While other people are busy buying grocery items for their families, a netizen witnessed a small act of kindness while shopping at a grocery store in Makati City last March 11, 2020. 
Uploader Lane said she overheard a conversation between a woman and an elderly man while waiting in line at a grocery store.
“Kuha pa po kayo ng tinapay, kape, asukal... ako po ang magbabayad,” Lane quoted the woman as saying.

According to Lane, there are only a few canned goods and bottles of alcohol inside the grocery basket of the elderly man.
He was thinking twice if he would accept the woman’s offer to shoulder his bill. He later on decided to add more items to his basket but the woman insisted that he should add more.
“Yan lang po kinuha niyo? Kuha pa po kayo. Dagdagan niyo pa po, ako po ang magbabayad,” the woman said referring to the two small packs of baked goods that the man got from the shelves.
While he was away to get more, the woman approached her companion and they both added other items to his basket.
“So habang wala pa si Manong, napupuno na ang basket niya kalalagay nila girl and kasama niya ng mga necessity items,” Lane said.

“Pagdating ni Manong, nagulat na lang siya sa dami ng laman ng basket niya. Makikitang happy and overwhelmed na rin si Manong,” she added.
Lane said that her faith in humanity was restored upon witnessing the kindness of the woman amid stories of panic-buying and hoarding due to the threat of COVID-19
“We should spread kindness nga pala lalo na sa panahon ngayon,” Lane said.
