That's because Phil is not an "e-beggar", there is nothing "e-" about Phil, he's an actual beggar, no qualifier.
He's exactly the same guy you see begging in a bus station that always has 5 sob stories ready to fire so you give him money for his "fare", then he's there the next day with exactly the same story, and he's totally shameles about it.
Phil is exactly that, an actual Beggar, capital B.
He just happened by chance to stumble in front of a webcam 20 years ago before he had to beg for change in a parking lot after he got fired from his last job. It's also why he will never, ever, not for any reason, change, he's already living a beggar's best life.
