Between a Rock and a Hard Place

"We are extending the said amount to you as a financial asistance. I cannot go beyound what was being given to you as an act of goodwill. Sir,please consider that the PSG escort vehicle sustained damages which would entail govt expenses. Hindi ka na nila hahabulin dito.

That was Atty. Noy Santiago replying to my appeal that they consider offering more than the Php15,000 they initially referred to as "assistance" for the Php45,000 worth of damages to the car. I don't know how to reply to this. :-(
