When the world was hit by the pandemic, many heroes came to light. They include teachers like him who thought of ingenious solutions to get the teaching modules to their students living in far-flung areas.

Riding on a kariton (cart) pulled by a kalabaw (water buffalo), he makes the arduous journey to make sure that his students, no matter where they were, have access to education.

Like a delivery man, the teacher exclaims from outside a house in Barangay San Isidro:

“Mag-dedeliver lang po ng modules.”
