During his moments of relaxation that includes sitting in coffee shops for several hours, Adobo Ilonggo heard this conversation in an upscale coffee shop in one of the major malls in Iloilo City. But Adobo Ilonggo will just write in English for the benefit of this blog’s English speaking and Tagalog readers who do not fail to read this blog daily.
Man 1: Uy, this John Sapio, that nitwit reporter from Aksyon Radyo must getting a big amount from Rommel Ynion no?
Man 2: Really, what makes you say so?
Man 1: Because John Sapio has changed his Toyota Innova that Rommel gave him into a Nissan Patrol with plate number THL 893. Also from Rommel, said my friends.
Man 2: Whoa! That is a very expensive SUV, sanamagan!
Man 1: If there is a lifestyle check for radio reporters, this John Sapio will certainly fail. I wonder why John Paul Tia does not discipline him. Could he be on the take
Man 2: What do we care? John Sapio, like Joecel Banias are as worse as the king of AC-DC Manuel Mejorada. They destroy the mayor of Iloilo City and the city’s reputation in exchange for cars, housing and money money money.
Man 1: Hah hahahahah. Very well said!
Adobo Ilonggo sits sipping coffee, very amused at the exchange. Hanging around coffeeshops is really entertaining.
