"Manong" is our friendly neighborhood food vendor that sells deliciously cheap styrofoam-packed lunches at our office building. He camps out everyday at the 7.5th and 14.5th floor (that's halfway up the stairwell from the HP floors) right around noon. These famously affordable lunches sell for 45 pesos each and come with a viand (3-4 choices daily!), vegetables on the side, a fruit or chocolate for dessert, and loads of rice.
At lunch time, people rush to buy food from Manong before his stock runs out. You simply cannot beat that value! I computed that if I stick to Manong's lunches every weekday and stick to the cheapest transportation, I'll only be spending 112 pesos a day, 560 pesos a week, and 2240 pesos a month. Wow! (Of course, you must remember I don't chip in for the household expenses yet.)
Maraming salamat, Manong. (I really must remember to ask what his real name is.)
