This aling alma issue reminds me of our gardener who went here kanina sa amin to tend to our garden para may pang kain sila. Ayaw niya daw na ibibigay lang yung pera sa kanya, gusto niya mag work for it.

When I gave him the payment, tip, and some goods from our kitchen,

Medyo naluha pa siya kasi may pang kain na daw sila. And may I tell you na nakakalungkot na he was so happy na with that amount of money. And mapag kakasya naman daw nila yun for a week, even two, kasi may relief goods from brgy and us pa daw.

Yan yung reason why nainis ako.

I didnt see the point in saying na for one week lang ung 8k when in fact wala pa nga sa katiting ng 8k ung binigay ko kay manong kanina. Si manong tuwang tuwa sa pera na yun, si ate wala ka man lang maramdaman na gratefulness sa 8k.

And before you call me matapobre, 8 kami sa bahay (sometimes 9 pag nandito lola ko). Kung pagkain, gas, and toiletries lang usapan, sobra talaga ang 8k for a week.

Maski kami, we can budget that 8k for two weeks or more worth of grocery. I know the presyuhan kasi kasama ako lagi

Tuwing nag gogrocery kaya you can& #39;t come at me and say this is BS.

Tsaka lang magkukulang & #39;yang 8k for a family of 8 kapag may iba ka pang bayarin (medicine, electricity, water, cable, wifi, rent, loan) which is not really counted when they computed for that amount of ayuda.
