Serious tweets.
Owning an ostrich is legal. You can just go to a breeder and buy one, pretty much like buying a chicken or a duck. They really should pass a law or something because obviously ang layo ng size difference ng chicken sa ostrich. An ostrich chick costs around 25k-30k also 😊

I’m glad we had a good laugh at the Ostrich, but the stolen P15 Billion pesos from Philhealth, allegedly by its execom members should be today’s biggest news. 👇🏻 pic.twitter.com/IyE4eojRF1

Salamat sa nakaisip ng #OustTheRich
We have our eyes on the missing money and we are holding the line. But we are also grateful for the momentary distraction our fine feathered friends brought us today. We all need a laugh.
