Due to enhanced community lockdown, travel ban was also imposed immediately by the government, making the commuters, travellers and people are yet to come home stranded from where they were currently in. Having no chance of seeing even one public vehicle to drive them back, many have decided to bravely walk all the way just to see their family again.
The news have featured a lot of stories about it already and you can no deny that every time you see one, it still shatters you.
Just like this post from Joven Opeña on his Facebook account, a father who decided to travel from Bulacan to Bicol just to see his hospitalized son.
It took him days to arrive but Joven said he was lucky enough to score several rides that helped his journey.
Joven, together with his hope to see his son again did not give up and kept moving forward.
His heartbreaking letter for his son made the netizens cry and sympathize with Joven's grief.
“Anak, labanan mo ang sakit mo, pauwi na si Papa.
Naglalakad na si Papa mula Bulacan papuntang Naga. Hintayin mo si Papa. Kahit abutin ako ng isang linggo kakalakad, hintayin mo ako.
July 2018, na-diagnose ang anak ko ng intussusception ascending colon. Hindi ko lubos maintindihan pero ang sabi, kailangan siya lagyan ng colostomy bag. Pero dahil hirap kami bumili nu'n, gumawa ang asawa ko ng DIY colo bag.
Nitong January, na-admit 'yung anak ko dahil sa gastroentritis. Nakalabas din kami ng ospital pero nitong March 16, kinailangan naming bumalik para maoperahan siya ulit. 'Yun nga lang, sa Bulacan po kasi ako nagtatrabaho.
Pero wala na po akong masakyan. Eh kailangan kong makita ang anak ko na nasa ospital, naisip ko po na lakarin na lang. Malayo, pero sigurado akong makikita ko ang anak ko.
Buti na lang po may mga mabubuting tao na tumulong po sa akin. May truck na nagsakay sa akin papuntang Delpan. Habang naglalakad po ako papuntang Pasay, may nagmagandang loob po na rider na ihahatid niya raw po ako. Hindi ko siya kilala, hindi ko siya kaano-ano pero handa siyang tumulong. Hindi po naging madali 'yung biyahe. May ilang beses pong muntikan sumemplang 'yung motor. Pero kahit delikado, pinilit po niya na mahatid ako. Walang hanggang pasasalamat po.
Pero sa boundary po ng Quezon at Bicol, hindi na po kami pinayagang makalusot. Akala ko po hindi na ako makakarating ng Bicol, pero may plano pa po ang Panginoon. May pamilya po sa boundary na tumulong sa akin. Hinatid po nila ako hanggang BMC Naga sa tulong na rin po ng mga sundalo.
'Nak, andito na si Papa. Hindi pa lang ako makalapit. 14 days pa. Pakatatag ka, 'Nak. Mahal ka namin."
