Thank you ng Thank You Ang Tatay na Drayber ng Jeep

Habang nagtitingin ako ng mga post ng friends ko sa facebook homepage, nakita ko tong link na to, nacurious ako sa kung bakit ito pinamagatan ng ganito, kaya hindi na ko nagdalawang isip na buksan ito, habang binabasa ko ang mga nakasulat sa talata, napaiyak ako, dahil bukod sa ipinakita niyang labis na pagmamahal sa kanyang anak ay nagawa niya pang magpasalamat sa mga pasahero nito, bibihira ang ganyang driver at talaga namang, labis akong napahanga sa kanya. At alam ko rin na habang binabasa niyo ang storya nya mag aagree kayo na isa ito sa pinakanakakatouch na story na nabasa niyo. :) :(

Thank You ng Thank You ang Tatay na Jeepney Driver
 

I just wanna share my experience a while ago. It happened in a jeepney routing from Santolan to Sta. Lucia East Mall. I've always looked for jeepneys with few people inside because I'm shy when I'm alone. This time I was going home alone (which happens once every 1,000 years) and my first instinct is to find the jeepney with the fewest boarder.

Outside the Santolan LRT Station waits a lot of jeepney, looking for the loneliest one. A couple of steps and Voila I found it, a poor little empty jeepney (HAHAHA). I sat beside the driver so that I can play my psp easily. Minutes pass and the jeepney is half full. I noticed that the driver is always rubbing his tummy (the same thing we do when we are hungry), but I don't mind that, what happened next makes me care. The jeep is full and ready to go, so people paid their fares and the Jeepney driver said "Thank You" twice or thrice to each persons, AS IN PER PERSON, I was beside him so I noticed it and I think I was the only one who noticed him doing that. We got stuck in a traffic jam in Ligaya, that time and I have not given my fare yet because I was playing psp.

Curiosity striked so I asked him a question (besides he looks like a good guy) "Boss, bakit ka thank you ng thank you kanina pag may nagbabayad?" he answered "kasi itong mga baryang to ang bubuhay sa anak ko" I didn't understand so I asked him again "May sakit boss?" Driver:"Oo anak meron, leukemia"

I stayed silent after I hearing that, I turned off the psp and look somewhere else because in other words e nakakaawa pero mas naawa ako lalo ng makita ko ang tatlong picture na naka clip sa left side mirror, right side mirror at yung mirror sa taas ng ulo ko. I know how to drive so that I know that you will always look in that mirrors every second while you are driving, ALWAYS. And now I know why he always rub his tummy. It makes my eye teary but I'm a man so I fight it ( ^_^ ). I get my fare, 100 pesos na buo and give it to him. "Boss Sta.Lucia lang, isa", as soon as I gave the money he count some coins for my change and that same time I said "Hindi na boss ok lang kunin mo na po yan" sabay ngiti. And there again I hear the thousand thank you from him.

Not aware of the other passengers, may mga hindi pa pala nagbabayad. And after what I did they also gave their fares, 100 pesos, 200 pesos, 50 pesos and I also saw 500 pesos na mga buo, and they all gave that to him. I just smiled to them, turn on my psp and started playing again...

That completes my day... teary eyed here.. and ow the one in the picture is not him... I just want you to visualize it..
