While waiting for customers in the store, the father came and asked for the price of lechon manok.
When the father knew the price of the said food, he kindly asked for a discount because his money was inadequate.
“Kanina while we are waiting ng customer sa store, may construction worker na nagtanong kung magkano lechon manok namin, then I said 270 po tapos ang sabi niya wala na po bang bawas birthday po kasi ng anak ko nag-request kasi siya kaya yan nalang sana ihahanda namin kaya lang halos isang araw ko na sa trabaho ko yung presyo,” Quibuyen said.
The father also told Quibuyen that he only earns P450 per day as a construction worker.
When Quibuyen knew the situation of the father, she did not hesitate and quickly gave two lechon manok.
She also said that the father gave P270 but Quibuyen's plan is to give it for free.
“Then I asked him, magkano po ba sahod niyo sir? 450 lang kasi isang araw ko sa pag lelabor sa construction. Ah ganon po ba ang sabi ko naman. Tinanong ko kung ilan? Ang sagot niya (kahit isa lang po) dali-daling sinupot ko yung dalawang manok sabay abot sa kaniya tapos tinanong ko kung puwede ko ba siyang picturan. Tapos sabay abot niya ng bayad na worth 270 pesos sabi ko hayaan niyo na po tay wag niyo napong bayaran parang ang laking tuwa sa kaniya nung narinig niya yung sinabi ko,” she added.
Quibuyen also shared in her Facebook post the picture of a happy father as he is going home with a two lechon manok for his child's birthday.
The said post now has earned more than 13,000 reactions.
