This was captured near SM Manila along LRT-Central Terminal Station before the entire Luzon lockdown due to COVID19. Before I went to my destination, I grabbed for a quick snack - siomai and gulaman . Then the kid in black sando approached me and begged for money. I asked the vendor to give one order instead. Then came another kid, instructed them to share the food to each other, taught the one in red to at least say 'thank you', and reminded the other one not to be selfish. When you are in travel, talk to the locals. The things that you can learn from them will amaze you. I realized, talking to these kids was preaching myself the things I was telling to them: Share what you have. Always be grateful. Be kind. Reciprocate. Pass it on. Thanking God for such a time as this! # JJ ustPassingThrough #WhenInManila 02.22.2020
