Another Filipino taxi driver shows the world that there are still a lot of decent Pinoys in the Philippines. The cab driver, Maximo Aton, 35 years old with 4 kids and one of them has an eye defect; immediately returned a bag left by his passenger Raine Cruz which contained a laptop and PHp5,000 in cash.
Cruz and his companion took Aton's cab from Crowne Plaza Hotel in Ortigas and told the driver to take them to Taytay, Rizal. It was when the two passengers alighted from the taxi that they noticed that they have left their belongings. The passenger Raine Cruz immediately called the Hotel and asked if the security personnel has some record as to the cabs' plate number or something and he was surprised that the security personnel gave him not only the cab's license plates but even the cabby's phone number.
When Cruz called Aton about the lost bag, the cab driver immediately said that he tried to return the luggage but was unable to trace back where he had dropped his passengers off. So to cut the story short, the cabby returned the lost laptop and Php5,000 intact to it's rightful owner.
As a result of this cabby's honesty, the laptop owner, Raine Cruz featured the taxi driver in his facebook account and now the whole world is learning more about this simple Pinoy's trustworthiness and righteousness. We need more Pinoys like this guy, deep in financial difficulty and economic woes that he can't have his kid's eye problem treated but still he kept his moral values intact.
If you want to know more about this reliable cabby, try looking him up at facebook. Rain Cruz wrote the whole story in his account so do check it out. I'll probably become one of this taxi drivers' countless fans. I love these kind of Filipinos; I simply enjoy hearing stories about simple folk's honesty. I hope we have a billion more of these people in our country. :)
