Young Boy Earns Praise Over Selfless Act: “Pwede pong takeout? Para mapatikim ko din po sa lola ko”
A young boy goes viral and earns praise online after taking out food for his grandma, saying, “Pwede pong takeout? Para mapatikim ko din po sa lola ko.”
Recently, Darlen Perculeza, a Facebook user, shared a photo of a 9-year-old boy named Joey who left a lasting impression on her. The post quickly circulated online and garnered various reactions from the netizens.
Darlen shared the story of Joey, whose only caregiver is his sick grandmother, prompting him to sell items to help support their needs. When Darlen offered Joey food, he initially declined due to a lack of money.
However, instead of thinking only of himself, Joey remembered his grandmother and asked if he could have a takeout to share the food with her.
Perculeza was moved by Joey’s selflessness and emphasized the importance of counting one’s blessings and urged others to be blessings to those around them. The young boy revealed that his parents left him due to disagreements, and he takes care of his sick grandmother while his siblings are married.
Despite his young age, Joey carries the weight of responsibilities beyond his years, showing resilience and selflessness in the face of challenge.

“Alone at the store and this kid suddenly went inside para mag alok ng tinda niya..
Bilang makwentong ate, pinaupo ko muna at kinamusta para makapahinga siya.
D: Nasan mama mo? Bakit ikaw nag titinda niyan?
J: Iniwan na po kami, nagaway po sila ni papa
D: eh ang papa mo nasan?
J: Iniwan na po ako, galit po ata sakin kasi lagi ako pinapalo
D: Wala kang kapatid? Sinong nagaalaga sayo?
J: Ang lola ko po may sakit kaya po ako nagtitinda. Ang mga kapatid ko po nagasawa na.
D: Tara kain tayo. Pili ikaw ng gusto mo.
J: Hindi na po, wala po akong pambayad
D: Sige na pili ikaw ako na don
J: Pwede po bang take out? Para mapatikim ko din po sa lola ko.
Dapat sarado kami today kasi lahat ng eats fam busy, ngayon lang din ako nakaduty sa store magisa.
Ang galing lang kasi with this chance encounter, I am once again reminded how blessed we are, tayo, ikaw na nakakabasa nito. Minsan kasi dami nating reklamo, without even realizing how lucky we are with our lives.
Tirik na tirik ang araw, nagtitinda si Joey para sa pamilya niya. 9 years old lang pero ang bigat bigat na ng mga isipin niya. After few hours, binalikan pa ako dito para mag ” babye “. Ngiting ngiti habang winawave ang kamay niya at paninda.
Sabi nga lagi ng Daddy, kaya daw dalawang kamay ang binigay satin, isa para sayo at isa para sa ibang tao.
Always count your blessings. Dagdagan na natin ng, after counting, learn to be a blessing too.”
