Pinay mothers in law? A friend of mine's wife was in hospital back in the late 1990's north of Manila. She had just given birth. My mate told the doctor his mother-in-law would bring the cash in to the hospital to cover the bills later that day. A new child in the family, everyone was happy, right! He gave his mum-in-law the cash and off she went to the hospital to see her newborn grandchild she never got there!
She turned up shamefacedly a few days later. She had decided to double the hospital money so she would have cash for the medical bill AND herself so she had dropped into a mah-jong game..........................
