Man slept on streets after losing job, getting stranded in Pasay during lockdown

A man was forced to sleep on the streets after losing his job and getting stranded in Pasay City during  the enhanced community quarantine.

Bob Martin, who used to work as a helper in Makati City, was on his way home to Pangasinan when the lockdown was imposed, according to Atom Araullo’s “Nang Tumigil Ang Mundo” documentary.

“Nasa Makati ako noon, pauwi na ako sa Pangasinan pero sabi sakin ng pulis na hindi na pwede bumiyahe kaya pinabalik ako dito sa Maynila,” he narrated.

With no source of income, Bob lost his shelter and was forced to live on the streets.

“Hanggang sa may tao akong nakilalang mga pulubi. Nakitira na ako sakanila,” he said. “Naranasan kong matulog sa lapag po.”

Bob shared that with no other choice, he slept on the side of the road with only a used foam and cardboard to comfort him.

“Para po akong nawalan ng pag-asa. Sobrang bigat ng pinagdadaanan ko. Lahat ng napag-ipunan ko sa trabaho ko wala na lahat,” Bob said. – Kaela Malig/RC, GMA News
