A 72-year-old jeepney driver broke down in tears after learning that his name was not included in the list of beneficiaries for government aid. At his age, he continues to work tirelessly just to survive, but the rising cost of fuel and daily expenses has made life even more difficult for him.
Overwhelmed with frustration and desperation, the elderly driver expressed how painful it was to feel overlooked in a time when he needed help the most. Like many drivers, he depends solely on his daily earnings, and without assistance, even sustaining his livelihood has become a struggle. The lack of support has left him feeling helpless, with no one to turn to and no resources left to rely on.
Through his emotional plea, he called on the government for compassion and immediate action, hoping that his situation and the struggles of others like him would finally be heard and addressed.
Tatay : "Mister President, parang awa. Nakakaiyak lang po, wala na po kaming makapitan, wala nang tumutulong wala nang mautangan. Sana maaksyunan ng gobyerno yung problema namin ngayon makakuha man lang kami ng ayuda parang awa nyo na po. Wala na po talaga kami, sana makakuha man lang kami kahit pangkrudo man lang para makahanapbuhay"
