Galit ang Lalaking ito Dahil Nabangga Siya ng Taxi Driver Pero Nagbago ang Lahat ng Malaman Niya ang Kalagayan Nito
It never hurts to be selfless and kind to the people who aren’t. It never hurts to give patience and understanding even though you’ve received the short end of the stick. A kind-hearted motorist named Mikkie Belen taught us a lesson or two about compassion when he got into a fender bender.
Mikkie was driving when his car was suddenly hit by a taxi driver. The accident caused a bit of damage to his vehicle and what’s worse is that the driver was trying to convince everyone that it was his fault.
The blaring horns of annoyed motorists along with the heat of the sun caused Mikkie to be very angry. He asked traffic enforces to bring this up with the police. Then, the proud tone of the taxi driver changed when police officers seemed to realize that it was his fault all along.
Mikkie didn’t realize that when filing a police report, the parties involved should shell out PHP 200. The driver tried to gain his sympathy when he said that he was down to his last PHP 500. But since he was angry, Mikkie refused and said that he would call the taxi company to shoulder the expense.
However, things changed when this kind-hearted motorist found out that everything was going to be taken from the driver’s salary.
Mikkie asked everyone to be considerate if they ever get into the same situation. Of course, we need to always fight for what’s right. However, it never hurts to place yourself in somebody else’s shoes. Especially with people who are genuinely remorseful for their actions.

Today, I appreciated my blessings more. Kanina, normal day, usual traffic. All of a sudden I felt something hit my car and to my surpirse, binangga na pala ako ng taxi. I can't even open my door kasi his car was blocking my entire door. And dagdag hassle was the extreme heat plus maraming mura and busina dun sa mga naabalang motorists, ang masaklap eh ako pa yung pinapalabas nyang mali. Right turn only yung road, nasa inner right lane ako, for some reason pinilit nya kong unahan, siguro namiscalculate nya kaya sya tumama. Instead of being apologetic, he seemed proud and parang ako pa yung may mali. Nagsigawan kami sa gitna ng traffic at sa ilalim ng init. That's why I insisted sa traffic enforcer na I want the matter to be escalated sa police. And nung naexplain na ng police na sya ang mali, he suddenly changed his tone. He "partly" admitted his mistake. Pero sabi ko the damage has been done and nahassle narin kami pareho. And pag kukuha ka pala ng police report kailangan pa pala magbayad ng both parties ng 200 php. He told me "boss 500 nalang pera ko, baka pwedeng ipabuffing nalang natin yan" Syempre hindi ako pumayag kasi tanggal talaga paint, sabi ko tatawagan ko yung taxi company nya para sila sumagot. Yun pala, salary deduction parin pala sa kanya yun. Medyo naawa ako kay manong. But still yung pride ko and init ng ulo nangibabaw. But then how could I take this hard working man's money. Majority satin bwiset sa mga taxi because the way they drive and sometimes treat passengers. Pero I can't blame them kasi sometimes rushing is their only way to make ends meet. And when he told me na "lesson learned sakin ito", that's when I said na ok na lahat. Na next time ingat nalang para less hassle both parties. Yung hassle at oras na nasayang sa pag file ng report means late ako makakapagbreakfast, but for him, it is 2 hours lost income. If ever you encounter this situation/drivers, make them learn their lesson but please, if it won't cost you an arm, wag nyo nang singilin. Parang tulong nyo nalang din. Kasi we'll never know baka for some it's just the hassle of using their "emergency money" but for these drivers it's giving up a meal or two for their family.
If you know me well, you know how I love my cars; but this time I'm willing to drive around with a scratched car until I can save to have it fixed rather than taking this man's money not knowing how much hard time it could cause him.
As my dad always say, we don't need to have much, just enough to sustain ourselves and to help others kahit konti.
Count your blessings and be thankful for the little things.
PS. I didn't post this to ask for pats on my back. I posted this because I believe that good deeds are contagious.
Here are some netizens’ reactions to the story.
