MANILA -- A hardworking Filipino kid who was out in the streets to sell salt bread (pandesal) for some money was robbed by an unidentified villain and took away all his profit for that day.
The amateur Facebook video was uploaded originally by Christopher Pacheco which instantly pooled the attention of the netizens because of what the suspect did is heartless.
According to the flow of the story on the comment section, the kid lives in Reform 168, Deparo, Caloocan. One commentor adds, "Napakasipag pa naman nang batang yan. Doble kayod po talaga sya" (this kid is very diligent and he works as twice as he could.) He is a 6th grader.
The victim sells "pandesal" around the area. The incident happened in Deparo near a convenient store where he was allegedly robbed by a guy who was yet to be identified. His money worth P200 or roughly $5 was taken and left him in shock state.
His whole body was trembling while he was being comforted by the people in the area who helped him. Someone gave him water and others compensated the stolen money.
