Artist from Bicol pays tribute to viral kid vendor

CEBU CITY, Philippines –Artist Bryle Mortega Napay paid tribute to the viral young boy selling mangoes after he was ‘moved’ about the story of the kid.

The 26-year-old Napay made a 3D photo of the viral boy who won the hearts of Cebuano netizens last June 3, 2019 after a Facebook user Iwa Yan posted a photo of him selling green mangoes during a rehearsal for the Binibining Toledo Talents Night at the Barba Sports Complex in Toledo City.

“I was touched by the post of Iwa Yan about the kid. Instead of enjoying his childhood, he was selling some mangoes,” Napay said in Tagalog.
