A talented schoolboy amazed shoppers when he was seen beatboxing inside a supermarket Manila in the Philippines on February 28.

The youngster was later identified as Joshua Inda, 13, from a nearby slum in the sprawling metropolis.

He told onlookers that he has developed the vocal skills over the last few years. He sometimes does them on the street to earn change to help him get by in the poverty city. At other times he walks around bars and entertains drinkers or tourists, who give him a few coins.

The filmer said: ''Even though he's in his teens he has been able to make a living with the gift that God gave him. He was originally from Cavite but moved to Manila because he has relatives here.

''He has a really unique talent. I was amazed by him and so proud to have met him.''
