These vendors were considered one of the least fortunate people in the country. But despite their poverty, they serve their customers with big smiles.

However, the vendors caused some problems most especially in the streets of the cities. They sometimes overlap on the streets or left garbage on their post.

Meanwhile, a Facebook user behind Ofw Kuwait Balita shared a photo of a balut vendor picking up the eggs that were littered on the street.

The photo was taken at Colon Street in Cebu City. A government officer was clearing off the street and confiscates every cart he saw in a high way.

The netizens understand that the officer was just doing his job but seeing the poor balut vendor picking up the eggs broke her heart.

On the caption of the photo, the netizen stated that the offers could have just talked to the vendor and ask him to politely leave his post.

Other netizens also expressed their anguish towards the government officer’s treatment to the balut vendor. Here are some of their comments on the post:
