For a while now, we have been getting old and worn out 20 pesos. Sorry for the inverted pic, I took them via photbooth.. Whenever we ask banks to change them - they say that its be BEST that they have.  I know for a fact that foreign countries print new money when the ones in circulation are old and worn out.  So I ask - why not print new ones?  I mean, is it that expensive? My mom used to work in a bank and during her time, the management doesn't allow the release of old worn out money.  Also, they sort out money in different conditions - they have a stack for new ones, semi-crispy one, crumpled crispy ones and old worn-out money. What happened to the current system?  Why don't tellers/banks sort money anymore? Hmmm...

We are victims of the flood. Our house, office and factory were flooded with thigh deep water during Ondoy. The day after the typhoon - my family, our helpers and workers cleaned out everything that was damaged. It was only a few days ago, that we fully cleared out the flood damage. All that were flooded and unusable - we put in sacks and brought them out for the garbage trucks to pick up. We waited. Garbage trucks passed by - but only got the small sacks. Telling us that the sacks are too heavy to carry. We then divided the sacks - into smaller sacks, even offering to help carry the sacks to the garbage trucks. But we were ignored and even told that the sacks were still heavy. A basurero even snickered saying ' Wala kasi kayong panigarilyo ' Why in the effing hell are we supposed to give ' panigarilyo ' to them when in fact it is their job to pick up garbage? Are we required to give them 'panigarilyo' just for them to do their jobs?? Is that even right?? W...
