Student Praises Jeepney Driver for Paying Fare After Losing Wallet
A student expresses his admiration for a kind-hearted jeepney driver for paying fare after losing his wallet.
Recently, a student named John Ami, shared a touching experience with a kind jeepney driver who helped John when he lost his wallet. The post quickly went viral and received various reactions from the online community
One morning, John was on his way to Adamson University. As he boarded the jeepney, he realized he couldn’t find his wallet. He searched his entire bag and checked all his pockets, but it was nowhere to be found.
Fortunately, he found P3 in his pocket, so he moved to the seat behind the driver and explained his situation. Despite his initial worry, John was relieved when the driver responded positively. The driver appreciated John’s honesty and said it was better to be truthful than to stay silent and not pay at all.
The driver handed him P30, saying that he might need it for his fare home later. He was deeply moved because it was the driver’s first trip of the day, and despite the financial challenges jeepney drivers face, the driver still chose to help him.
John expressed his gratitude as he got off the jeepney, and the driver responded with a caring reminder to take care.
The jeepney driver’s willingness to help a student in need, despite his own hardships, serves as a heartwarming example of how small acts of kindness can make a great impact. It’s a beautiful reminder that even in difficult times, there are still people willing to lend a hand to others.

“Shout out pala kay Manong Jeepney Driver. Pasikatin natin to.
Papasok ako ng school sa Adamson, pag-sakay ko, hindi ko na makapa yung wallet ko. Tinignan ko na yung buong bag ko tas lahat ng bulsa ko, wala talaga.
Buti kahit papano may tres ako sa bulsa, so lumipat ako ng upuan, duon sa likod niya.
Tas sabi ko, “Kuya pedeng tres nalang nawawala wallet ko”.
Sumagot si manong “AYAN!!.” Medyo malakas akala ko galit.
“Ayan ang maganda, yung nagsasabi kesa yung mga nanahimik tas hindi nag babayad.”
Pag abot ko ng tres sa kanya, inabutan niya ako ng trenta pesos, tas sabi niya “Baka hindi ka na makauwi mamaya oh, eto pamasahe”.
Mangiyak ngiyak na ko nung panahon na yun, unang byahe palang ni Manong yun eh. Tas di ko inexpect na mag bibigay siya ng tulong, given na ang hina na ng kita ng nga jeepney driver. Pero na appreciate ko kasi kahit pare parehas tayung mahihirap meron paring handang tumulong.
Pag baba ko, nag pasalamat ako kay manong, tas sabi niya “Ingat ka, Anak”.”
