A tricycle driver from barangay Manggahan in Pasig City received recognition after returning a student’s lost phone last October 22, 2024.
In October 22, 2024, when a student from the San Lorenzo Ruiz High School lost her phone, barangay official Joycelyn Dela Paz Camacho cooperated with MLKKPTODA, a group of tricycle drivers and operators from barangay Manggahan, in hopes of retrieving the missing phone.
Luckily, the phone was later retrieved in a transportation terminal on Kaalinsabay Street near the school thanks to the efforts of Lester P. Galitcha, one of the tricycle drivers with an assigned body number of 230.
“Tunay nga na hanggang ngayon ay patuloy pa ring nananaig ang pagiging tapat, pagkakaisa at pagtutulungan ng mga mamamayang Pilipino partikular ang mga Pasigueno. Good samaritan ng Manggahan, marapat lamang na kahangaan!” Ruizian Aper Media, the school’s publication, stated in one of its posts.
Camacho also expressed her gratitude towards the tricycle drivers, “Napakaganda ng buhay, sa kabila ng dinadanas na problema ng bawat isa, may mga taong mabubuting puso tulad po ng isa nating kasama sa tatlong gulong na MLKKPTODA at ganon din po ang mga ibang toda na nagbabalik ng mga naiwan sakanila… Bilang kinatawan ng Manggahan Toro, ako po mismo ay nagpapasalamat sa mga tulad nila. Mabuhay po ang mga toda at poda ng barangay Manggahan.”
