DIRTY MONEY: A Pinay nurse vacationing in Cebu from Spain told an Ear informer that she got a bashing from restaurant cashier after she refused to accept three dirty P20 bills. "Hugaw ug medyo dunot na," she said. "Dihang wa nako dawata ug wa sad ko miingon nga ilisdi nasuko ang cashier ug giingnan ko niya nga arte kaayo," the nurse said

CLEAN MONEY. The nurse said she had been to many places in Europe, UK and US but there was not a single time that she was given dirty bills or banknotes. The paper bills handed to her as change were clean and crisp.
