Netizen Receives Encouraging Note from Young Passenger Inside Bus
A male netizen was deeply touched after receiving a note with encouraging words from a young passenger.
Recently, Narvic Vale Gianan, a Facebook user, shared the kindness shown by the young passenger. The post quickly went viral on social media and drew various reactions from the online community.
Gianan shared how he was riding a bus from PITX to SM Fairview. He was sitting alone on a row of three seats when a young man sat beside him. As the bus moved along the busy roads, Narvic quietly stared out the window, holding back tears that kept falling despite his efforts to stop them. He even used a towel to wipe his face, hoping no one would notice his pain.
As they traveled and passed through areas near Quiapo, Narvic noticed the young passenger take out a piece of paper and a pen. At first, he thought the young man was just drawing or writing for himself.
Because the bus was moving, the young passenger waited for stops to continue writing, showing effort and focus.
When the bus reached Welcome Rotonda, the young man folded the paper and appeared restless. It turned out he was about to get off. Near Sto. Domingo Church, the young passenger, gently tapped Narvic and handed him the folded paper before standing up and leaving the bus.
Inside the paper was a short but powerful message meant to be opened. It said that even though they did not know each other personally, the writer believed in him and that everything would be okay.
The message deeply moved Narvic and reminded him that kindness can come from strangers at the most unexpected times.

Here is the full post:
“Sumakay ako ng BUS sa PITX byahe papuntang SM Fairview. Mag isa ako sa tatluhang upuan, then may tumabi sakin na isang binatilyong lalaki. ( Di ko alam kung estudyante or young pro na e). Habang bumabyahe, nakasilip lang ako sa may bintana, tumutulo yung luha ko kahit ilang beses kong pinipigilan. Kumuha na nga ako ng bimpo e para lang mapunasan ko kaagad.
Nasa bandang pa Quiapo na nung naglabas yung bata ng papel at ballpen. Pumunit sya ng piraso at nagsulat. Ang akala ko ay gumuguhit lang sya. Di ko pinapansin kase nga di ko naman sya kilala. Nahihirapan pa sya kase umaandar yung sasakyan kaya pag hihinto yung sasakyan, doon sya nagkaroon ng pagkakataon magsulat.
Nang makarating na sa Welcome Rotonda, tinupi na nya yung papel at tila bagang di na sya mapakali. Ayun pala ay malapit na syang bumaba. Nung marating na yung Sto. Domingo Church, kinalabit nya ako at binigay ang papel at saka sya tumayo para bumaba sa sasakyan.
Nakasaad sa sulat, “Open”

Na-appreciate ko lang. May mga tao pa palang kahit di ko naman kilala, pero may puso para magpagaan ng nararamdaman. Maliit na effort pero nakakataba ng puso.
Di ko man nakuha yung pangalan mo, di ako nakapag reply sa sulat mo. Ngunit nagpapasalamat ako sa effort mo. Saludo sayo! God bless your heart, Kuys!
Sana makaabot sayo itong pasasalamat ko.”
