it was such an uncomfortable, crowded and damp jeepney ride under the evening rain. Everyone in the the jeep was sleepy and tired. The mood was, however, brightened up by three ladies. The first one sweetly spoke,
"Bayad, palihog".. A passenger handed her payment to the driver then she said,
"Salamat". Shortly after a second lady said,
"Bayad, palihog.. Salamat!".. Then the third went,
"Bayad, palihog.. Salamat!"
Three ladies, three sweet and sincere voices - reasons for the smile on my face and for those happy memories to start playing over.
[Bayad, palihog - My payment, please (Shortened version for "Hand to the driver my fare, please"
Salamat - Thank you]
