This Dominican man is showing protesters what dedication means.

A man who goes by the nickname El Peregrino de Mogote is showing the president of the Dominican Republic that he takes road construction and protesting very seriously.

The Yamasá native, who looks to be in his 50s, decided that the only way to convince President Danilo Medina to fix a neglected road in his area is to let himself be buried, according to Remezcla.

Of course, only his body is underground. His head is left sticking out of the tiny mound he's buried in.

This Dominican man is perhaps one of the most dedicated protesters out there. Others might use common and forgettable tactics to convince the government to make changes, but El Peregrino de Mogote's decision to let himself be buried in such a way is one of the most dramatic and attention-grabbing moves to pressure the president to fix a road.

"Queremos carretera, si no va 'ber candela," a crowd chanted beside El Peregrino while he is buried.

"We are here to get the attention of competent officials, so that someone takes the reins and fixes El Mogote, now that it is in a deteriorating state" the Dominican man exclaimed to CDN.

"It's embarrassing that in the 21st century, this hardworking community is so close to a road that is in such decline," he added in protest.

As for the rest of demonstrators, they agreed with El Peregrino that the condition of El Mogote is unacceptable.

It's not the first time that a man has buried himself alive. In 2014, a California man got buried alive on a beach and in 2011, a Russian man also let himself be buried. However, these two weren't so lucky as the Dominican man in Yamasá.

The man in California was a 26-year-old college graduate who died after getting buried by mistake in a 100-feet sand tunnel he had been digging, according to the Daily Mail.

As for the Russian man, he also died after burying himself alive by mistake. According to the BBC, the Russian man convinced a friend to bury him for a night since he thought it would give him luck. The incident took place in Blagoveshchensk City in east Russia. What's more tragic was that he even prepared for the "burial" since he brought a mobile phone and a bottle of water with him inside a coffin that had holes for air pipes.
