When we see an elderly, in her 80?s, Lola Marta working in spite of her age, we feel remorseful, thinking she should be at home relaxing and not carrying a Ice Chest with Buko Salad that she has to sell.

Netizen Wency Lavigne posted a photo of an old woman selling ice candy in Tibag High School, making him wonder.

Wency said: "Sa dami rami ng matatandang makikita mo, nagtitinda namamalimus, at kumakayod para mabuhay sila. May isang matanda na hinding hindi makakalimutan ng karamihan. Sya si Lola Marta Isa syang tindera ng Buku salad sa Tibag High School at kung saan pang lugar dito sa bayan ng Tarlac. Tanghaling tapat magsisimula na siyang maglako ng kanyang paninda habang tirik na tirik ang araw. Grade 4 palang ako nakikita ko na syang nagtitinda, hanggang sa naging grade 11 student na ako."

"Matagal ko nang gustong gawin ito upang tulungan sya sa pamamagitan ng social media. Hindi ko to ipopost upang makakuha ng maraming likes/maging famous. Ngayon panahon na para tulungan natin itong lola na ito. Hindi niya deserve ito. Deserve niya na magpahinga at hindi nagtitinda. Ang mas magandang ginagawa niya na lang ay ang nakikipaglaro na lamang sya sa kanyang mga apo at binibigyang halaga." he added on his post.

Despite the hot weather, she has been seen tending her stall.

It is kind of inspiring. Diligence, Sacrifice, and Love. This Lola is a true definition of hard working. When you see her Tarlac City, please spread the love; smile at the old woman, and buy a buko salad from her.
