The conclusion of the Corona Impeachment Trial reminded me of a couple of stories told down the Jal-o. These stories illustrate two survival techniques espoused by those who refused any of the principles of life being taught by those great minds that have had walked the earth:

| Harvesting the produce of the pond |
Deny Even if You Got Caught.
The fishpond operator is suspicious that some of his harvest are being stolen by an insider. He spoke out his mind in a threatening voice before his turf:
Sin-o kinyo ro kumupit it alimago? (Who among you took interest in my crabs?)
Knowing that the operator is a mean man, the honest thief volunteered:
Sang saga man lang, Maninoy, ang ginbuoe (I only took about a kilo of them, my dear Godfather.)
The condescending operator thus responded:
Gago! Sayod mong saea, akoon mo! (Stupid! You knew beforehand that it is wrong and you dare admitting it!)

| The produced of the brackish Jal-o |
Don't Throw Stones on Your Fellow Thief
The guard reported proudly to his boss. "Sir, I caught a thief tonight."
"What did you do to him?" asked the boss.
"Oh, I shoot him to death, sir."
"Holy cow! We will all be wiped out if you kept doing such thing!" (Gakala-ubos kita sini)
