Friday Secret# 3 and local cops
January 26, 2007
Background: Friday Secret# 1, Friday Secret# 2
When I was very young, naive and stupid, I actually paid off a cop.
The story behind my encounter with them will forever remain buried with me until the day I die so let’s focus here. For fear of my safety (imagine? from manila’s finest?) and well-being, I gave in to what they asked.
In return for not filing any charges (don’t ask!), they were willing to accept 30,000 pesos. HELOW! I was driving my car so they probably assumed I was loaded. I wasn’t. I was a regular employee slaving away 70-hour weeks and just happened to be driving my father’s car. I said I didn’t have the money - in my very teeny weeny pleading voice. They whispered among themselves (about 5 cops) and apparently agreed to a lesser amount. One of them… the most lewd-looking one of all, approached me and said “O sige 15 thousand na lang. Yung totoo nga e 50K ang bail dyan kaso aregluhin na lang natin”.
