Kuya ‘Putol’
Though the body be incomplete, let your soul be whole. What is important is not to have an amputated spirit
While I was on my way to school, I saw a man named Paulino, better known as ‘Kuya Putol’, who was a tricycle driver in Valenzuela City. His tricycle is different from others because it has a drinking glass for a bicycle handle.
“I have been driving for almost 25 years. When I first started, I had two hands. An accident happened to me in 2002. That is how I lost my right hand.”
“Do you have children?”
“Yes, I have six. That is why I am still working despite what happened to me. I need to work for them.”
