PHOTO CREDIT: Facebook/Rayamel Racoma</td></tr></tbody></table>One of his customers, Rayamel Racoma, decided to share his fateful encounter with the hardworking boy through a lengthy post on Facebook.<br /><br />The young working student earns around P5 to P10 for each coin bank that he resells for P60 each. Despite the meagre income he gets from reselling, Escunde is grateful for the opportunity as he gets a kilogram of rice every time he purchases several pieces of coin banks to resell. At a young age, Escunde is able to support his family in his own little way.<br /><br />From their conversation, Racoma also learned that the young vendor spends the night in the city particularly on Fridays and Saturdays to spare himself from cycling all the way back to his home. <br /><br />When Racoma learned that the young vendor hasn’t taken his dinner yet, he offered to buy him a hotdog sandwich meal from a nearby convenience store. To Racoma’s surprise, Escunde only ate the hotdog. When asked why he didn’t consume the rest of the meal, Escunde revealed that he was saving it for breakfast the following day. <br /><br />In his post, Racuma said he intends to fill the coin bank he bought from Escunde with donations from netizens and later give it to him for his needs. He also encouraged other netizens to  help the boy by buying coin banks from him.<br /><br />In his post he wrote: “Please help me change his LIFE by buying his COINBANK or in any kind of HELP that can put SMILE in his FACE.I would like to have the COINBANK i bought from him to FILL it 10 peso coin and all of the PROCEEDS will be personally handed to him in a kind of buying things that he needs. e.g clothes, school supplies and groceries for his family.”<br /><br />Here’s the full story.<br /><br /><center><div id="fb-root"></div><script>(function(d, s, id) {  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;  js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3";  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script><div class="fb-post" data-href="https://web.facebook.com/rayamel.racoma/posts/10205458546046407" data-width="500"><div class="fb-xfbml-parse-ignore"><blockquote cite="https://web.facebook.com/rayamel.racoma/posts/10205458546046407">PLEASE READ UNTIL THE END...

Ito ang tunay na inspirasyon! Mapagwapo, Mapa average guy ka man basta marangal ang trabaho mo at nagbabanat ka talaga ng buto dapat kang hangaan. Hindi ka pabigat sa lipunan, kahit ang lipunan na ang nagiging pabigat sayo, tuloy lang ang laban!” commented netizen MJ Simacon Fastidio.<br /><br />( He should be the one praised and made famous. He is a true inspiration. Whether you’re a handsome or an average guy, as long as you have a noble job and you work hard, you should be admired. You are not a burden to the society and even if the society becomes a burden to you, you still continue to fight.)<br /><br />Andie Dela Cruz Tan added: “Si kuya cornman at carrotman pareho kong hinahangaan... Dahil sila dapat tularan natin... Mga tao na naghahanap buhay ng matino... Mga lalake na hindi batugan at may silbi sa lipunan.”<br /><br />(I admire both “corn man” and “carrot man”. We should follow their examples. They are hardworking men who contribute to the society.) <b><i>-Mini/The Summit Express</i></b></div>
