    Jeez, they just wanted for people to think that it was a lot of money. They don't want to waste their time looking up a converter and converting 1.4 billion pesos into however much money. (see, i didn't waste my time converting it)

  • @teemuruskeepaa true ,, but if are not born with it you need to steel it or work for it and only capitalism will let you do that.
