Working until the latest hour just like his fellow drivers, 28-year-old father and delivery driver Neil Delgado Garcia maximizes the permitted time given to deliver goods and packages around Baguio, s

uch as free food to hospital front liners, amid the season of COVID-19.

Nowadays, Neil finds that his small service also serves as an encouragement in his pursuit. “Nakita ko rin po kasi na nakakatulong ako, lalo na ‘nung nakikita ko po na nakangiti at nagpapasalamat 'yung mga taong nahahatiran ko ng pagkain,” he adds. “Kaya nga po ‘nung nag-deliver ako dun sa naka-assign po sa may mga case ng COVID-19. Nakikipagbiruan pa po ako kasi kita mo rin po sa kanila 'yung pagka-stress nila at mga wala pang pahinga.”

In 2009, Neil found himself in a motorcycle accident that dislocated his left leg. The operation was unfortunately unsuccessful, leading him to an infection that caused the loss of his leg. “Dinisisiyonan po ng mga doktor na putulin, kaysa mamatay po ako .” For others who experienced disability, he hopes to serve as an inspiration to work through life for a hopeful future.
