A pharmacist has gone viral for raising money for the less fortunate.
During the holiday season, Filipinos shared his receiving GCash address in hopes of getting lucky.
Arshie Larga, a known fixture on social media who claims to have a doctorate in pharmacy, got on the trend too but did not expect that he’d receive a significant amount from strangers.
In a TikTok video he uploaded on January 14, and revealed that he received nearly P50,000.
Update: As of tonight nakalikom na po ako ng ₱87,253.82😭 Mare-reach ko na yung limit sa gcash😅
Gamit ito plano ko po magbigay ng libreng OTC na gamot (para sa lagnat, sipon, at ubo) sa ilang kababayan ko dito sa Marinduque. Bukas po mag-oorder na ako ng gamot para dito☺️ https://t.co/NRjzpHaxXI pic.twitter.com/0nCLUCtnBN

But that amount only increased since he posted the video.
In an update, the money shot up to P87,000. Larga promised to use the funds to help out his people in Marinduque, suffering from medical problems.

The blessings didn’t stop there as the amount already hit six figures.
Update: Wala pang isang oras since I posted my last update pero halos 100K na po ang nalikom kong pera sa gcash😭🥺
If ever may gusto pa pong magpadala here’s my PayPal account: https://t.co/OYZvCdf17A https://t.co/bQwmF02aPi pic.twitter.com/hx5rluBDLY

“Hindi ko to gagamitin para sa sarili ko,” he said.
His PayPal account also received around P43,000. In total, he has collected over P143,000.
Hindi ko expect na aabot ito sa ganito kalaking halaga😳
Maraming salamat po sa tiwala💖 pic.twitter.com/CXocdsN8TL
