Janet turning singer

‘ A Cebuano who knows not much about Tagalog, the language, was seen smiling and shaking his head as he read the news in a Tagalog tabloid that said: "Totoy nalunod sa pool"

and "Lagay ng pari OK na."’

" Janet Napoles sings," says this headline here. Many more lawmakers will be facing the music? It's now the turn of the florists to face the tax collectors. They have to prove that their business is no bed of roses. A Cebuano who knows not much about Tagalog, the language, was seen smiling and shaking his head as he read the news in a Tagalog tabloid that said: " Totoy nalunod sa pool" and " Lagay ng pari OK na." The Philippine­s ranks 37th in global firepower. They forgot to count the firepower of the holduppers. It says here that the senators in the pork barrel scam face automatic suspension. Someone asked me: " How automatic is this automatic suspension?"

It also says here that the Muslim commission is banned from getting "pork." But of course! Who cares about pork in the Muslim commission? The World Sleep Day was celebrated recently. It aims to promote awareness on the benefits of sleep. It also aims to educate Filipinos about the importance of a good night's sleep. No, no, no, sleeping on the job is not being promoted by the observance of the World Sleep Day. Did you know that sleep deprivatio­n is a serious disorder that affects some 100 million people worldwide, including the Philippine­s? " Sleep disorders like sleep deprivatio­n and obstructiv­e sleep apnea are becoming a global health concern as they are often left untreated due to lack of awareness of the public and healthcare profession­als," according to Fabia TetterooBu­eno, country manager of Philips Philippine­s, spearhead of the World Sleep Day celebratio­n. OVERHEARD. There is a chance that Janet LimNapoles, said to be the brains of the PDAF or pork barrel scam, will be made a whistleblo­wer against the lawmakers involved in the kickbacks. Commented a restaurant waiter: " Unsa? Wa na ko kasabot ining kasuha." Replied a diner: "Hasta ko Sir oy. Ang utok sa scam mao nay himuong whistleblo­wer?" Waiter: " Basin hasta si Benhur Luy iya nang ilogan sa whistle."
