THE SHOE-SHINE BOYS

Pagakpak Preferred by customers on budget or in-a-hurry or both. A pair costs only 15 centavos. The customer takes seat, rests one foot on the shoe-rest, the other on your partners if you are working with one. Open your box, get the cardboards out and place them on both sides of the customers foot to protect his socks from the shoe polish (mandatory if socks are white). Use your scuba to remove dust from the shoes. Wash shoes with either langking or jubos( kal for white shoes only). Langking, black only. Pour clean water into a container (the lid of the shoe-polish box is commonly used). Dip toothbrush in water and rub to langking. Apply to all the shoe surfaces then wipe shoes dry. Jubos/Kal, use water if right-color jubos is not available. Pour jubos into a container (the lid of the shoe-polish box is commonly used). Or dip toothbrush in bottle containing jubos. Apply to all the shoe surfaces then wipe shoes dry. Wrap your index and middle fingers together with cotton cloth, and evenly spread polish on its surface. Apply shoe polish evenly. For white shoes, use neutral color, for purple, nilumboy, mix black and red. Wait a few seconds until polish is dry. Use scuba to brush shoes until a glow is visible. Then apply the finishing-touch, the woolen blanket. Hold on both sides and rub to the shoe surfaces until brand-new gloss shows. Hit the back of your shoe-box with scuba, producing the 15 centavos sound, tak tata ta tak, tak tak! Loud enough to wake customer up from his slumber. Customer stands up, dips in his pocket for 15 centavos and there goes a happy chap!
