BUPAK TOT BABOL # 1: CHEAT

Some do it to earn a bigger windfall. For Ninoy’s sake.  Manong driver does a batingting so his meter can run faster than the speed of light.

Others, to fill a void. For Cupid’s sake.  Hubby (or to be gender-sensitive, wifey) scours the great plain, finds a willing prey and lands in a ready nest.

Manay Lolit did it for fame. Apo Ferdie for greed. Pareng Wristband due to sheer stupidity. La Gloria out of habit.

For the act to be consummated, two participants are needed. Both are assumed to play equally-important roles. One cannot exist without the other. Active and passive. Cheater and cheatee.

Now before we pass judgment on the cheater and shed a tear for the cheateee, let’s mull over the following:

Who cheats who?  Quick reply. Cheater cheats cheateee. How about cheater cheats cheater? Think self crime.

Who's better off, worse off? Manong driver goes home happier, car barn earlier. Hubby (yes, wifey) ends up emotionally filled, carnally satisfied. In the case of the "offended" party, "what you don't know wont hurt you."

Who's to blame? Manong driver who  knows how to smell opportunity. Passenger who’s oblivious and doesn’t care. A libidinally needy hubby (yes, wifey). A “ barren” spouse.

Does it serve the common good? Think emancipation of both.
