Coughing woman

COUGH. While walking along Legaspi Street after hearing Mass at the Cathedral, a well-dressed woman passed by a skinny woman squatting and coughing. She faced the woman saying: "Ayaw'g lakaw. Huwata ko."

MEDICINE. The well-dressed woman came back and handed the coughing woman some medicine (the now well-known herbal medicine). It was in capsules, so water was needed. "Hibaw ka'g unsa? Ang babaye’ng good samaritan pa ang nangita'g tubig," The Ear informer said.
