Walking from Cavite to Isabela just to get home to his family after work, it did not take long until the story of Virgilio Colibao spread on social media.
According to Isabela Knights Riders Club President Christopher Fabro, their admiration for the old man and his love for his family is what pushed them to help the man by bringing him home.
"Naaantig kami kasi mas pinili niyang maglakad o mangalakal, magtulak magpakahirap, para makauwi ng probinsya ngunit marangal yung pagkatao niya."
Fortunately, the love received by Colibao did not end with the riders club of Isabela, Kapamilya show 'Rated K' has also heard news of the inspiring story that led them to reward the man for his perseverance in life.
Not only did the show give his family a day's treat, the Colibao family was also rewarded with groceries for their soon to be established sari-sari store. He was also given a new job wherein he no longer has to walk miles just to provide a living for his family. Now, the old man is working as a caretaker in a nearby farm.
But despite this, the man remains thankful for the old kariton he used which symbolizes his love and longing to be in his family's arms.
