Senior citizens are highly appreciated by Filipinos. Part of Filipino culture is to care for grandparents, and as much as possible, they are not placed on Home for the Aged. As long as senior citizens can only relax, enjoy the remaining days to be with loved ones.
But just not all senior citizens stay in their home, sitting and waiting for pensions or allowances from children or grandchildren. Through the hardships of life, there are senior citizens who have to work in order to continue to meet the needs of life.
A netizen named Katrine Marquez shares a picture in her Facebook account showing a lonely elderly named Edward Taguicana Jr, selling banana-cue on a footbridge alongside a famous mall.
Tatay Edward is already 65 years old and still runs his merchandise because he is the breadwinner in the family, despite his age.
During Katrine's interview with Tatay Edward, she found out that the old man's wife was ill and his children are with their own family.

The netizen called other's attention to help Tatay Edward by buying his banana-cue everytime they cross the said footbridge.
