INTERIOR Secretary Jonvic Remulla made an amusing announcement recently that all disorderly acts, such as drinking sprees and gambling on the street, walking shirtless, and minors violating nighttime curfews, shall be prohibited by the Philippine National Police and village watchmen under pain of punishment. His directive was met with sarcasm and brickbats in the wake of more pressing issues confronting the country today, such as surging fuel prices and economic uncertainties arising from the war in the Middle East.
