In her caption, uploader Cristina Sofia Frencillo said that it was 10 p.m. in the evening when her sister saw Aurea, a guard from Leyte, with a lamp that barely provided light for his tracing paper while zooming in on his phone. | @alinea_arn
“Initially, nagulat po kami kasi ‘yung focus niya po ay sa work niya talaga, tapos everytime po na may dadaan naa-alarma siya kaagad. Kung wala namang tao siya ay nagdo-drawing,” Frencillo told the Inquirer. | @alinea_arn
She also admired how Aurea managed to sustain his studies, even investing in a laptop to use for academic requirements. | @alinea_arn
Frencillo further shared that to those asking where they can help Aurea: “Sabi po ni kuya guard, hindi niya kailangan ng financial na tulong at mas kailangan daw niya ang mga drawing materials at mga libro.” | @alinea_arn
