I saw her again this afternoon as I was on my way to buy a drink at 7-Eleven. Several years ago, she showed up at our church asking people leaving the chapel after Holy Mass if they had a job for her. I pitied her although I really couldn't do anything while the others she approached suggested she inquire at the barangay captain's office. Years later I would see her beg here in campus. Today, I was shocked to see that she had grown painfully thin. I gave her fifty pesos which she gratefully accepted with a "Thank you po!" I hope it helps. I plan to buy her a decent meal from the COOP next time I see her.
