Amid the COVID-19 outbreak and the struggles it brings, especially the enhance community quarantine that lead to thousands of unemployment rate, causing a lot of Filipinos family starve in hunger, we can not deny that some way, somehow, there is still a kindling light of hope we see on others who tirelessly do their best to spread positivity using their good deeds.
And sometimes, it even came from someone who we did not expect all, for the mere reason that he, himself, does not have a lot of things to share, but still decides to give.
Elizabeth Baguina, a vegetable store owner and a resident from barangay Dassun, Solana made a huge decision to help his neighbors who have nothing to eat at all.
Elizabeth was one of the eligible residents that qualified under DSWD's criteria for their 5-8k social amelioration program.
But then, she returned all the money she recieved to their barangay chairwoman, Hon. Conchita L. Mabborang, with a promise to make sure that this money should be used food pack donations.
"Dearest Madam Kapitana,
"Ako po si Elizabeth A. Buguina na nakatira sa Dassun, Solana, Cagayan, Zone 6. Isa po ako sa makakatanggap ng tulong ng gobyerno. Ang aking decision ay ibigay niyo po sa MAS HIGIT NA NAGANGAILANGANG MAMAMAYAN. Maraming salamat nalang po sa inyong lahat.
"Signed, Elizabeth A. Buguina, witnessed by kagawad Dominador Cagurungan, Purok leader." Her letter wrote.
Meanwhile, the Facebook page of Brgy. Dasun, Solan Cagayan posted her story and the netizen's reaction are purely genuine and overwhelming.
Here are some replies:
"We salute you po. Sa goodheart and kindness mo po. May God bless you always."
