03 Oct Japanese Woman Gives Out Thousands Of Pesos @ Cogon Market
Mga higala! A Japanese woman gave out money varying from P4,000 to as much as P27,000, to random people at the Cogon Public Market of Cagayan de Oro City, yesterday, October 2. A mob then gathered around her and she had to be escorted by barangay officials and cops, in order to ease the increasing commotion.
Based on a report from Inquirer.Net, the said woman was identified as Mariko Tsuchioka, 51, a resident of Hiroshima, Japan. And, according to one of those who received her “gift”, the Japanese woman told them that she was giving away her own money as a form of ‘apology’ for the Japanese acts against Filipinos during World War II.
Tsuchioka also added that her grandfather served in the Armed Forces of the Empire of Japan and saw action in the Philippines during the war over 70 years ago.
