Muntinlupa City has this "Bring Your Own Bayong/Bag" (BYOB) policy where the local government encourages people to bring their own shopping bags. No establishment is to issue plastic bags or styrofoam packaging to its customers. In lieu of the plastic bags, paper bags are given. So, Muntinlupa citizens carry with them paper bags. They remind me of American grocers minus the french bread protruding. It has been going on for two months now.
On my way to school, a man's paper bag tore, revealing the fruits he had bought. All fruits found their way to the jeepney's floor.
" 'Yan ang mahirap sa papel," the lady passenger beside the guy said.
The lady passenger then scavenged her bag for any plastic bag while the man picked the fruits from the floor. "Ay, wala pala akong plastic," the lady exclaimed.
As if it was the most natural thing, another lady seated near the guy offered her plastic bag.
The man was hesitant to accept although he was touched by the kind gesture of the woman.
"Sige na. Gamitin mo na, " kind woman said.
