Mother collects plastic bottles from QC precinct with kids, hopes to earn P100 for dinner


A mother was spotted collecting plastic bottles around the President Corazon Aquino Elementary School in Quezon City during the midterm elections on Monday.

Emily Bulabol, with the help of her two daughters, was able to collect over eight kilos of plastic bottles, which she planned to sell.

In an interview with GMA News' Cesar Apolinario, Emily said a kilo usually earns her P10.

"Marami na rin po 'yun, sobra sobra na 'yun. Tapos may benta rin po kasi kami kanina na mineral [water], at saka candy, biscuit," she said.

She said she hopes she'll earn about P100 from the plastic bottles so they can buy dinner on the way home.

Emily and her daughters have been in the precinct since past 6 a.m. They paused from collecting trash in order to line up and cast their vote.

As of 1 p.m., more than 15,000 voted at the President Corazon Aquino Elementary School. —JCB, GMA News
