MANILA, Philippines — Presidential candidate Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has received a heartfelt gesture from one of his supporters while making the rounds in Navotas City.
Marcos received a brown envelope containing a letter and cash while doing his motorcade.
It turned out that the money came from a fish vendor who saved it up to give it to Marcos.
He told Mayor Toby Tiangco who accompanied him during the motorcade to return the money.
But the lady fish vendor, who was near in tears, insisted.
“Tulong po naman sa inyo ‘yan sir… Ok lang ok lang. Pinaghirapan po natin sa isda yan sir,” she said.
The vendor is identified as Clamencia Garcia, who works at the Navotas Fish Port.
“Sa ‘di inaasahang pagkakataon napaluha ako habang nasa caravan,” said Marcos in his social media page.
“Maraming maraming salamat Nanay Clemencia sa ‘di matutumbasang suporta mo sa akin at sa buong Uniteam.”
“Kayo ang inspirasyon namin upang ipagpatuloy ang nasimulang adhikain.”
