Rizal’s not forgotten: The truth behind the value of ‘piso’

The daily grind begins late — as usual. I wake up late, take too long in the shower and end up having to enjoy my coffee in the jeepney. In the mad morning rush, I always forget something. The last time, I forgot to bring my school bag. It’s like a curse — that every morning I have to think of what could be the possible thing I might forget.
