Some cultures find the concept of 'blood money' acceptable.
I didn't realise that the Philippines was one of them though

I actually mentioned the incident on here a few years ago and was at a party last Christmas with the guy himself. I have a friend who was riding a bike from Gensan-Davao or Davao-Gensan, I cant remember if he was coming or going. I think he couldn't remember if he was coming or going either, as I have been told he was under the influence.Originally Posted by Terpe

Anyway, he hit an old guy - I think the gent was 72? The guy died, my friend was advised by the police who arrived, to book himself into hospital for a few days to give the dust time to settle or he would be arrested, as that's what the crowd who gathered at the scene were baying for. He spent a few days in hospital with minor wounds and ended up paying the old guy's family the equivalent of a few grand sterling, blood money.
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
