A few days before Christmas, many social media users were enraged after a call center agent was caught slapping an old taxi driver during a heated road rage incident. The entire fiasco was caught on cam and the footage later spread like wild fire on social media.
The female call center agent was identified as Cherish Sharmaine Interior, who works for VXI. Interior got into a heated argument with an elderly taxi driver named Virgilio Doctor, 52, after the former allegedly tried to overtake him while they were driving along Congressional Avenue in Quezon City.
After a few failed attempts to overtake the taxi, the irate Interior got out of her car and confronted Doctor. After verbally berating the elderly taxi driver, Interior was caught on cam as she held out her hand to slap the taxi driver.
As expected, this issue caused a heated debate on social media. Many people expressed their sympathies for the elderly taxi driver and levelled criticism at the hot-headed call center agent. However, as with all things, there was more than one side to the story and some were willing to lend an ear to hear Interior’s side.
Days after it went viral, this issue escalated when the elderly taxi driver and the irate call center agent filed charges against one another. Doctor even appealed to the Land Transportation Office (LTO) to revoke Interior’s license.
Two weeks after the incident, the passenger of the taxi driver during the time of the incident finally broke her silence.
According to a report published by Danified, a woman claiming to be Doctor’s passenger when the incident occurred came forward with an explanation on social media. Luzel Espinosa Pasaylo’s testament might just help the elderly taxi driver with his case.
In a long-winded Facebook post, Pasaylo confirmed the taxi driver’s recollection of events. Apparently, Interior’s husband first came out of the car to confront the driver, and he was soon followed by Interior herself.
Although it was not seen in the video, Interior and her husband allegedly retrieved a golf club from their trunk and bashed the taxi’s rear end with it. Even though both the taxi driver and the passenger have already apologized, the couple continued the heated confrontation which led to physical violence.

Both Interior and Doctor are being summoned by the LTO to hear their respective cases.
