Instead of buying Christmas gifts from big companies who want profit, profit and even more profit, why not support small businesses instead?
Facebook user Henry Ngan shared photos of Tatay Romanito Carlos, a street vendor in Manila who uses his hands to create intricately wonderful display objects made from wire and metal.
His creations are clearly made with love, care and lots of skill! The details are amazing!
Tatay Romanito’s jeepney makes a nice gift for balikbayans and foreign guests.
The prices range from PHP2,000 for a small motorbike to PHP7,000 for a big jeepney. Similar items online cost way more.
Ngan said that Tatay Romacito may be found at M.Hizon St., Sta. Cruz Manila, Bambang. People from the area can help you find him if needed.
Ngan’s post has gone viral on Facebook. As of writing, it has earned more than 100,000 likes and 150,000 shares.
