Big Joe

THE EAR - The Freeman
July 24, 2015 | 10:00am

BIG JOE. On his days off and non-working holidays Big Joe (real name withheld upon request) is seen working as checker in a big warehouse in Cebu. Big Joe, called that by co-workers because he's big, is actually a legit police officer trying to earn extra income to be able to meet the schooling expenses of his three children, two in college and one in high school, all of them in private school.

CASHIER. Big Joe's wife works as cashier in a supermarket but her income alone and that of her cop husband are not enough to keep the family going well. The couple are both members of a Catholic charismatic community in the city.
