definitely not, maybe "fresh out of the boat" chinese descent...kind of rare that people here carry hundred dollar bills..or maybe he forgot to take his medications that he was so confused that he tried to bribe cops sa LOOB ng station during interrrogation ..wow...
Or better to think of it this way: anyone who tries to bribe his way out of this sort of situation is not a "true" Pinoy. A true Pinoy will not do that.
1) Its not only Pinoy who has the tendency to bribe. Other asians, americans and european do that for sure after all we have the english word for that BRIBE.
2) I just hope our own traffic enforcers is as true to their job as this manhattan police.
