I thought he was just trying hard to be nice. But I was wrong. He wasn't trying hard. He wasn't even trying at all. Through that very short trip, I learned how happy he is for being a taxi driver and how he still drives for his youngest kid who is a working student, but is about to graduate in college. He said he is just doing his job as a taxi driver to be nice to his passengers because "kayo ang pinanggagalingan ng aming kabuhayan". It was sad to know though that his operator deducted something that I wasn't able to catch what. He ended bringing home for Christmas a meager P1,200 as his Christmas bonus.
"Manong, may isa pa akong request, " I said. Picturean ko kayo at share ko sa Facebook para malaman ng marami kung ano ang isang tunay na taxi driver na Pinoy." He laughed so hard. That's the story behind this picture.
I thanked him profusely when I alighted his taxi. He thanked me endlessly too.
Please share this and tell the world that there is a Filipino taxi driver like Mang Eugenio.
