    • 2008, Nicanor David, Mga kwento ng Batang kaning-lamig: ang pagpapatuloy ng pakikipagsapalaran ng isang sira-ulong overseas filipino worker:
      Ikalawa, protektahan ang mga parte ng katawan na lamigin: tenga, paa, leeg, bunbunan, at oo, betlog. Ay teka muna, mas maganda nga pala sa betlog ' pag malamig kasi namamatay daw ' yung mga semilya ' pag pinagpapawisan!
      Second, protect body parts that get cold the most: ears, feet, fontanelles, and of course, the balls. Hmm, it's interesting to speak of the balls because the sperm will die off in the cold when you're sweating.
