This story is just awesome. A teen in Cebu, working as a scavenger, found USD60,000. That’s about three million pesos. Whoever said that there was money in trash ought to claim royalties from this kid.
But what makes this story really cool is that the kid kept the money. None of that do-gooder bullshit about waiting around for someone to claim the cash. The money was in the dump and yeah, finders keepers and losers, well, LOSERS!
I should quit my job and start poking around garbage.

Whoever said that we’ve shed our colonial mentality is stupid. We haven’t. Too many of us still run around trying our best to be good little Americans. Some of us try to distinguish themselves from the mass of American wannabes and try their darndest to be … Spaniards. Hah!
But really, wanting to be like these foreign types is not a problem. What burns me up is when Filipinos totally ignore ideas coming from a Filipino only to ooh and ahh at the same idea when a white guy says it. No one wants race to be an issue but the correlation is so blindingly obvious that I’d be a chump not to call it out.
What’s even worse than that is when the bosses start talking about the foreigners as though they were godsent. Motherfuckers haven’t even brought a single idea to the table that isn’t already on file as a proposal from one of us Filipinos.
So fuck you.
Fuck you very very much.
