OF THE WEEK

Business Behind Bars
It is a store all
right, but not the usual sari-sari (variety) store we find at
street corners in the Philippines. This one is operated by inmates of the
Baguio City Jail, offering buko (young coconut) juice for P10
($0.19, at P53.45 to US$1) a cup. It is an effort to augment the limited
food subsidy given to the inmates. One wonders, however, if this person
earns at all from his business, considering that his 600 inmates at Baguio
City Jail are as cash-strapped as he is, if not even more.
