What Piso Can Buy Nowadays?
Oh poor Juan. Why the world hath forsaken thee? Oh well, where the country’s currency is relatively getting stronger against the US dollar, the average Juan is keen on saving every piso (one Philippine peso) lest he would lost his unlimited texting in a day. Why not? The country’s economic gains are not trickling down to poor individual Filipinos struggling day in, day out.
Anyway, a couple of google search on what piso can buy nowadays and here are some interesting posts:
For street vendors, piso can be one small candy or one stick of cigarette or one piece of fishball or ice water. For Filipinos who can’t live without text messaging (texting, txting, SMS), one peso is the equivalent of one short message. Or for those who subscribe to unlimited texting for one day, it can be a few couple of bucks.
For those who have loved ones in the United States, it’s also one peso per text message with LoadnTxt. Now that’s the power of piso. LoadnTxt is PISO TEXT to the US. So you won’t have to complain that your piso is getting nowhere…
