Old young

A vice mayor was calling for the lifting of the “stay home” order for senior citizens. For some, the elderly have been “imprisoned” in their houses since the start of the pandemic. But a 70-year-old marathon runner who has been running for over 30 years said, “Depende man na sa condition”. There’s the young old (“bata pa pero daghan sakit kay abusado sa lawas”) and the “old young” (edaran na, pero walay bisyo ug sigeg exercise and healthy living). The seniors’ theme song, an EAR informer said, should be “Release Me” by Engelbert Humperdinck.
