Imburnal Girl Receives Help and Advice from Boss Toyo
IMBURNAL GIRL – The woman who went viral after being filmed climbing out of a drainage canal in Makati has now spoken up. Rosemarie Peligrino visited popular content creator and collector Boss Toyo to sell the cutter blade that accidentally fell into the drain—an item she now considers a memorable part of her journey.
Rosemarie explained that the blade is a tool she uses in her daily work collecting plastic and cardboard for recycling. When it fell into the canal, she went down to retrieve it, leading to the viral moment. She initially planned to sell it for ₱5,000, but Boss Toyo, touched by her story, bought it for ₱10,000 instead. As proof of its authenticity, Rosemarie signed the blade, and Boss Toyo plans to display it in his personal memorabilia collection. He also gifted two of Rosemarie’s companions with brand-new mobile phones.
During their conversation, Boss Toyo asked about rumors of Rosemarie having personal vices. She admitted that she does have one, but clarified that it’s not something she does every day. Although she didn’t specify what the vice was, Boss Toyo offered sincere advice, urging her to make positive changes while there’s still time. He reminded her about the ₱80,000 in financial assistance she received from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), which was intended to help her start a small business, like a sari-sari store.
Sharing his own past experiences with vices, Boss Toyo encouraged her to make better choices moving forward. He stressed that change is possible and that many people are now supporting her, hoping she uses this opportunity to rebuild her life.
Rosemarie became an online sensation after many mistakenly believed she lived in the storm drain. She clarified that it was all an accident—she was simply trying to retrieve her blade. What started as a misunderstanding became a chance for her to be seen, supported, and offered a fresh start—thanks to public attention and people like Boss Toyo.
