Apparently he didn’t get himself anything because he was too poor and had just enough money for his daughters, Rose Ann and Rose Mae. His story instantly went viral with over 73k shares on Facebook and it has captured the attention of Jollibee.
So, Jollibee planned a surprise for Ryan and his daughters. On their Facebook, it was written:
“Do you remember the selfless father who was spotted by a customer feeding his children at a Jollibee branch in Manila? Last Tuesday March 28, we decided to give him and his two daughters a triple surprise treat!”
First, they treated Ryan to an all-paid grocery shopping spree at Robinsons Supermarket in Ermita Manila where he bought all the groceries his family needed.
