Elderly jeepney barker sisters get health check-ups thanks to GMA Kapuso Foundation

Two sisters in their 70s who are still working as jeepney barkers have received health check-ups courtesy of the GMA Kapuso Foundation.

As seen on "24 Oras" on Wednesday, one of the sisters, Diega Tives, 77, has worked for more than 40 years as a jeepney barker in Makati. For every full jeepney, she earns P10-P15. She also has a sideline delivering bananas to the stores underneath the train rails.

Their children have been urging both women to retire, but the sisters said that they get weaker just staying at home. In addition, they had their eyes checked. According to optometrist Dr. Cristy Querido, Diega has cataracts and Helen has astigmatism.
