They still did not get the name of the cabbie or the cab company, but I figured, if one dishonest act condemns all Baguio cabbies, one honest act can serve to redeem all of them as well.

Just thought to give you a ‘Feel Good’ story to start the day off right!

This is a short post, and I am hoping to elicit some reactions from Baguio residents here. (more…)
