Homeless Korean wandering in Parañaque City

Netizen Bhabylynxan Maro Ponteras shared photos of a Korean residing in Parañaque City whom she wanted to help out. Ponteras got to know the Korean when he moved in next door to her together with a Filipina.

Named Jun Youjin and known as Joseph here in the Philippines, the man started working in the country as a call center agent but had to quit. According to Ponteras, his Filipina partner stopped caring for him and left him to fend for himself. Ponteras said Joseph could be seen wandering about looking for food. He begged for food from nearby stores and local restaurants.

Ponteras also noted that Joseph usually had cuts and bruises. Worried that he might be a victim of bullying, she hoped to spread the word about him so that the Korean Embassy could help him return home. In one particular photo, Joseph had a burn mark that he got in exchange for some money to buy food.

Ponteras said Joseph wanders around Tramo 1, Lagrimas St. in San Dionisio, Parañaque City.

She asked netizens to share the post to help Joseph out and to hopefully reach his family in Korea.
