Posted in Comics

“In the meantime, habang wala pang president ang Congress na ito ay si Direk Carlo J. Caparas na muna ang tatayong temporary president natin.”
What the-!?
“Wala bang tutol? Okay, so siya na ang president ng Komiks Congress! Palakpakan natin si Direk Carlo J. Caparas!”
I can’t believe it was that fast. I haven’t even finished contemplating the […]
