Banene and Batotoy in Butuan

Banene and Batotoy were on holiday in Butuan. On the last afternoon, the whole family was looking around the gift shops for presents to take back to their friends and relatives. Dad had given each of the twins 1,000 pesos to spend.

Both Banene and Batotoy found many gifts they wanted to take home to give their friends. In the end, Banene found her items cost 834 pesos, and Batotoy found his items cost 655 pesos.
