@Señor Jacinto, @spotter, Merry merry Christmas to you both. I hope I can rob a bank for the kids before Christmas eve but ms peachy is missing now!

1. 1-2 peso maximum unless they sing good.
2. I don't think there is any limitation however, its depends on you that how much you can afford to pay.
3. I ALWAYS ASK FOR A RECEIPT FOR EVERY PESO I GIVE.
4. Give as much as you can afford...It's not like they'll spend it on CDs.
5. When one shares their blessing to the less fortunate, there is no hard and fast rule as to the amount one has to give. It is all up to you. Sometimes, money is not always the best "giveaway". You can also give out food and toys. Whatever you decide, for as long as it comes from your heart, then that will be fine. Merry Christmas to you Maria P!
6. i give 5 pesos. when they come back the next night, i give them 4. then 3, then 2, then 1. then i throw a bucket of water at them so they won't come back anymore.
7. 5 but not to all everyday. Especially to those who come back everyday!
8. whatever you can afford. but not too much coz the same children will come back over and over. also it's better to give food (chips) than money.
9. I was once a child and I knew when the gift giver was sincere and happy parting with his money. So give these kids something to cheer for, anything you have in your pocket to make them enjoy the season. After all it is the intention and the spirit fo giving that counts. Keep these kids smiling and happy!
10. Depends on the person how much they want to give or can afford. For me it's P20 and during Christmas week it's P20 and a small candy cane per kid.. The problem is when you give too much you'll have every street kid for 2 km's at your door till past midnight. Give too little and you get a "thankyou tito kuriput" song. lol
11. if you gave them 1 peso the call you "barat" if you gave them like 5 pesos the will go to your house every night and tell to their friends that your place was giving huge amount of money .. so you will end up with lots of carolers every night..... yup i guess it's better to give chips or food...
12. 1 peso if they are in a group of 4, 5 pesos
