Pero, pano ba lavandera ngayon? Do they do handwash, or wash clothes via washing machine? Narinig ko kasi yung neighbor namin minsan na "ako na lang maglalaba sa washing machine. Ano yan, isasampay na lang nya yung nilabhan, at nakaupo, at mag-titext buong maghapon?"

Ha ha. May katuwiran nga naman. Tapos singil ata, nasa P500, may lunch at snacks pa.
I want my clothes handwashed. Kung washing machine, we won't hire a labandera anymore.

The person doing our laundry includes breakfast, lunch and 2 merienda. She brings her daughter along so that's for 2 people. But she's not really a labandera. She used to be the caretaker of our old neighbor and she is filling in until we find a labandera. Nahihiya na ko kasi she mentioned that at home she uses a washing machine.
