The guy robbed the taxi driver and got one stroke of the cane. What is one stroke? If he got thick hide, it would just be a scratch on his butt. The mata mata officer made the tiongbu performed oral sex on him in the police station, he got one stroke. What is one stroke to a mata mata for abusing his authority? He would be laughing his ass off at the paps.
