This is a Filipino armored car. A block on wheels. In a regular day, one would see dozens of these as they drove throughout the city. I asked my dad why this was, and he said that this is a cash society. And he is right. The only person I have seen using a credit card was my stepmom. All of the natives, as far as I know, use cash. And all of the cash is worn. I haven't seen a fresh, crisp bill, or even something close to it. So one can imagine these trucks stuffed full with wrinkly 1000, 500, 100 peso bills.
