Again, she got the same answer. There are no available P20s, P50s or P100s. This is a typical story of the wife of a politician nowadays. Every election time, part of the ritual is the hoarding of peso bills in small denominations. The small bills would eventually be handed out to voters as inangayan .
Newcomers are usually unprepared, they change bills only a few days before the election.
Having failed to do so, they are forced to utilize their P1,000s or P500s the best way they could. They are attached to the sample ballot and given to supporters shortly before election time. Given the number of candidates to be voted, the sample ballot will serve as a convenient guide to the voter. The giving of inangayan is an irony in itself. Pertinent election laws prohibit the giving, receiving, even the making or accepting of a promise to contribute money or anything of value as consideration of a vote or the vote of another.
