The 70-year-old ice delivery man who discovered his hard-earned money was damaged by termite has had the nearly P50,000 savings replaced, said Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).
Adonis Buemia, who has been delivering ice for a living for 30 years was able to buy a house, a brand new tricycle, and even save money from his 300-pesos daily income.
He is a solo parent with special child but managed to save P100 or one-third of his daily income which he tucked away inside a cabinet in his home.
However, his savings are almost fall to pieces after termites feasted on them. Desperate to save his hard-earned money, he commented on a Facebook account of a program in a local TV station for help. In turn, the programme referred his case to the BSP.
Immediately the BSP acting Deputy Director Nenette Malabrigo contacted the bank nearest Buemia's residence and endorsed the damaged cash for replacement.
"Masayang-masaya talaga ako at napalitan na at naibalik nang buo ang ipon ko," he said.
