The 21-year-old supermarket sales clerk who was arrested for stealing a can of corned beef worth P31.50 remains behind bars a week after he confessed to the crime. ADVERTISEMENTPressed for more details, Tanglao pleaded ignorance, saying he and his mother were not exactly on speaking terms due to some misunderstanding. All I’m saying is I was just really hungry [that day] and I didn’t have money,” he said. He went to the supermarket warehouse and took the can of corned beef. Look, the money spent on photocopying the documents needed to file the case in court is more expensive than the price of the corned beef,” he said.
