Schwarzenegger Balasan does not need a tricycle to service him to school. This seven-year old kid only needs unicycle to save him from walking the roads of Trece Martires Cavite to attend his classes.
In a Facebook video uploaded by Alan Imbo Panday, Balasan is seen balancing the unicycle without handles, just the frame and the saddle.
“Hanga ako talaga sa sobrang galing nya,” said Panday in his post.
Panday said that he was riding his bicycle when he saw the kid and started a conversation with him.
In the video, Balasan explains that he rides the single-wheeled bike everyday to school.
“Ang galing mo ah, ganyan lang bike mo?” asks Panday.
“Bike ko nga dalawang gulong, nahihirapan pa ko e,” adds Panday.
The boy does not respond to Panday’s admiration but politely answers his questions and focuses on dodging the uneven parts and cracks on the road.
While most netizens were amazed by Balasan’s skills, others expressed concern as the kid cycles casually beside a truck.
“Magaling pero sana ang mga magulang ay iniisip din ang safety nya. Tandaan natin na ang kalye ay puno ng samo’t saring personalidad. Minsan nga may lasing pang nagmamaneho eh. Di mo masabi ang disgrasya,” wrote one netizen.
“Boy, galing mo! Next time hingi ka helmet kay papa,” suggested one comment.
“Kung ako ang magulang, di ko sya hahayaan pumunta sa school ng mag isa at gamitin yung sinasakyan nya. Napakaraming sasakyan na pwedeng bumundol sa batang yan, napakadelikado ng dinadaanan nya,” said another.
To date, several people have offered to buy Balasan a new bike. His story has been shared over 37 thousand times and inspired hundreds because of his diligence to go to school.
