Calbayog City, Samar - A child that sold vegetables to buy a smartphone to be used for online classes, went viral on social media.
One kid sells vegetables in Calbayog City to buy a smartphone that she will use in an online class during the opening of class on August 24.
Anrol Orecul who works at a mall in Calbayog noticed this child while posting on Facebook.
"It's like a kid selling vegetables to buy a cellphone in what seems to be an online class. I know how much you worked, how much would it cost for 40 pesos to come back if he could buy it?" - FB post by Anrol Orecul
In this post, it softened the heart of a netizen named Jay-r Cano, 29.
Today, June 24th, Cano finds Anrol's FB post in a hurry to go to the mall to find the child.
"I went there. I asked her, then she honestly told me that she wanted to buy a cellphone for her online class (And memories came back when I was in elementary then I was amazed for the reason that she was studying, mixed emotions somehow) "- declares Cano.
According to Cano, when he was young, their lives were still praiseworthy as they were related to the child's situation.
"Honestly when we are talking I have only 500 pesos in my wallet because I just want to buy his item worth 500 pesos."
"I didn't think I would be able to spend that much because I just started my business this January 2020 and it's still covid, so I'm one of the affected ones."
"Her purpose really touched me, and I'm not teaching her to be materialistic. But again the purpose was for her education."
"So I said to the child here (I was watching over the sales lady of the cp store). I went to PNB to withdraw then I bought her the new cellphone"
Cano still kept his contact number on the kid's new cellphone to see if she still needed something to text or call him.
Even with the mask on, the youngster's eyes can see the joy of having a new cellphone available for online class. (Photos via Anrol Orecul)
