Help this lolo stranded in Pagadian find his family

Netizen Sham Sugoy shared photos of an old man she met right after she arrived in Pagadian City. The man was apparently stuck there with no place to go.

This lolo in Pagadian City introduced himself as Ponciano “Porcing” B. Emoricha, 78 years old, and born on November 24, 1937. Tatay Porcing said he had been at Pagadian’s airport terminal for almost 11 years. The frail old man had arrived in Pagadian himself years ago as fit as he could be. Unfortunately, he was held up, hence his life now as a bystander at the airport. Time had taken away most of his strength and mobility, his ability to speak and hear.

Sugoy posted a call to Tatay Porcing’s children Evelyn Tadd, Ernel Emoricha, and Joel Emoricha who Tatay said live in Lapu-lapu, Cebu City. Hopefully, Pagadian officials will take notice and care for him while the search for his family continues. She hopes netizens will take notice of her post and share the information she got to help the old man find his way back to his family. At his old age, the love and care of family could be the only thing that could keep him going.

Spread the word and share the love. Help Tatay Porcing.
