According to her story, an 80-year-old Mang Antonio who used to farm in Central Luzon and is now fixing broken umbrellas on the side of the road.

According to Mang Antonio, he was in Cubao when he heard about lockdowns throughout Metro Manila so he planned to return to Batasan Hills to be with his wife. 

"Now, lockdown, Antonio at 80. He was in Cubao, looking for an umbrella-maker when he heard about the lockdown. He was going to Batasan Hills to be with his wife." according to Mae Ann. 

While he was on the way, he met his neighbors and said his parent-in-law took his wife home to Bicol. Both couples do not have a cellphone so they cannot say goodbye to each other. 

"On the way home, he met his neighbors. His parent-in-law took his wife home to Bicol before the NCR closed. The couple did not have a cellphone, they couldn't even talk to each other during a lockdown." story by Mae Ann.

Mang Antonio is currently staying in front of a pawnshop in P. Tuazon hoping to reach good people.

"Outside a pawnshop in P. Tuazon, that is where Mang Antonio stayed when he didn't come home. He showed him his tools in repairing a broken umbrella. I gave him bread. He gave me apples, he said he can't chew it. He asked for a vitamin C. last Friday." 

"Police at the checkpoint at the corner of 15th Av. And P. Tuazon said he was friendly. Sometimes he was given food. "With all these quarantines being enhanced, Mang Antonio can only count on the generosity of the passersby."
