According to Sarmiento, even if the man is not popular, he was still able to help her son. There was a lot of blood upon the incident but he had second thoughts into helping the boy. It’s truly an act of kindness.
Meanwhile, the 10-year-old boy is currently under observation in the hospital after a major surgery. The motorist who hit the boy was also forgiven and was not filed a case.
