Seasonal change at Manila Bay in Philippine often comes with a typhoon. However, a young boy remained unmoved despite being soaked to the skin.
He seemed to do not care much about his safety when he spotted a mother cat going into labor in raging typhoon.
He made an extra effort to shelter the stray cat and her kittens from the rain in the midst of a storm with large waves. He protected the mother cat with a large plastic sheet while protecting himself from the rain as he stood next to a breakwater.
With such courage and kindness, he helped the mother cat to survive through the typhoon. Finally, a local animal welfare group saved the mommy and the kittens. Volunteers quickly moved all cats to the nearest animal and started taking care of them. Thanks for protecting them! You are the hero!
This was a touching scene that photojournalist Linus Escandor captured in the middle of typhoon Egay. This young hero has taught us all a lesson in humanity, compassion and generosity. Thanks to this unknown hero our hope in humanity has been restored.
