The world badly needs superheroes. In the midst of all the problems that we ordinary mortals cannot possibly bear on our shoulders, a superhero that arrives at the right moment is a most welcome sight. Look up the sky (or go to any pasalubong outlet in Baguio City, especially at the Mines View Park) and what do you see? No, it’s not a bird. Not a plane or Superman, even. It’s…uhm….Barrel Man!

We’re tempted to spill the beans on Barrel Man‘s special power. Yes, Jose, Barrel Man has a secret weapon. But we won’t tell you. If you already know, good for you. If not yet, we won’t spoil the fun. Let’s just say it’s like “sproingggg”. Go ahead, pull out and remove the barrel once you encounter the Barrel Man. Give it as a gift to someone who is very, very conservative. Sproing! Just for fun.
