I don’t mind having a half-naked person serving me a coconut “juice drink” who pays taxes and works hard for everything he earns under the searing heat of a mid-day sun amidst the smoke belching buses and dyipnis.
Compared to those people doing nothing (and yet, have almost everything) wearing expensive “Barong Tagalogs” sitting in a luxurious airconditioned government offices indirectly paid by this half-naked coconut vendor, I’d rather have a nice simple drink of coco juice from an honest hard-working person rather than have a sumptuous meal in an exclusive five star hotel offered by a person who uses the taxpayer’s money for their own personal gain!
Can’t get fresher than this. What is not to like? Where is the risk?
How much for a coconut in Manila?

Exactly… Some of those who are bourgeois or feeling “elitist” shy away from this kind of street food. I find it refreshing and really don’t care whoever prepared it. It’s only about $0.25 a piece. 🙂

Not sure I would drink his product. Would want to interact with him first and see how he does things.

It’s actually clean because he will not touch the area where the juice will come out. But you have to make sure that it doesn’t pass beneath his underarm… Hahaha!
