Strong and courageus boy

On my way home travelling from cagayan valley to manila i sit beside this littel boy, he is just 9 years old travelling alone with his backpack and two boxes of chicken.

I saw his relative sending him off from the bus terminal at jct luna abulug cagayan and then leave him alone.  So i offered him to sit next to me.  I bought rice cake(bibingka local term) from ballesteros and give him some slice but he politely decline he said he wanted to buy tupig at gattaran unfotunately all tupigs are sold out. 

At the  bus stop at Tumawini Isabela i wake him to have a dinner and i offered him to buy his food but he wanted to do it alone, so he proceeded at the counter to  buy his own food then we share the table.  During our meal we are conversing and ask him if he has traveled alone before and he said Yes he did traveld alone. After our meal,  I asked him if he wanted to make pee then he gladly said yes so i told him not to bother with comfort room payment.

Along  the way i noticed hes feeling cold and i pull out my  blanket and shares with him, i can see in his face the comfort of having to feel little warm till he falls asleep.  Near the mountanous area of nueva vizcaya he woke up and whispered me he wanted to make pee. Then I asked the conductor and driver if they can stop for a while and they gladly stop on some safe area. 

As we are approaching metro manila at north luzon express way he woke up and  I can see in his face that hes already excited to reach his destination.  At our destination in sampaloc manila i asked him if his relatives is already at the terminal or does he have the phone number but he just said i dont have,  he told me he will just wait here at the bus terminal. I assisted him to retrieve his baggage carry some and instruct him to just stay at the waiting area till his relative will arrive. I can see in his face that hes just cool and he can manage on his own so i get back at the bus and headed to fairview. 

What a strong courageous boy, hope he is safe.
