As the dusk of the life slowly slowly approaches, we get to see life in a more broader view. Once you were able to raise your kids and they managed to build their own family, you are back to square one, albeit more knowledgeable and stronger than you were 40 or 50 years ago.
By then, you are expected to be taking rest and have the time of your life already, as your kids you once taken care of are already capable enough to take over and take care of you know instead.
But on some cases, its just don’t end up like that.
A story from a Facebook post broke a lot of hearts online as she posted the daily struggle of an old man who chooses to still work with his pedicab despite of his weak body, because of being left with no choice.
He has no one to support his wife and himself.
On a post from Joana Karyl Alforte Arce, what the man told her upon asking why he stilll works.
“Kaya ko naman kaso mabagal lang kasi malakas ang hangin’, ‘Dami nga nag rereklamo minsan kasi mabagal daw pero kailangan ko kasi wala ako pambili ng bigas.”
Joana was not able to provide the old man's information but under her post was a comment revealing the pedicab driver’s identity.
He is Fernando Villagonza, 75 years old and drives around the streets of some small town in Cavite.
Aside from the calls of the netizens to give Lolo Fernando some patience when they are riding his pedicab, they were also able to raise attention enough to fund him some groceries that made the old man genuinely happy.
Why does Lolo Fernando and his wife live alone and where are their kids? Apparently, none of those questions were answered. Have you already encountered such situation melted your heart so much? Share us in the comment section about that fateful moment!
