timbang misadventures! 2 - Text!




Most house helpers in bacolod are one of the most well off-paid among their classes, 1 helper can go at around P1500 a month depending on the assigned contract or the confirmed deal with their superiors, while I was on my way going home, I got a shot of some house helpers along the way and discussing about a text by I don't know either its her textmate or boyfriend... anyways how much can an "illongo timbang" cost her a day to get along with her communications??

well, as far as my friend and I know, the usual house helper will load a minimum of 15 pesos worth of credits in her phone, others will load depending on the network she uses, a call-only load, a text-only load or other types of load, she may spend 15 to 30 pesos worth of load...

example, she loads 15 pesos a day, 15 x 30 days, she will spend as much as P450 worth of load for a month
a 20 pesos load a day, P20 x 30 days she spends as much as P600 a month, depending to her if she has a lot of com-mates, she can either decrease it by urging her mates to pass a few credits to her number or she increases passes while she passes load to her com-mates number.. well as of now, texting and short calls are considered a major pastime of some people, I just come to think if they just spend it in buying their needs or just send the money to their families instead of spending it on a long-distance relationship that may not work her improve her status in life, well so much we can't hand it to them...
