Daniel Cabrera is a student from Subangdaku Elementary School. The school is located in Subangdaku, Mandaue, Cebu in Central Philippines. Their family doesn’t have electricity at home so Daniel is forced to study outside where he can take advantage of the light coming from stores nearby. In this case, he makes use of the light coming from McDonald’s. He used the light when he makes his assignments.
