Tulad na lamang ng nakaka-inspire na kwento ng Taho vendor sa Bacolod na talaga namang nagmulat sa isipan ng marami sa social media. Imbes na maging reklamador dahil sa hirap ng buhay, pilit na nagsasakripisyo ang matanda sa kabila ng hirap at katandaan.
Basahin ang buong kwento:
"I would like to share this photo with you today.
It was past 3PM. I was doing errands this regular afternoon under drizzling Bacolod sky when a man caught my attention.
Amidst the monotony of people and cars, a Taho vendor fell asleep almost unnoticeably on this busy road. The plan was just to cross the street, but then I approached him. I was not sure at first if he was indeed asleep, so I said, "May ara pa?", checking his Taho. No response. The man was indeed sleeping. Again, I said "Bakal ko taho." I just had lunch but then I'm up for this treat! After saying 'bakal', I woke him up.
He looked up startled with an embarrassed smile. For a 20pesos worth sweet cup, I gave a 50. I smiled and walked away hearing Tatay say, "Salamat, mam. Thank you, Lord."
If you are reading this right now, don't you dare say that people are poor because they are tamaran or because they cannot manage their expenses well. Some are just victims of circumstances.
For those who label people like me as Reklamador—well, I have so much to be grateful for in my life; but I will continue to be a Reklamador to fight for people like Tatay.
God bless you, tay."
