A truly loving parent will do everything to keep their children happy and healthy. They will do everything, even if everything means sacrifice. Just like this story of an old man who chose to walk for kilometers back and forth from their home on the hilltop.


He is Nong Arunting, an old man from Barangay Tiguib Ayungon, Negros Occidental, Philippines who can hardly walk, but still is tirelessly walking for 30 minutes excluding another 30 minutes of walk from the main road.




Nong Arunting





He is very much willing to endure all the pain and his tiring journey because he was doing it for the most precious ones he have, his children. He walks down from the hilltop to ask food for his two handicapped daughters.







Arunting is indeed dedicated in everything he's doing because his love for his daughters gives him the strength to endlessly walk everyday.

Pop Arunting's story already went viral online and because of this some Good Samaritans had been sending help for Pop Arunting and his two daughters.
He was also helped by Canada for Negros and Gawad Kalinga to build his new home which is located near the market for him not to walk for kilometers again to get food.
