Lakatan
When faced with a difficult problem, don’t despair: adapt
A little boy was selling bananas on the street one day:
“How much is a kilogram of Lakatan?”
“PHP48.00 po Miss.”
“You’re so young. How old are you?"
“I’m 11 po.”
“Why are you alone?”
“Because my Papa is with our Bunso. He is sick and we need to buy a medicine for him. I just want to help my papa to keep our bunso. And that’s why I volunteer to sell.”
“When I get a college degree, I want to be President so I can help all the Filipinos like us who don’t have power or money to buy all they need.”
