    champagne/wine and a TV/DVD remote. Under the influence pa ang

    inquirer has always the right to remove the comments section on what ever they wish pasalamat na lang tau na pwede tau mag feedback sa mga storya nila as social interaksyon and kung di nyo gusto yong report dahil di panig sa boss nyo eh pumunta kau don sa ibang site na panig sa boss nyo halimbawa sa tribune diba kung sasabihin nyo na alisin yong advertiser eh mali naman yata yon bakit bibigyan nyo ba ng trabaho yong mga ordinaryong worker dyan kung bibiyan nyo di maganda..
