Facebook user Analee Rodriguez shared on Saturday, September 17, her encounter with a 10-year-old boy she met in Filmore Street, Makati.
His name is Prince. He sells freshly made kesong puti (cream cheese) for 120 pesos per pack.
While some kids of his age would enjoy playing, studying, and staying at home with their siblings, this little prince prefers to earn a living.

Before the light even breaks the darkness, this young child would take a bus at 4am and would usually reach his spot at 6am. His routine includes attending school from 6 am to 12 noon. By 12, he must start doing his small business until all of his products are purchased. This is how his day goes every day.
He would commonly close his shop when the clock strikes 9 pm during normal days. He would be home at 11pm if everything goes as expected.
Meanwhile, on lean days, he is obliged to stay up selling until the next school day to be able to sell the last pack.

Inspired by Prince's hard work and perseverance, she encourages everyone to support the child's business if they can. With that small act of kindness, Prince can go home early and spend time with his family whom he misses a lot.
