Call Me Michael...Michael Sibbaluca

a friend, ipangalan na lang natin si Kung Fu Panda, texted me today, palit ka baby armalite with infrared o .45 caliber with 10 rounds hallow point na bala o brand new mp-5 submachine gun?

without a dark surprise, I asked another friend—an avid gun buyer and a.k.a. David Cook!—of their market price.

HK MP5D = PhP180,000.00
M16 carbine (a.k.a baby armalite) without infrared = PhP70,000.00
brand new Colt M4 with red dot scope, flashlight, vertical grip = PhP170,000.00
.45 or the kwarentay singko = PhP17,000.00-PhP200,000


my first friend price list is cheaper though:

HK MP5D = almost PhP50,000.00
M16 carbine (a.k.a baby armalite) without infrared = PhP30,000.00++
.45 or the kwarentay singko = PhP15,000.00


i was chuckling with i was in. must be a joke but 'tangina! hefty trade 'to ah!

suddenly, both friends, altogether in exact time, shag off a certain degree of black trading. Kung Fu Panda advised to personally discuss the gun specifications. International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) might intercept our text messages; David Cook on the other hand advised to conceal his identity.

i was scared, but, hey, i have never been into black gun trade, i thought. this is cool!

then, boom! I AM IN THE GUN TRADE! i instantly found myself trading information between 2 friends of other "stocks" they have. I felt like Nicolas Cage in the Lord of Wars movie.

"Man, guns are cheap here in Mindanao!" Market dynamics are however different in the mainland and islands (Sulu, Basilan, Tawi-Tawi, per se). Mainland sells cheaper while the islands sell expensive guns during elections. O well, supply determines it. just find where our most "A-forces" troop in.

so, call me! call me Michael.....Michael Sibbaluca
