These are the reasons why a social experiment involving a poor student touched the hearts of several netizens
A social experiment involving a poor student served as a tear-jerker to many netizens.
The young girl acted as a student whose old shoes need a replacement but since she has no enough money, she just chose to buy slippers.
On the other hand, even for a pair of slippers, her money is still not enough. That was the start of the social experiment.
It was intended to find out if random people have a willing heart to help a poor student.
The slippers that the young girl intended to buy was worth P50 but her money was only P30.
In the video, there were some people who extended their help for the poor student.
John Ray Aguilar immediately noticed that the young girl was pleading to the saleslady to allow her to have the slippers even if her money is not enough.
Without hesitation Aguilar gave the money.
Another prospect of the social experiment, Angelica Mauricio, also felt the same urge to help the poor student.
The third person who extended a helping hand was Richard Dy who thought that the same situation might happen to his child also.
Due to this social experiment, the hearts of several netizens were touched.
Based on the article published in KAMI, here are some comments from social media users who were touched upon watching the video.
“Marami pa rin talagang mga Piilipino ang matulungin at maawain, palagay ko likas talaga sa ating mga Pilipino ang kaugaliang ito!!!”
“iba padin ang ugaling pinoy, tlga. :)”
“Yung literal na umiyak ako sa episode na ito, proud Pinoy here”
“Marami parin tlgang matulungin na tao at mababait .(emojis) yan ang mga pilipino matulungin sa kapwa.”
“salodo tlga ako sa mga tao mabuti ang kalooban…God bless u all”
This social experiment was specifically done based on a study which result showed that many of the students in the Philippines have no means of transportation and they just walk to school, according to the article.
