Once, a high school kid went to a Parokya ni Edgar concert, hoping to interview the famous band for his school paper.

He was promised that a post-gig interview was possible, only to be told backstage - after waiting several hours - that it’s too late for an interview. (1/4)

Then Chito Miranda appeared, asking what the kid was doing there.

“He’s asked to interview you guys, but I already told him that it was too late," the manager replied.

The kid, who had never been out that late his whole life, was crushed. (2/4)

Chito then turned to the kid and said: “Bro, we really have to go..."

But if you want, you can join us for drinks in the resort we’re going to, and you can interview us there!” (3/4)

I was that kid.

I forgot how I got home; all I remember was the thrill of the experience - of hanging out with the band in Pansol, and listening to their stories.

And it always reminds me of how a random act of kindness can make such a big impact in a person’s life. (4/4)
