While I was in Davao, a young beggar followed me to the car asking for money. Around Christmas, beggars become much more bold and persistent in their begging and this one was no exception.
Doggedly he followed me. Finally I said, "Hindi po" which means "no!"
He kept following me.
"Hindi po!" I said with a little more force.
He gave me an injured look but kept persisting.
Finally, I got to vent some of my frustration and sarcasm on him, "what about Hindi po do you not understand?!"
He got the point that time.
