Patrick

The jeepney rides mostly give me stories. Here is one.

This is the second time that I encountered this estriboy guy, that's why I feel like writing about it.

At the sambat ng Pagsawitan, there's a boy who is like a taong grasa that will try to ride the jeepney. He will just stand at the entrance of the jeep while it goes. The first time I saw him, Mamang Driver was so angry that he even took out something-that-looked-like-a-bat from his side and acted as if he's going to hit the boy. The boy went down.

This time, the mamang driver seems to be nice. He allowed the boy to ride the jeep and was even smiling at him. This time, too, the boy has company. They both sat at the far end of the jeep, near the entrance. Later on, as we passed by the Areza Mall, Mamang Driver said, "Patrick, papalit naman ng bente." And Patrick says, "Ok." Then, I saw him put his hands in his pocket and when it was out, I saw a couple of bills (maybe more than Php100 in total) and in his hands, the coins. He started to count until he had enough.

I was surprised that this boy has that much money. I wonder where he gets it though. It wasn't like he asked us for alms during the ride and all. He was just sitting there and looked like he was sightseeing. I was a little vigilant though that he might be into pickpocketing (or anything of that sort) when he rides jeepneys.


He went down across the Shell Station near the Pagsanjan town plaza.

This boy, Patrick, is interesting. So, readers, if you are passing by that stretch of road to and from work or school, please take extra care of your things. I don't really know how he gets the money so may this serve as a warning.

In other news.

For those of you who didn't know, Hen-Lin now has a branch in Pagsanjan. It is located right in front of the Pagsanjan Medical Clinic (Unson Hospital). Just a little information, just in case you didn't know yet.

P.S.
I wanted to take his picture, but I know that even these people have their right. And besides, I didn't even dare to ask, because he might turn violent.
