The story of a Davao Taxi Driver’s response to his previous passenger who left her phone inside the cab is becoming viral on the social sharing site Facebook. I saw this article in my timeline and somehow I became curious about it.
Apparently, there is some sort of plot twist in the story that you are about to find out. After reading the story of the driver based on the narration of the netizen.
As narrated by passenger Maria Irene, the previous passenger has left her smartphone inside the cab of a taxi driver in Davao. Maria was riding the said cab when the phone rang, she then picked it up and gave it to the driver and requested him to answer it.

The honest driver agreed to return the smartphone by meeting the previous female passenger in a mall. However, the latter keeps ringing her phone.
According to Maria, the driver seemed pissed at the previous passenger until such time he told that he does not need her myphone because he has an iPhone 4 given by his son. There is no detail about the MyPhone model. Read the whole story below.

When it rang again, driver answered and said in vernacular: Madam, Davao taxi drivers are honest. When I said I will return it, I will. Just don’t pester me right now because I have a passenger and I don’t want to appear unprofessional. Besides, I don’t need your Myphone, I have an iPhone 4 given to me by my son who’s a seaman and another phone from GrabTaxi!
