Kind Netizen Helps Newly-Released Inmate Who Found Himself Without Any Money
A kind netizen has earned praise and admiration online for extending a helping hand to a newly released inmate who found himself without any money.
Jo Jo, a Facebook user, shared the photo of his encounter with a penniless ex-convict riding an e-jeep. The post immediately spread like wildfire online and garnered various reactions from the netizens.
Jojo’s story begins with a chance encounter with an ex-convict riding a modern jeepney. The newly released inmate politely asked the driver if he could stand since he didn’t have any money to pay the fare.
However, the driver and conductor chimed in, insisting that he should pay even if he stood. Jojo handed him cash for his fare and the passenger presented a document indicating his recent release from prison, after spending nearly 20 years in prison.
What made the situation even more disheartening was that the ex-convict had no money for the fare, and his family had not come to pick him up.
The kind netizen and his colleague provided the newly released inmate with the funds needed to complete his journey. His act of kindness was not just a random act but a reflection of the values instilled in him by his grandmother.

Here is the full post:
“Just want to share this. Diko kilala si tatay pero wala siyang pamasahe. Nakiusap if pwede tumayo since wala siye pera diko maintindihan din pinakita niya ung folder may sinasabi siya. So ung driver at kondoktor nagsabi na pano sila kung di babayaran even though nakatayo naman si tatay so inabot ko nalang cash ko pambayad. Sabay sabi niya na di kasi siya sinundo ng pamilya niya dun ko nalaman na ang pinakikita niya ay parang papel na nakalaya na siya today galing kulungan for almost 20 years, Imagine di ka manlang nasundo ng family mo tapos ni pamasahe wala ka. So binigay ko na sukli para makaabot siya ng baklaran and binigyan din siya ng kawork ko.
I just realized na minsan wala din naman ako, and right now di din madami pera ko pero still gusto ko siya tulungan dami tao sa ejeep pero wala sila paki. Nakakalungkot.
LETS ALL BE KIND wala naman bayad maging mabuti sa kapwa”
