Now that is geopolitics.
The first message I got upon waking was from my friend saying, “Reserve all your friends copies of today’s Philippine Star. I myself bought three copies. Tell you the complete story later.”
So I looked at the front page of the Star. Clearly he meant this.

So my friend was in the car with his mom. He picked up the Star and was immediately hypnotised by the front page, and I don’t mean the story of the mango that had just made it into the Guinness Book of World Records.
His mom looked straight ahead at the traffic.
After several minutes of silence, he was moved to say something.
“Ang laki ng mangga,” he said. (That’s a big mango.)
“Oo nga,” his mom replied. (Yes, it is.)
End of story.
