Photos of an elderly man selling snacks by the roadside of United San Pedro have gone viral.
The original Facebook post by Francis Guerrero Edralin features the netizen’s encounter with this snack vendor who’s been selling traditional Filipino snacks for a long time.
According to the post, he didn’t much time to talk to the elderly seller because he was carrying many snacks to sell. He did, however, find out a few details of his long life. Edralin, for instance, asked the elderly man for his age and found out he was 85 years old.
Prying further, he asked a rough estimate of how much the vendor makes in a day. He said that he makes around P 330. Edralin revealed that he bought some snacks from the older gentleman, and has splurged quite a bit of money because he had just received his pay. He even let the vendor keep the change and informed everyone where he can be spotted.
Edralin then urged his fellow netizens to purchase some snacks from the vendor whenever chance they get, even if it is just one snack. He admits having a soft spot for the elderly and was teary-eyed after the encounter.
Edralin felt very happy because he saw the elderly vendor leave with a smile on his face.
