Painted by the Use of His Mouth

Julius Tongco's Painting
     I read a post in facebook featuring a man named Julius Tongco, he is from Poblacion, Antequera, Bohol, a former seaman but was paralyzed due to unfortunate event in his life. He can't move his both hands and he can't stand or sit down by himself. It was hurting him but he don't have the choice but to accept his situation.To make use of his leisure time, he think of something to do like painting. Painting using his mouth. Yes, you heard it right. He used his mouth to guide the paint brush to paint an images on his canvass. To express gratitude to the person who helped him when he was hospitalized he made a beautiful painting to give to that person who is now, the Governor of Bohol.


     It was an inspiring story for me, knowing that there is still a person despite of his disability is trying his best to make his self useful. He is still trying to make a living in a decent way. If you like to support him and wanted to buy his art work. He displayed his art works in his house. 

In the absence of the Governor, the painting was received by the Provincial Administrator of Bohol
