An honest Filipino taxi driver returned lost bags and other expensive personal belongings left by two female Italian tourist in his cab. The driver went to a local AM Radio station in Manila to ask for their help in finding the owners of the said left items. The two Italian tourists were later contacted by the AM station and were given back their lost property.
It just proves that there are a lot of Filipinos who are still honest and trustworthy in our country. No matter how corrupt and useless our government officials are, at least we still have a lot of good and decent citizens out there. This story is not the first of its kind, it's been happening so many times all over the country, an honest Filipino returning lost money or belongings to the rightful owner, without asking anything in return, no rewards or favor.
Now, doesn't that make you feel warm and fuzzy deep inside? Well, I do feel good after hearing or watching these good stories about the honesty, integrity and trustworthiness of my fellow Filipinos. It has always been one of our good traits as a people, honesty and trustworthiness.
I hope this taxi driver gets all the rewards he deserves and I wish all Filipinos look up to him and imitate his good deeds. Honest men are hard to come by these days, with all these economic and financial difficulties all over the world. So that act makes this taxi driver a hero to me.
Mabuhay ka Kabayan! May your tribe increase. God Bless you!
