Under this Tinubulation, any living thing that has sufficient meat automatically qualities as stomach infrastructure.

Funny enough, the Tinubulation is still in the Balablu stage. By the time we get to Bulaba, fellow humans may qualify as stomach infrastructure.

The governor should have called the wildlife conservationists instead
