Man walks for five days to return home amid quarantine

Standing on a seemingly endless road in the town of Gumaca in Quezon province, Marlon Dalipe was beginning to feel the pain down to his feet – after all, it was already the third day of what became a five-day walk from the nation’s capital region to his hometown.

Dalipe only had his persistence to return home and 500 pesos (RM42) in his wallet when he decided to do what many would say is unimaginable – walk his way from Alabang in Muntinlupa City to his hometown in Camarines Sur.
