As per the narration of the News5 reporter:

"Kwento sa atin ni Lolo Nardo, may lumapit sa kanyang mga namamakyaw at nakisuyong magpapitas ng mangga. Pumayag daw siya sa halagang P1,000 para sa sampung kilong mangga. Hirap kasi sa buhay ang matandang binata at nakikisama lang sa bahay ng kapatid at mga pamangkin. Gusto lang daw sana niyang kumita nang kaunti para may pangkain," narrated the reporter.

Lolo Narding was then asked why he agreed to have the mangoes picked.

"Ipambibili ng pagkain, bigas," Lolo Nardo said.
