Tapos na ang masasayang araw ng mga abusadong taxi drivers as they are now obliged to issue receipts come July 2009 as approved by the Supreme Court according to a Yahoo Article entitled, "Receipts to be issued to taxi passengers starting July".

This move will definitely lessen [although not fully eradicate but hopefully it will] those taxi drivers who think that they are the only people in the country feeling the economic crisis by mandating passengers to pay additional fees. I know this because my wife often shares to me her taxi story whenever she rides one. "Dagdagan mo na lang ng singkwenta ha" are the usual lines of these drivers. Although we definitely understand where they are coming from but that should be left to those passenger who have the heart to give "tips" like we normally do and not oblige the passengers to give a tip [contradicting right] and worse some drivers react violently when their denied of their forced requests.

As for the government, this additional income should be used in projects that would improve the country and not the pockets of some select individuals and just like what I blogged about the taxi drivers, mahiya din naman kayo at gamitin niyo ang kita ng gobyerno sa tamang paraan. Be an example to the taxi drivers and the citizens of the Philippines and the world.
