“Ayon sa kwento ng uploader nakiusap si Tatay sa inspektor ng bus kung pwede syang bumaba sa Toledo City dahil ang natitirang pera na lang ni Tatay ay pambili nya ng gamot. Imbes na pagbigyan ang matanda ay sapilitang pinababa ng Konduktor si Tatay.
Nagkusang loob ng bayaran ng uploader ang pamasahe ni Tatay pero hindi ito tinanggap ng Kundoktor.”
As of this writing, the original uploader remains anonymous.
