In the 1952 Baao Fiesta Souvenir Program, the late, renowned trilingual poet (he wrote the Bikol translation of “Mi Ultimo Adios” which has been erroneously credited to somebody else in the Rizal Park), political gadfly, genealogist, former town mayor, and local historian Luis G. Dato wrote the excerpt quoted below. Spot the unintended joke therein, tell us why you think so, submit your entry by snail mail or e-mail (include full name, address, and contact number) to Jose B. Perez, Bicol Mail editor, and receive from JoeBarr Five Hundred Pesos (P500.00) in cash plus a copy of his book, In the Crucible of an Asymmetrical War in Camarines Sur 1942-1945, if you hit the nail. Joe Perez and a panel will judge the entries; their decision will be final. Here is the excerpt:

        The story is told of Timoteo Imperial, a maternal great uncle, andnephew and ward of Rev. Pio Imperial (Among), then assigned to the parish of Sorsogon, that Mons. Francisco Gainza on a pastoral visit wanted to see him. Instead of leaving his bed, and making his reverence to the bishop of

        Nueva Caceres, and appreciating the honor being accorded him by the highest ecclesiastical personage of the diocese, a no mean honor especially in those days of a more fervent Catholicism, Timoteo, late abed from a nocturnal drinking bout, greeted the bishop with “Que carajo”, which must have scandalized his good uncle and the great bishop, a famed disciplinarian.

        “Masama an lagay ni Moteo” (“Moteo is in a bad fix”), the bishop sighed.

        Needless to say, he was given a sound thrashing when the bishop had left.
