...and then there's this showbiz TV reporter who apparently has been claiming to have studied Speech Communication in UP Diliman when she actually took up Broadcasting, that she's in her early 20s when she's my sister's batchmate (and my sister's 30 years old), and that during her stint at a major TV network (prior to her days as a celebrity), she failed to show up for editing because she was too hungover to work.

On ABC 5 the other night: A report about income taxes. The reporter was interviewing street and sidewalk vendors if they pay their taxes and one woman answered, "Yes, we pay fees to the police, and for our stalls too."

"But what about paying your taxes to the Bureau of Internal Revenue?"

"Yes, we pay everyday."

"But what about the Bureau of Internal Revenue?"

"What's that?"

A radio commercial for a deodorant: "What does it mean when the sky is dark?"

"Ah, maybe a storm's coming."

"What does it mean when armpits are dark?"

"Ah, then someone plucked her underarms."

Blah blah blah lovely deodorant works wonders blah blah makes your armpits pretty blah blah blah...

"And what does it mean when you've got white armpits?"

"Ah, maybe someone's gonna get a boyfriend!"

Oh wow, to be chewed out on national television by Tyra Banks. What must that have been like?
