I celebrated a milestone recently and in the celebration, one of my friends with, shall we say, a well known “conyo” surname proudly walked up to me and handed me her gift.
She goes on a monologue, ” this is a special kind of fish found only in X PROVINCE , its very oily so its wrapped in dyaro. It also has a pungent odor so be careful to have your cook “prepare” it in the dirty kitchen. You dip it in vinegar to marry the flavors as it can be salty. They say that the poor used to eat it until those not poor discovered it and now its so mahal. if you like it, let me know i will get more and give you!”
I was suitably impressed and curious, so as soon as I got home I ripped open the plastic cling wrap, shredded the dyaro and lo and behold! —- its three dozen dried TUYO staring back at me!
I was torned between incredulity and laughter! And so I just shook my head, told my yaya to put it in a plastic container for all of us to share– Me being an equal opportunity rich and poor eat the same kind of girllbossph😂
It led me to think whether the gap disparity between the rich and the poor is really that huge that my really nice friend was so clueless of what a TUYO is?
Irregardless of some of the rich’s cluelessness, and no matter how much inside a bubble they are, I think the more important question is “are the rich doing their part in social responsibility? in helping improve lives?” if the answer is yes. then it shouldnt matter if they are clueless or not. Tuyo is tuyo and its salty goodness is for everyone.
