A photo showing a lone civilian directing traffic at the Gorrordo-Escario intersection in Cebu recently made the rounds online.
The viral photo uploaded by Baktin Corporation on Facebook last October 2 caught the attention of several netizens who praised the unnamed man for his act of kindness. According to the post, the man directed traffic for almost an hour while everyone was at the Cebu IT Park for the annual Oktoberfest.
“While everyone is at Cebu IT Park for the #Octoberfest, this lone civilian is manning the #traffic at Gorrordo-Escario intersection,” Baktin Corporation posted on Facebook.
Although the uplifting story didn’t spread like other negative news or scandals on Facebook, what the man did definitely inspired readers to do something positive for other people.
In a separate comment, Baktin Corporation revealed that a traffic enforcer reported to the scene moments after this.
Regarded as the world’s largest beer festival, Oktoberfest, which originated in Munich, Bavaria, Germany in 1810, is held annually in several cities across the world.
