After dusting themselves off, the Nun and the Priest surveyed their situation. After a long period of silence, the Priest spoke. 'Well,Sister, this looks pretty grim.' 'I know, Father. In fact, I don't think it likely that we can survive more than a day or two.' 'I agree,' says the Father. 'Sister, since we are unlikely to make it out of here alive, would you do something for me?' 'Anything, Father.' 'I have never seen a woman's breasts and I was wondering if I might see yours.' 'Well, under the circumstances I don't see that it would do any harm.'

Mainly, the amount of power lines that Meralco has put up all over the place with no regard for aesthetics. :) Also, seeing there's no difference in how Binondo Church looks reminds me of what my grandmother told me that they stopped renovating the front of Binondo church because everytime they did, a war broke out.
