Valentine’s is not just about sharing the love with your special someone. Sometimes, it could just be sharing the love with a stranger.
This story was shared on Facebook by Enitx’s Captured Moment, and is set in Madrigal Avenue in Alabang, just across Molito. According to the poster:
Kanina po sa may Madrigal Avenue corner Alabang-Zapote Road sa Alabang, between ATC (Alabang Town Center) at Molito Mall, may isang lalaki nagtitinda sa kalye. Binigyan po ng pera ng isa babae nasa kotse, at kinausap niya yung lalaki tungkol sa namamaga niyang tuhod.
(A while ago, at Madrigal Avenue corner Alabang-Zapote Road in Alabang, between ATC and Molito Mall, a man was selling something along the road. A woman in a car gave him some money, and asked about his swollen leg.)
It wasn’t specified what the man was selling, or what his condition was, but that didn’t stop the others from helping out, too.
At after po nun, ang dami po nagbigay ng pera sa kanya habang naka-stoplight pa sa kalye. Pati po kami ng anak ko nagbigay sa kanya. Hindi pa nga niya na-expect na madami kami
magbibigay. Halos sunod-sunod sa kalye na nasa kotse nagbigay sa kanya. Nagulat nga siya kasi nagbigay din kami. “Para sa akin ba yan?”, sabi niya habang nagbigay ako ng P100 as abuloy.Â(After that, a lot of people gave him money while the stoplight was still red. Even my child and I gave him some money. He didn’t expect so many people to give him. Almost all the cars on the road gave him. He asked, “Is that for me?” when I handed him P100.)
The poster encouraged people to share their blessings the next time they see this man, and that she admired him for still working even with his leg condition.
Faith in humanity restored.
