BACOLOD CITY, Negros Occidental – Anyone who needs a ride around Bacolod City, you know who to look for.
On her Facebook, Ma. Leah Pineda Capalla narrated how an honest and resourceful tricycle driver named Mario Raymunda returned the laptop of her son last February 6, 2016.
According to Capalla, her son — who had just arrived at the city port in the evening after taking a fastcraft from Iloilo City — accidentally left his bag containing his laptop on Raymunda’s tricycle as he was riding it on his way to a jeepney stop. By the time Raymunda left, it was only then he realized he forgot his laptop.
After going home, tricycle driver noticed the bag with the laptop and searched its other contents for any contact information. With the name on the ferry ticket as his only lead, Raymunda — who did not have a cell phone or computer — asked his neighbor if he could use Facebook to trace the owner. Fortunately, they were able to contact the owner’s sister and set-up a meeting to return the laptop.
Ending her post, Pineda described Raymunda as a “PRIDE of BACOLODNON” for his honesty and resourcefulness and said he deserves to be commended for his act.
“He is a driver who could be trusted with his honesty and initiative in using his neighbor’s cell phone and computer (to return the laptop),” she wrote. “He deserves to be recognized and be given an award.
