An honest taxi driver in Manila - need repeat trips?

Hi,

I have had the good fortune of finding an excellent, honest and helpful taxi driver. I decided to help him out on here as he has given me a lot of help.

He helped me buy a car, he checked the docs, accompanied me to the notary and the bank and tested the car for me. I paid him for his time and expertize - he did not ask for it.

He helped me find a driver - who was honest and reliable. Thanks again Emelio!!

I initially needed a way to commute up and down to Makati from Ayala Alabang. He charged me 600 pesos each way. And whenever he was off, he organized a replacement for me. Never late, always friendly.

I later found out he was quite famous as he had returned 3.4 million pesos in jewelry and money some woman left in his taxi and he refused a reward. The Filipino goverment heard about this and gave him a reward. - Bought him a taxi and guranteed all education paid for his kids up to college level.

Wow what a blessing for me!!

If anyone wants his number, just drop me a comment on this blog with your email and I will send it to you. Emelio lives south of muntinlupa and has been driving taxi for something like 30 years.

If your an expat and you dont want to hire a car and cheaffeur for a month - this a cheaper option as you can just pay for the morning and evening trips.

I do not get anything for this post. Its just a thankyou to a good guy who made my incoming journey to Manila a better one.
