Not Shouting

For more than six years, Ariel has been a familiar sight to churchgoers attending Mass at Our Mother of Perpetual Help Parish – Redemptorist Church in Davao City. Unlike many street vendors who need to call out loudly or play recorded announcements to attract customers to buy balut or pandesal, Ariel calmly and politely invites passersby to enjoy a cup of taho, as seen here Thursday morning (23 July 2026) at the Ayala Abreeza mall just across the church.
