GrabFood ride receives praises online for using tips to feed strays

Once the savings are enough, he uses them to buy food and water for the dogs and cats he encounters in his daily route.

His efforts go beyond setting aside spare change. Before hitting the road, Paz sometimes prepares meals made of rice, meat, and squash for the strays. Rain or shine, he continues his feeding routine—even sharing portions of his own meals with the animals during his breaktime.

Earning the trust of the animals did not happen overnight. Paz shared that many of the strays initially ran away whenever he approached them. Over time, they became more comfortable around him—often greeting him with wagging tails whenever he arrived.

Among the animals he regularly feeds are three stray dogs he named Blacky, Whitey, and Browney, who were once thin and visibly unhealthy. But in his recent videos, they look much healthier.

Paz earned praises for taking care of animals despite rising living costs and the financial challenges that many delivery riders face.

“Halos wala nang taong may malasakit sa mga hayop sa panahon ngayon… Saludo ako sa iyo idol!” one user said.

“Kaya ka lagi nabe-bless boss eh, blessing ka din kasi sa mga stray cats/dogs… ingat lagi boss,” another user said.

As he continues collecting tips and feeding stray animals, Paz’s story highlights how small acts of generosity can grow into a sustained effort that benefits the animals in his community.
