Sutherland Slaughter

It's not everyday that you hear someone from your office had been decapitated and left in a bathroom in some seedy motel while her alleged boyfriend, who shares the same floor as you, left the place with a sack on his hand, containing, [hopefully not] the head of the victim.
Warning: You will see the word "alleged" a lot in this post.
As I entered the office, it was abuzz with the word "pugot" (beheading). Not so long after, a colleague approached me and informed me of the gruesome incident. Kathrina Gantan had been left headless by her alleged boyfriend, Adonis Carino Reyes in room 518 of Miyabe Court, Angeles, Pampanga.

Speculations flew over the motive of the [killer]. I personally did not know him, but some of my officemates who played basketball with him had sworn that he wasn't the kind to do such an inhumane act. What could have motivated this? I ask.

The day progressed and more stories were told by the people around. They said that Kat, (as she was known to her friends) allegedly has a boyfriend other than the suspect, Adonis. And that the suspect himself was married to another woman. Judging from this context, one might ask, was it a crime of passion? If so, was it done by the suspect himself or the other boyfriend? The inquiring mind will not rest until someone is implicated. I hope justice will be served.

Pacquiao VS. Clottey - A Post-Fight Special

With the Pacquiao - Clottey fight just culminating in an almost landslide victory for the Pacman himself, it is inevitable people are going to speculate.

Fight aficionados all over Facebook are already deeming the fight "staged" and "boring" because the fight was lackluster [or to state the obvious... deadbeat]. To some, the fight would be remembered as the day that Clottey held together his arms and covered his face. It's one thing to wish the fight ended in an absolute K.O. but it's another to watch a man merely defend himself during the 12-round bout. Clottey looked nothing more than Pacquiao's sparring partner. Come to think of it, they looked like BFFs in the ring. To quote someone from the web: "Watch out, Clottey might soon come to the Philippines as the next endorser of San Miguel Beer."

Scary how the last statement could easily become true after we saw De La Hoya's famous drink ads. - Carlo Soriano
