Daughter Asks Money for Anniversary with BF, Tells Helper Mom She’ll Get Ignored

It’s her anniversary with her boyfriend and a young girl wanted to treat him out so they can have a good time. She demanded Php2,500 from her mother who works as house helper, telling her she will get ignored if she doesn’t send the money. The poor mom had to find a way to get the cash so her daughter won’t be angry.

Netizen Krish C. Bustos shared the story angrily after assisting the said mom at a remittance outlet.

According to Krish, she was at the remittance outlet to claim money. There were a lot of people lining up and she noticed a woman holding some money and timidly sitting at the corner. Seeing that the woman wasn’t queuing and the line was getting longer, Krish decided to help the woman after she was done with her transaction.

The conversation went like this:

Krish: Nay papadala po kayo?

Nanay: Oo

Krish: Haba na po ng pila oh pila na po kayo

Then, the old lady whispered to Krish’s ear as she was a bit shy.

Nanay: Wag kang maingay ha di kasi ako marunong mag sulat.

Krish: Ah ganon po ba. Kanino niyo po ba yan ipapadala?

Nanay: Sa anak ko.

Thinking that the woman’s child might be in school and needed the allowance, Krish offered to help – much to the woman’s delight.

Krish: Nay ano pong trabaho niyo?

Nanay: Nangangatulong nag aalaga ng bata.

She really thought the money was for the daughter’s allowance but Krish was angered as the woman revealed what the money was for.

Me: Nag aaral po anak niyo?

Nanay: Oo

Me: Ahh allowance po niya tong 2,500? (2,500 kasi yung ipapadala niya)

Nanay: Hindi pang anniversary daw nila nung boyfriend nya di na daw niya ko tatawagan pag di daw ako gumawa ng paraan para mapadala sa kanya tong pera.

Me: (Tumahimik lang ako kasi nakakabadtrip napa mura na lang ako sa isip)

Nanay: Ano ba yung anniversary?

Krish was angry at the woman’s daughter but explained what an anniversary was; she asked whether they should still send the money now that the woman knew what it was for. Sadly, she learned that the woman still wanted to continue sending the money because the daughter might never call her again if she doesn’t do it.

As they talked, Krish pulled up the daughter’s account on social media – and the woman confirmed that the girl in the photos was, indeed, her daughter.

Kay Ate girl nakita kita sa Facebook pero ayoko naman ichat ka as what I’ve said I don’t have any rights …Tinanong ko si Nanay kung ikaw ba yun “Oo yan yung anak ko” you looks like social climber..

Nabubuhay ka sa ganyang environment habang yung nanay mo nag kukumahog mag trabaho para sa PANG ANNIVERSARY NIYO NG JOWA MO!!!😏 Sana ma realized mo yang ginagawa mo ikaw pa talaga mag sasabi na di na siya tatawagan pag di nag padala.

A lot of netizens called on Krish to post the girl’s name and photos so she will know what she had done, but she believes the post would one day reach the young lady and she would know it was about her. She hopes the young girl would change her ways as her poor mother had to work hard for the money but she will only waste it for a date with her boyfriend.

Shout Out po sa may mga girlfriend at boyfriend dyan. Sana kung mag jojowa kayo sana naman yung pang date niyo di niyo na hinihingi sa mga magulang niyo di ganon kadali kumita pera lalo nat’ yung estado ng buhay niyo di naman ganon ka asenso. MAG IPON KA! GUSTO MO PALA NG DATE! MAG TRABAHO KA HABANG NAG AARAL PARA MAY PANG BIGAY KA JAN SA JOWA MO! HINDI NA KASI OBLIGASYON NG PARENTS YUN EI. OBLIGASYON LANG NILA YUN AY ANG PAG ARALIN TAYO.😪

Sad…

Prayer before Meals? Photo of Kneeling Customers of Roadside Carinderia Goes Viral

A photo of kneeling customers at a roadside carinderia goes viral, with many netizens joking that these “religious” buyers are already praying before their meal. LOL

Photo of Roadside Carinderia’s Kneeling Customers Goes Viral

In the Philippines, carinderias are a popular place for finding affordable, budget-friendly meals.

They’re usually small stalls with simple dining sets where people can dine for much less than what you’d normally get billed at a restaurant.

Carinderias themselves can still be considered a restaurant, but they’re a toned down version with much cheaper rates. You can even order “takeout” meals that they’ll usually put inside plastic roll bags instead of a Styrofoam or cardboard box you might expect from a regular restaurant.

And while carinderias aren’t usually the subject of a viral post, one recently gained social media fame after some customers have been photographed kneeling while taking their order.

Now, we forgot to mention that many carinderias have a loyal customer base of people who often go there on a regular basis. Many of them might be workers or students in the area. Other carinderias also have nearby residents as regular customers.

So, it isn’t surprising that when a carinderia was affected by a new road made several feet above the old one, the loyal customers kept coming back to the their favorite food source.

The only difference is that now they have to adjust and kneel down so they can check the food items being offered by the carinderia.

A photo of the said carinderia, credited to Facebook user Casper Correche, was shared on Facebook page “Calbayognon.” In the post, the page identified the carideria to be somewhere in Calbayog, Samar.

The page joked that the three guys seen in the photo were ordering one more serving of adobong manok before ending it with an “Amen.” It’s like they’re already done praying before they get to eat their meal.

How Road Widening Affects People in the Philippines

There are lots of great benefits to road widening:

  • Better roads
  • Wider roads that can accommodate more cars
  • Less traffic

However, road widening can also some negative effects:

  • Roadside houses and establishments might be included in the expansion
  • Some of these buildings can also become lower than the road level, leading to various issues (and the owners don’t usually get compensation to change their houses so they can be at road level again)

Customer Wants Free Portrait, Sends Bible Verse to Make Artist Feel Guilty

A customer wants free portrait – and had the audacity to send a Bible verse to make the artist feel guilty for trying to ask for payment in exchange for the drawing! Whoa.

Customer Wants Free Portrait, Guilt-Trips Artist with Bible Verse

These days, it has become easier for artists to connect with new customers through apps, messaging, and other social media or online tools.

You can even find an artist on Facebook marketplace, TikTok, Instagram, or just about any online platform available.

What’s sad is that these artists also encounter a lot of bogus “miners” or those who request for an artwork to be done, but then vanish without a trace. For example, a customer canceled two paintings created by a deaf-mute artist after he was already trying to deliver the pieces!

Recently, someone reached out to artist Chaboy dela Cruz to ask him to create a portrait.

And while that isn’t something new, the artist had a good sense to ask whether the person he was chatting with had plans to pay for the commissioned art – because they actually didn’t want to pay up!

This person even set the deadline, but was shocked to learn that the artist was asking for payment over the artwork.

Instead of asking how much they’re supposed to pay, this freeloader sent dela Cruz a screenshot of a biblical passage from Hebrews 13:5-8, which says in English, “Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have (because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake).

What’s even more hilarious about the customer’s demand is that they didn’t even know the artist personally. You’d think they were friends by how they worded the post. LOL.

How Much Do Drawings And Portraits Cost?

This actually depends on several factors, but mostly the artist’s talent and name. You’d see newbie artists charging as low as Php100 per bond paper-sized portrait, but the same thing could fetch thousands of pesos, maybe even millions if commissioned by a famous artist.

Doctor Goes Viral for Beautiful Penmanship and Writing Instructions in Filipino

A doctor goes viral for beautiful penmanship – and we also love that he writes the instructions in Filipino for his patients to better understand. Isn’t that awesome?

Doctor Goes Viral for Beautiful Penmanship

Yes, doctors are known for having a really bad, barely readable penmanship. There’s even an on-going joke that only pharmacists can understand what they write (which is actually true on many occasions).

Thankfully, many doctors have realized that writing their prescription in incomprehensible handwriting might lead to errors in dispensing the medications.

This can be dangerous, actually, especially because some medications can have lethal effects when given in incorrect doses or to someone with certain underlying medication conditions.

Recently, one doctor went viral for writing prescriptions in calligraphy-like handwriting – and she isn’t the only that impressed netizens with good penmanship.

Dr. Robert Dominic Gonzales amazed netizens when he shared a photo of a prescription that he had written for a patient.

It’s very clear from the prescription that he described this patient with Losartan at 50 mg per tablet.

The prescription is good for 30 tablets, with clear instructions written in Filipino for the patient to drink one tablet per day to control high blood pressure.

Dr. Gonzales captioned the post, “From practicing the alphabet, writing essays, and answering tons of exams… we’ve come to this point of using a pen and paper.

The impressive handwriting amazed netizens who mused that doctors should learn to write prescriptions in this manner so that it will be clear to the patient, not just to the pharmacist.

He explained that it’s best to write prescriptions in a manner that’s clear for everyone to help avoid medication errors. He added that taking the wrong medication due to these errors can put the patient’s life in danger.

How to Make Sure You’re Taking the Right Medicine

  • Check your doctor’s prescription to see if you can understand what’s written
  • Don’t be shy to ask the medications’ names and the right dosage you need to take
  • Don’t be afraid to request your doctor to make the medication name easier to read so you won’t mix up your medicines
  • Double check the name of the medicines you receive from the pharmacy
  • Buy a pill box or labeled container to help you keep track of the medications (many people forget whether they’ve already taken the medicine or not)
  • If you have plenty of medicines, organize them and create a list of what you need to drink for a particular hour of the day
