CEBU -- A photo of a soldier who bought food for two street children in Lapu-Lapu City is making the rounds online.

The photo was posted on the official Facebook page of Lapu-Lapu City.

The soldier was identified as Airman Mario Teadila, a member of the 560th Air Base Wing of the Philippine Air Force.

The 21-year-old Teadila is originally from Lipa City in Batangas.

In an exclusive interview with ABS-CBN News, Teadila said he had just sent money to his family in Batangas when he saw the two boys sleeping near a mall.

He woke up the boys and asked if they had eaten. Teadilla took them to a fast food chain and talked to them.

When asked why he bought food for the boys, Teadilla said it was because how he was raised by his parents.

Teadilla came from a poor family and is the third of four children. His parents do not have stable jobs.

At age 19, he started working as a promodiser, leaving his college education behind.

He decided to become a soldier to help his family.
