The Intern

Every Friday, we have a luncheon with all the lawyers in the firm. This Friday [May 4], the conference room was jam-packed with partners, associates and we, interns, get to join them. We were eating our food (delicious, by the way!) and the conversation was flowing when out of the blue, I was put on the spot.

One partner said: “Sige nga, let’s test their knowledge. Joan, if the BSP buys silver, what is the tax rate?”

PAKSHET! After overhearing the murmurs of the associates beside me, I blurted out: “Sir, di po ba gold ung binibili ng BSP?”

Partner: “o, yan, alam nga nila eh.” PAKSHET talaga!

The rest of the meal was wonderful, plus, all the cute associates were there! ^_^
