Department of Agriculture puzzled over increase in prices of pork.
It’s the Holy Week and Catholics eat less pork. It must not be because of rise in demand for the food.

The cartel is doing a hell of mind conditioning.

Aid from Europe and the USA will stop coming to the Philippines if we don’t stop extrajudicial killings.

Joke of the week.
It was a light day for Superman. Crime was slow so he decided to take a break but needed company.
He dropped by the place of Spiderman inviting to a round of beer. Spidey refused saying he has to repair his web-shooter.
Superman went next to the Bat Cave to get Batman to join him. But Batman was doing repairs on his Batmobile.
Disappointed, Superman takes to the air and, thanks to his supervision, he sees Wonderwoman lying in the balcony, spread eagle and stark naked. With superspeed, he dives down and shags her in a flash and was gone before anyone could notice.
Wonderwoman stand up in surprise and asks
“what was that?”
“I don’t know,” says Invisible Man, adding, “but it hurt like hell!”
