Polgas' threat to have the bank robbers killed is eerily reminiscent of the alleged circumstances behind the Kuratong Baleleng rub-out case in 1995. Philippine Senator Panfilo Lacson was investigated over the case that year as chief of the Presidential Anti-Crime Commission's Task Force Habagat.
The strip where Polgas apparently caught Bab pocketing the money does not actually show Bab's hands on the cash. A closer inspection shows one pile gradually disappearing - all the while, Polgas has his back to Bab.

Famous quotes containing the words pop and/or culture:

“Every man has been brought up with the idea that decent women don’t pop in and out of bed; he has always been told by his mother that “nice girls don’t.” He finds, of course, when he gets older that this may be untrue—but only in a certain section of society.”
—Barbara Cartland (b. 1901)

“Anthropologists have found that around the world whatever is considered “men’s work” is almost universally given higher status than “women’s work.” If in one culture it is men who build houses and women who make baskets, then that culture will see house-building as more important. In another culture, perhaps right next door, the reverse may be true, and basket- weaving will have higher social status than house-building.”
—Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen. Excerpted from, Gender Grace: Love, Work, and Parenting in a Changing World (1990)
