Senior citizen couple walked barefooted carrying their 1-year-old grandchild

These two senior citizen walks barefooted on a rocky road while carrying their great-grandson at their back to reach their destination at a farm field in New Corella, Davao del Norte.

 

 

According to GMA’s show “Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho” episode last Sunday, Lolo Juanito, 75 years old and his wife 65 years old Lola Rosita they walked on a muddy pathway, rocky roads and they even climbed down a cliff while carrying their great-grandchild, Javel together with them.

 

 

Lolo Juanito put Javel in a basket while carrying on his back, and Javel is weighing about 15kilograms.

After 30mins of walking, the old couple reached the fields in barangay Maripong.
They didn’t own the field but the owner allowed them to use the farm to plant their own crops.

 

 

“Napapagod ako. Nag-iiba na ang aking pakiramdam. Syempre, kailangan nating kumilos sa araw-araw. Kung hindi naman tayo kumilos, wala tayong makakain (I’m getting tired. My condition has been changing. Of course, I still have to work every day. If I don’t work, we won’t have anything to eat),” Lolo Juanito said.

 

 

Lolo Juanito shared that walking that farm while carrying Javel is not easy for him since he is getting weaker and older. And even his eyes are getting worse.

The couple didn’t finish school and couldn’t read or write. Because of this, many of their customers were able to cheat them.

 

 

Even though every day is very hard for Lolo Juanito but he didn’t forget to bring Javel to church every Sunday.

The KMJS team wants to help them that is why they brought the senior couple to an eye specialist which they find out that the two have an eye cataract.

 

 

The Optometrist said that they need to go under eye surgery but in the meantime, they were given an eye correction to help them with their everyday work. Lolo Juanito and Lola Rosita are also set to have a physical checkup with an ophthalmologist once their area is COVID-free.

 

 

The rural health officials also visit them and even gave them vitamins, rice, groceries, and school supplies, while Lolo Juanito was also enrolled in the province’s Alternative Learning System program under the Department of Education.

 

The couple doesn’t know how to say thank you to all the people who help them. And they were very happy with all the blessings that they received.
