oh, no! At this rate he will reach us in 15 minutes at the most! What can we do? SL: The only logical thing to do of course is to walk faster.

A little while later...

SM: It's not working.  SL: Of course it's not working. The man did the only logical thing. He started to walk faster, too.  SM: So, what shall we do? At this rate he will reach us in one minute. SL: The only logical thing we can do is split. You go that way and I'll go this way. He cannot follow us both.

So the man decided to follow Sister Logical.  Sister Mathematical arrives at the convent and is worried about what has happened to Sister Logical.

Then Sister Logical arrives.

SM: Sister Logical! Thank God you are here! Tell me what happened!

SL: The only logical thing happened. The man couldn't follow us both, so he followed me.  SM: Yes, yes! But what happened then?

SL: The only logical thing happened. I started to run as fast as I could and he started to run as fast as he could. SM: And?

SL: The only logical thing happened.  He reached me.  SM: Oh, dear! What did you do?  SL: The only logical thing to do. I lifted my dress up.

SM: Oh, Sister! What did the man do?  SL: The only logical thing to do. He pulled down his pants.

SM: Oh, no! What happened then?  SL: Isn't it logical, Sister? A nun with her dress up can run faster than a man with his pants down.

And for those of you who thought it would be dirty, say two Hail Marys. It will clear your thought and praise Sister Logical.

FEEDBACK: I would like to thank friends lawyer, Rene Espiritu, Edgar Sarrosa, and Bart Orola who visited me at home.

They prayed over me.

Salute to the National Federation of Sugarcane Planters and its president Nene Rojas.  Recently they had the biggest project in the industry.

Eighty four officers and members of NFSP took an educational tour of the sugar industry in Thailand.  Modi Sa-onoy made an in-depth report on Thai sugar worth studying by our planters.  Nene managed NFSP finances that it could afford the costly trip.

Cheers!*
