Facebook user Hillary Lee Aguada recently shared a photo of a Korean student eating a meal with a homeless elderly woman at a KFC store in Baguio City.
Aguada related in her post accompanying the photo:
It was really cold and raining here in Baguio City. I just came home from work and my roommate asked if we could go out and eat dinner.
We walked along Session Road to find the perfect spot to eat and decided to just eat at KFC Upper Session Road.
A man was in front of me and was already finished ordering when I noticed an old woman in ragged and layered clothes, and slippers that looked really thin and worn out.
The woman was just standing there and a cashier prompted her to place her order. I didn’t know the cashier’s purpose but she seemed to know that the old woman was homeless. The old woman placed her order, maybe in hopes that the cashier would be kind enough to just give her the food for free (I dunno) The cashier said, “100 pesos po.”
Upon hearing this, the guy in front of me, who had finished ordering his food, was also observing and probably listening to the conversation of the old woman and the cashier. He grabbed his wallet and handed a PHP500 bill to the cashier and paid for the old lady’s meal.
I tapped the man’s shoulder and I was just so blessed and overwhelmed by what he did, I told him “May God bless you even more Kuya!” He was actually a Korean and he smiled from ear to ear.
And it didn’t end there. He actually sat with the old lady while having their dinner.
It was later discovered that the good-hearted Korean was Jeong Tae Gu, a student at the University of Baguio. (with a report from Umagang Kay Ganda)
