After getting the help he needed, Kuya Ronnie is now halfway in completing his new home.

Alexandra Baynosa, the daughter of fellow school maintenance worker Gilbert Baynosa, posted updates on the development of Kuya Ronnie’s new home on her Facebook account.

Alexandra said that it was her dad who sent her the photos and she decided to share it online to update those who have been asking about Kuya Ronnie’s situation.
