Recently, John Andrey Regala Manalansan, a Facebook user, shared his experience of being awakened by a man soliciting money on the bus. The post quickly went viral and drew various reactions from netizens.
Manalansan explained that he was on his usual trip home and had fallen asleep due to heavy traffic. Like many tired commuters, resting during the ride had become part of his routine.

The passenger gets upset for not simply being asked for help, but the manner and timing of the interruption. He shared that he often encounters people asking for money on buses and notices that many of them use the same lines and stories.
While he understands that some people truly need help, repeated encounters with similar scripts have made him more cautious and doubtful.
