Remember the story we shared about the photo below? It was about the Police Officer, who got inspired by an elder woman hauling trash. Let me share a photo to jog your memory:
Yes, he is the same man who feeds the stray dogs. In return, the dogs love him, too.
While it is innate for him to be generous and courageous, he thought of creating another project that will help the hardworking women.
“Pugay Kay Nanay” Project
Our good vibes for today is courtesy of Police Officer Jamie Osit Santos. I am glad that I was able to interview the man behind this uplifting project (among others). His ultimate reason for this project is to make them happy. He hopes that through this project, they will feel appreciated and loved.
“Itong project na ito means, sa lahat ng aking madadaanan kalsada, hahanap po ako ng mga babaeng nagtatrabaho, nagtitiyaga maski trabahong lalaki ang ginagawa at mag aabot po ako ng kaunting tulong upang sila ay sumaya,” he mentioned.
Ideally, he’s going to look for hardworking“nanays” in Manila and the provinces. In fact, the first Nanay to receive goods was from Bicol.
Furthermore, he asked for his friend’s help to find her, so he can send goods and surprise her.
“Ito po un pinadalhan ko sa bgy buyo catanduanes bicol. Pinahanap ko naman po ito sa kaibigan ko doon at sinorpresa po namin siya. Mag isa lang siya sa kubo kasama ang apo nagtitinda tinda ng kahit na ano para may pang tawid gutom.”
“Sa aking mga mapupuntahan o madadaanan lugar po dito naman sa metro manila maghahanap pa din po ako ng babaeng nagsusumikap sa buhay,” Santos said.
