“ANYONE INTERESTED TO BUY CHICHARON CAME FROM PAMPANGA, PLEASE MESSAGE SIR MANUEL FELIPE – (0936) 621 0320
This hardworking man caught my attention as I saw him wearing a BPO company lace while carrying a bag full of chicharons. When I got the chance to talk to him while were going out of the train, I asked him if he is selling the chicharon kasi gusto ko sana bumili dahil favorite to ni mama, then he explained that meron ng nakareserve bawat chicharon sa mga ka-officemates niya. We talked a bit more as he seems to look at me as I am interested in what his selling.
He told me that his day off is every Mon and Tues and can arrange a meet-up of order for chicharon every Tuesday night at MRT Taft station.
I admire him as he works at a BPO company full time while selling chicharon as his sideline + imagine carrying a bag full of chicharon from Pampanga to Pasay! This kind of man inspires me so much that even though life is so hard, people like him still find a way to survive and live a happy life. Salute to you Sir Manny”
