00:00 I'm so thankful for his help.

00:02 This is an order.

00:04 I hope you can help me.

00:08 An old man with a disability or PWD

00:12 can't stop crying while the readers are beside him.

00:17 This is the 50 pesos I have.

00:21 Next is the dormant.

00:24 The old man was scammed.

00:26 He was fooled by a so-called buyer of books.

00:30 On the streets of Manila,

00:38 every day, a senior citizen is walking around the liquor store.

00:43 He walks almost 5 kilometers every day

00:53 to finish the liquor store.

00:55 My children and I were the first to be affected by the heat.

01:00 But aside from the dangers he faces on the streets,

01:07 there are also some cases where he is fooled by some customers.

01:11 I didn't notice the change.

01:14 I was really confused.

01:17 I was really tired.

01:20 There are only a few of them among our old countrymen

01:25 who are still looking for a job despite their age.

01:27 But there are some who are still being fooled by their condition.

01:47 Here in Montalban, Rizal, we found an old man

01:51 who went viral on social media

01:53 while crying beside his readers.

01:56 I have the 20 pesos.

01:59 I can't accept anything.

02:02 I'm really afraid of him.

02:04 I'm an older person.

02:06 I hope you can help me.

02:10 He is 65 years old, Lolo Reynaldo.

02:15 According to Lolo Reynaldo,

02:17 a buyer ordered from them online

02:19 150 pieces of books

02:21 that are worth 20,000 pesos.

02:24 Someone called us

02:27 and said that they will bring it to other countries.

02:29 We were so happy.

02:31 We were really moved.

02:33 Because it's rare for them to receive this many orders.

02:38 Lolo Reynaldo also borrowed

02:40 5,000 pesos to buy materials.

02:45 I have already paid 50 pesos.

02:48 Next is the dormant.

02:52 But after they finished the 150 pieces of books,

02:56 the buyer suddenly called the number

03:01 and they stopped answering their calls and messages.

03:05 After I got out of the house, the buyer suddenly called.

03:08 It hurts.

03:10 You have to endure everything

03:12 and then you will be cancelled.

03:14 The dormant.

03:15 To make up for the loss,

03:17 they posted the books on social media

03:19 and they might run out.

03:22 This is the order that I didn't receive last time.

03:26 41.

03:28 While Lolo Reynaldo is showing us

03:31 the books that he didn't buy,

03:33 an online buyer called his son

03:36 and he wants to order 37 pieces of books.

03:40 Ma'am, where are you ordering?

03:43 I have a mandalorian.

03:44 Where did you meet?

03:46 Just on Facebook.

03:48 That's why Lolo Reynaldo was able to prepare the received orders.

03:53 This is the order that I received.

03:56 37 pieces.

03:57 Thank you very much for ordering.

03:59 This is the value of 5 big books.

04:04 I also earned 1.5.

04:07 It's good that he has a good heart

04:10 that he can see his calls on social media

04:13 and he is slowly buying his books.

04:17 But this is not the first time that Lolo Reynaldo was fooled.

04:21 Just last year,

04:24 a buyer also cancelled an order

04:26 that is worth 10,000 pesos.

04:29 Again and again, I just left it.

04:32 I was thinking why they did that to me.

04:36 I said, "It's up to God."

04:38 It's a big thing for his family to earn money

04:44 because this is what they expect every day.

04:48 This is what Lolo Reynaldo is hoping for

04:51 to buy his medicine for his cough

04:53 that he often gets when he is making a book.

04:57 The book, ma'am, is very, very good.

05:00 When I make it,

05:02 my heart hurts, my lungs hurt,

05:06 my brain hurts.

05:07 I make it, I spray it

05:09 so that I can feel better.

05:12 But there is a deeper reason

05:16 why he is trying to find a job

05:18 despite his age and age.

05:21 My father has a son who will graduate,

05:23 which is me.

05:24 That's why he is saving

05:26 so that we can graduate next year.

05:28 I am excited for my father

05:30 that we will graduate

05:32 so that all his hard work will be for us.

05:35 That's why it hurts for them

05:38 to repeatedly deceive their father.

05:41 When I woke up that night,

05:43 I felt pain.

05:44 The reading was cancelled

05:47 because we opened the food

05:49 but it was still in there.

05:51 Before we left,

05:54 we also gave Lolo Reynaldo a little help.

06:03 Another senior citizen

06:05 we met

06:06 never stopped looking for a job.

06:09 Every day,

06:14 in front of a school in Manila,

06:16 we see Lolo Francisco Celada,

06:19 69 years old.

06:20 He carries a carton

06:22 that has a drink container.

06:25 He is patient in enduring

06:27 the heat and danger on the road.

06:29 I used to sell in the school

06:34 before I was 16 years old.

06:36 I really did my best

06:37 to return to the school.

06:39 After almost 5 years of selling,

06:43 Lolo Francisco was recognized

06:45 by the students

06:46 and it became a big help

06:48 for him to have a regular income.

06:50 If we pay for their sales,

06:53 it will help them earn

06:55 and provide for their daily expenses.
