One kind-hearted Filipino police officer shows that a small act of kindness goes a long way when a photo of him helping tie a senior citizen’s shoelace became viral.
The police officer who is identified as PO1 Jerald Lagazon quickly lent a helping hand to assist an elderly couple to get out of a van.
The elderly couple took a van to go to NLEX Mega Station and when they arrived at the destination, the couple faced a little bit of difficulty to disembark from the van.
A woman came out of the van first and while waiting for her partner to get out of the van she quickly shielded from the direct sunlight with an umbrella.
However, the man later had trouble as he struggled to get out with his walking aid.
