A PWD begged on the streets not for him, but for typhoon victims.

Mang Romy Menil, a person with disability, handed over coins and bills amounting to ₱12,390 to Marikina Mayor Marcy Teodoro for the victims of typhoon Ulysses in the city. Mang Romy has collected the money from begging, netizen Jazz Pher Justo says in his post on a Marikina community Facebook group.

“Imbes na ilaan at gastusin niya para sa kanyang pangangailangan, ito ay kanyang ibinigay para sa mga taga-Marikina na nasalanta ng bagyong Ulysses,” Justo writes. “Sobrang nakaka-inspire. Sana tularan pa ng iba.”

Justo, a volunteer at the Marikina City Hall, says he saw Mang Romy holding a cane and was being guided by a man inside the building. He thought Mang Romy was going to ask for help, but instead he was the one who gave help to those in need.

“Halos lahat ng nandoon ay medyo naiyak dahil isang PWD na namamalimos akala natin ay manghihingi ng tulong. Siya pa pala yung magbibigay ng tulong para sa mga taga-Marikina,” Justo says. He adds Mang Romy is a stroke victim and lives in Barangay Mambugan in Antipolo City.
