75-Year-Old Foreign National Became Street Dweller After Abandoned by Wife

A 75-year-old foreign national ends up as a homeless person after he was reportedly abandoned by his beloved wife.

A netizen named Sandrix Lita has shared the photos of a senior citizen foreigner in Halang Canlalay Biñan, Laguna who ended up as a beggar. The post circulates online and garnered various reactions from the netizens.

The foreign man has been identified as Arthur Ernest who came from London. Ernest used to own a computer shop in Laguna but lost his business after his wife left him for an unknown reason.

Arthur is current living on his own without money and job as well as living under a tree near a covered court in Halang. Several residents in the area were giving him rice, food, and even money.

Aside from being jobless, the foreigner has diabetes and could not afford his medication due to poverty. He usually stays in front of a gasoline station in Ireneville.

Here is the full post:

“Nakausap ko si sir Arthur Ernest na dating may pagmamay ari ng Computer Shop dito sa Halang Canlalay Biñan, Laguna. Sa kasalukuyan sya po ay naninirahan sa ilalim ng Puno sa Tabi ng isang Covered Court Halang. Ang sabi nya po ay iniwan daw sya ng kanyang asawa. Sa madaling salita po wala na syang kasama sa buhay at wala na rin pong hanapbuhay, madalas po ay inaabutan sya ng Bigas ng mga nagdaraan na residente sa lugar subalit wala po syang kalan na pagsasaingan kung kaya po ipinamimigay na lang yung bigas na ibinibigay sa kanya. Madalas den syang inaabutan nang mga sasakyan ng makakaen at pera pambili ng makakaen. Hindi sya nanlilimos pero sa kalagayan nya alam kong hirap na hirap sya. Taga London daw po sya. Di ko na naitanong kung saan sya exactly sa London. Sana po may makatulong sa kanya na madefort sa kanilang bansa. Mahirap po ang kalagayan nya ngayon bukod sa may Diebetes si sir wala rin syang mapagkukunan ng Financial o ng daily needs. Sana po may makatulong sa kanya. Every morning po nakastand by sya sa harap ng isang tindahan sa harap ng gasolinahan sa Ireneville. Mabaet si sir at tuwang tuwa daw sya sa mga Pilipino kasi daw sobrang matulungin, bakas nga sa muka nya ang saya nung inabutan sya ng makakaen. Ang sabi nya sa akin kanina ay Expired na din ang Card nya at tinanong ko sya kung ilan taon na sya ang sagot nya sa akin ay 75 Years Old. Senior Citizen na din po sya.”
