Striving just to survive.

A man who's as hardworking
as a bee.

Tries his best to earn a large sum of money.

Risking his own health to have a meal three times a day.

Giving all his energy just to earn money.

Sacrificing his freedom and spending all day on selling everything he can sell.

A restless person keeps on selling his products even if no one wants it.

Even if starving he still gave his best to earn a little amount.

A little amount that could make his family alive.

Disregarding his sickness just to support them.

A man with high hopes to be a successful person someday.

Rainy day, sunny day, or even a typhoon can't stop him from selling everyday.

Acting like a father in the family is very difficult.

That's not supposed to be his role but he don't have a choice.

There is only two options left.

To stay alive or to go six feet below the ground.

An option that made him want to surrender.

But it doesn't stop him from pursuing his dreams.

A dream that made him strong, hopeful, and faithful.
