MANILA, Philippines— Earlier this week, an unidentified woman got into some hot water after she was recorded slapping an old taxi driver in broad daylight following a road mishap somewhere in Congressional, Quezon City. In a previous story, we reported how the woman alighted from her car after the taxi driver allegedly dented the side of her vehicle.
After their cars skidded against one another, they stopped in the middle of a busy road and had a heated exchange in broad daylight. The young woman got out from her car and started verbally confronting the taxi driver. Little did she know that somebody was taking a video of the incident.
After a few moments of tense exchange, the woman raised her hand and slapped the old taxi driver in front of onlookers. The taxi driver was dumbfounded by the sudden act of violence which made him lie down in the pavement for a few moment.
As expected, this video quickly went viral on social media. Many people pointed out the young woman’s lack of respect and violent outburst. On the other hand, netizens expressed their sympathy towards the old taxi driver. People were eager to hear his side of the story, and he finally broke his silence.
In a short interview which was shared online, the old taxi driver named Virgilio Murillo Doctor (also known as “Mang Bhoy”) revealed his side of the story. According to the video, Mang Bhoy has been a model citizen of Potrero, Malabon City. His neighbors were eager to air his side of the story – to clear the matter once and for all.
He was quoted as saying:
“Okay na po sa akin ang lahat lahat. Nag-sorry na po ako kung sakaling ako’y nagkamali para matapos ang lahat na, kaso umabot sa pananakit pa. Natubo na nga ang sasakyan ‘ko, pinalo ng tubo, pero wala namang masyadong basag na salamin konting konti lang. Hanggang sa dumating ang pananakit nya, ‘yun ang di ko mapapalagpas.”
He also admitted that he felt a sudden rush of high blood pressure which resulted in a stroke after the incident. He explained that he went outside his car after the confrontation so that other people might rush him to the hospital.
