Free massage

MASSAGE. A woman of about 50 was seen giving free herbal oil massage to Carbon market goers who wished to be massaged. The "patient" only had to sit on a plastic stool as the woman worked on her or him. Many availed themselves of her free service.

LIKE OTHERS. Our Ear informer said the woman kept saying "libre ning masahe ko." But her companion, also about her age, made it clear that her massaging companion whom she called "Agaw" did not accept payment. "Pero kadtong ganahan mopahalipay ni Agaw, naay box tapad niya." The box, said our Ear informer, was filled with "donations."
