Habal-Habal Driver Saved Coins For 8 Months, Buys New Motorcycle
Habal-Habal Driver Saved Coins – A ‘habal-habal’ driver saved coins for 8 months just to buy a brand new motorcycle goes viral on social media and now inspires people the power of saving money.
Jeffrey Catayas from Barangay Tisa, Cebu City in the Visayas, is a driver of a ‘habal-habal’ – a kind motorcycle that was modified to allow more passengers to ride without having a sidecar.
Habal-Habal motorcycles are common in areas wherein jeepneys, tricycles, and other forms of transportation cannot enter because of, commonly, rough and narrow roads.
In a post by SuperBalita Cebu on Facebook, it said that Catayas have started saving P5 and P10 coins wherein he kept them inside a ‘lantay’ or a bamboo-made bed in January.
Then after eight months of saving, he went to a Honda Center in Cebu wherein he brought all the coins he had saved.
Employees of the motorcycle center helped him in counting the coins and then, Catayas was able to buy a brand new motorcycle in cash.
