Paper Bill Savings Inside Bamboo Alkansiya Goes In Vain, Find Out Why
The paper bill savings of a netizen inside a bamboo ‘alkansiya’ goes in vain after something unexpected happened to his money.
Most Filipino people used to keep their hard-earned money inside the piggy banks or bamboo alkansiya as savings.
The popular quotation “Pag may isinuksok, may madudukot” (If you save something, you have something to get) is already at the heart of Filipinos.
Unfortunately, one netizen got disappointed after finding out that his savings placed inside a bamboo alkansiya was eaten by termites.
Recently, the Facebook page “Walwal” has uploaded the photos of paper bills destroyed by termites inside of a bamboo alkansiya .
The alkansiya was filled mostly with P50, P100, and several P1, 000 bills, which can be considered a huge amount of cash.
The photos have a caption of:
“Huwag maglagay ng Perang Papel sa Bamboo Alkansya, Coins lang para di anayin ❗️
Share to save a life ❤️”
The social media users have also shared their idea on how to exchange damaged money to Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).
Vee Ferrer: pwede pa papalitan yan sa bank basta visible parin at hindi naanay yung part ng serial number ? ganyan nangyari dun sa pera ng lolo namin, inanay lahat.. tinago nya sa ilalim ng lupa lahat ng pera nya na nakabalot sa karton, tapos dinaganan nya yung lupa ng drum para walang makakuha sa pera nya kapag namatay sya.. nalaman nalang nila sa bank na nilabas pala nya lahat ng pera nya so yun hanap dito, hanap dyan.. nung natagpuan nila inanay na pati yung karton di na tuloy napakinabangan yung karamihan sa pera nyang naanay yung serial number “
Marvin Sison: “Pde pa papalit yan hangga’t buo pa ung golden seal sa right side ayon sa tatay ko na nagtatrabaho sa bangko for the last 20 years check mo na lang kung magkano pde mo masalba dyan”
Gaily Reyes: “D po tlga kz dpat nag lalagay ng papel sa bamboo ng walang plastic o straw. Ganyan po lagi gamit ko sinusunog ko lng sa taas pra masarado minsan kn walang platic straw po. Pinapasok sa loob at sunugin din magkabilang buTas pra masarado. Sayang po ung ipon kn magkakaganyan lng ung pera”
Genie Reyes-Magsombol: “ Pwede po yan papalitan sa Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, magdala ka din ng clean bond papers and stapler and glue kasi ididikit yan sa bond paper, ganun kasi procedure pag pinapalitan mga nasirang pera. Pero dun mo nalang gawin kasi ang di ko kabisado is if pano ayos if ididikit sa bond paper.”
Mischel Miguel Pajarillo: “As far as I know.. Pede nyo po dalin yan sa BSP pra ipapalit, kukunin po nila yan at pplitan ng bago.. Ninong ko po kc former supervisor ng BSP sa Cash Dept. So kapag may sunog or sira sira na papel na pera pinapalitan po nila..”
