Poor Old Man was Left Alone Starving Amid COVID-19 Lockdown
A 72-year-old man was left alone with himself as the pandemic disease (COVID-19) plunges the country into a crisis. Even the people around him were forced to go into survival state and prioritize their own families, help came in the form of a generous woman. Ma. Elena Borres Canillas the woman who posted Lolo Berning in a social media site helped him.
Holed up in a shack in Barangay Lawa-an, Roxas City, Capiz, Lolo Berning lives alone and makes do with the small allowance he gets from his daughter."'Yung tumutulong sa kanya na kapitbahay niya wala din work, sakto na lang sa family," she said. "Noong una ko siyang makita na may dalang Jollibee, sobrang saya niya at panay pasalamat sa akin," she added.
Netizens went pity to the old man and they wanted to know his address and help him. They learned that Lolo Berning's dream is to have a simple Bahay Kubo one day. That's when many people are urged to help the poor old man. Hopefully, LGU's in their town could help him and find a place for him in the meantime.
