Wednesday, December 06, 2006 Speak out: Answering an old need By Don Ampilo Hisoler Tuyan, Naga, Cebu
The reported brawls involving military and police personnel in different cities of Cebu is a natural phenomenon.
Phenomenon here means something beyond ordinary conception, or that which excite the imagination or inspires awe or wonder.
When I read in the papers that the Marines from Samar and Mindanao are coming to Cebu to augment the security forces for the 12th Asean Summit, my question then was: Is there an equal and opposite sex augmentation?
One Marine battalion for sure cannot be accommodated by the Kamagayan triangle alone, even with the support of other red light districts of adjacent cities.
What I am trying to drive at here are my experiences and exposures as a salesman once assigned in the Leyte- Samar area and the island of Mindanao.
These rebel-infested areas produced the toughest and wildest soldiers in the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
Many times we have encountered these scenes in beerhouse/videoke joints when red lights turned yellow then blue and all of a sudden blacked out.
Time for sweet music.
Always, our night life was limited to few bottles of beer for fear of an encounter with the group.
Now the Marines are in Cebu until the 12th Asean summit is over.
Consider this: Away from home, alone, hungry and angry sexually, empty arms, and sleepless nights.
In short, like a dog-in-heat.
So what will the public expect?
I would like to share these observations with Police Regional Office 7 Chief Silverio Alarcio and the other police officers.
This most-craved fruit is the oldest product of human consumption way back in the garden of Eden.
