Hi! I'm Catherine Fe L. Pauig, the author of this short story about a taxi driver whose sole responsibility was to pick up his passenger and transport them to their destination, but in this narrative, I'll show you why a taxi driver may also be your superhero.
“To witness a crime...”
I am Matt Reyes, a Filipino taxi driver who is 56 years old. I started driving when I was 19 years old, when my father could not afford to send us to college. I have been going to so many places to give rides to my passengers. The longest ride I have ever taken was in the province of Isabela for 24 hours straight. I encountered so many incidents. In fact, I almost drove myself to the bridge because I slept while driving. Sometimes I am drunk; other times I just sleep while driving. From what I remember, it happens all the time. Of course, I cannot forget the incidents where I almost died and left my family without saying goodbye.
My work hours are 4 a.m. to 12 p.m. every day. One morning, when I was waiting for passengers in the parking lot of a hotel, there was a couple who came straight to me and asked me to give them a ride to Quiapo, Manila. They are tourists, so I think they just saw this place online. I put their luggage in a compartment and gave them a ride. Before they left, I warned them to hide their wallets and phones because there are many thieves out there and they are tourists, so attention may come to them. I give them my phone number in case they need a ride back to the hotel.
To give you an idea, Quiapo is known as the "Old Downtown Manila." One of the most famous sites in the area is the Quiapo Church, where you can find the Black Nazarene, a dark wooden statue of Jesus Christ believed to bestow miracles and blessings on those who worship it. The area is well known for its marketplace, where bargain hunting is popular. There are numerous vendors everywhere where you can buy the latest fashion trends at the lowest possible price. There are also things that people believe to be true, such as fortune-telling and faith-based healing services, along with herbals and amulets for sale that are said to protect their holders from evil forces. These are the reasons why so many people visit Quiapo, Manila. But we cannot deny the fact that Quiapo is also one of the most dangerous places in Manila because of pickpockets, beggars, and other crimes that can happen there.
After I left them, I went back to the hotel to wait for another passenger, but then someone called me, and guess what? The couple that I warned to hide their important things have been robbed. So, they asked me if I could go back to them to pick them up at the hotel. I said, "Yes, ma'am. Give me 20 minutes to get back there," then I hung up the phone.
When I got there, the girl accused me of being one of the accomplices of those who robbed them. To be honest, I wanted to laugh at them, accusing me after what I did to them, so I told them, "Ma'am and sir, didn't I warn you to hide your important things before you leave?" And then she said, "Yes, but how do you know that they are going to rob our wallets? What should we do?" And I said, "I've been a driver for three decades and counting, and I know this place very well. We can go to the police and report the incident."
We went to the police to report the incident and get back to the hotel where they are staying, and I told them to wait for the police to call them for any updates. Before I left them, they apologized to me for accusing me, but then I told them that it was okay because I knew that they were new to this place.
After what happened that day, I decided to go home. I always wondered what people said online about the places that tourists could visit. They are just saying the positive side of the places, not the negative side. All the passengers that I have given rides to—some of them were tourists—have visited places where criminality is high. Although the place is good, the food is good, and the view is good, but the people are sometimes so greedy that they take advantage of or harm other people to earn money and consider that their job. I hope that people, especially tourists, can also see the negative side of the places they want to visit so they know what to do, or at least give them information so they can be safe. And the police should patrol that area from time to time to prevent crime, especially during the Christmas season when many people go there.

Welcome to my Blog. I am Rochelle B. Tanyag, Let me present to you my autobiography about my traumatic experience in Quiapo Manila where this trauma teaches me and changes me. Traumatic experience that I don't want others to experience that's why I wrote this autobiography.
My name is Rochelle B. Tanyag, and I am currently in college studying criminology at the Philippine College of Criminology which is located at 641 Sales Street, City of Manila, Metro Manila, or within Quiapo Manila. Quiapo is a district in the bustling, busy, and crowded city of Manila. I am writing an autobiographical essay, a story about a traumatic event in my life and how it changed me as a responsive girl. I am writing about my experience with a thief who acts like a concerned citizen in Quiapo. I am writing this to show what I learned and tell how this event changed me as a responsible girl. It all happened when I and my family went to Quiapo on Sunday to go to Quiapo church and buy some of our needs there in Quiapo. On that day, after we were done praying inside the Quiapo church we went outside the church to buy our needs and suddenly when we finished buying everything we needed and were on our way to wait for a taxi, we forgot to buy my brother's shirt and we because my younger brother needs it for his everyday use went back to the store to look for it. Unfortunately, when we came back a man asked us if we needed a bigger plastic bag because we have a lot of things to carry and we said that it was not necessary. The man pretended to be concerned about us without knowing that he had bad intentions for us. After we bought my brother's shirt, we left the store without noticing that my phone was missing. My cell phone was in my pocket and I put it in my pocket because I also carry some bags that we bought. I was shocked and scared to tell my parents that my phone was missing and I was so scared because that cellphone had all of my social media accounts that the thief might open and use my accounts to chat with my friends and relatives and pretend that I am using my phone. And suddenly my dad asked us if we had forgotten to buy or had forgotten anything and I answered that I didn't know where my cell phone is, my dad told us that said that maybe I just misplaced the cell phone in the plastic that we are all carrying and we looked it in every plastic that we are carrying with us and there was nothing. Until we went back to all the stores that we went from maybe one of the sellers found my cell phone and returned them to us but when we went back to all the stores we went there was none of them picked it up and I remember that the man who pretended to be nice to us and offered a big plastic stands behind me and I remember that my cellphone was placed at my back and the man also stands at my back when he offered us the big plastic bag. I was so sad and I realized after my phone was gone that going to Quiapo is not a safe place to be not responsible with your valuable things because you don't know in this place who really cares about you or who has bad intentions toward you and I also remember on that day what my parents always tell us that there are many thieves in Quiapo so we should be careful and be responsible on our valuable things, especially with our wallets and cellphones. After that incident, I became more responsible with my things when I went to crowded places.
I'm Alexandra Encina a student of criminology presenting a poem about the reason behind such criminal actions, motivations, and frailties that lead to criminal behavior. This website does not intend to hurt or insult anyone, but it does raise awareness among readers.
The Reason
As my family starve from hunger
All these decisions make me a Junker
A cruel life is where I live
Longing for the dream I used to strive
Was there more of a reason to be this torn?
Locked up in the bars as I Mourn
When I committed a crime, I became a corpse
It was not my choice but a wind of a force
I did everything I could to support their needs
Even if it means my hand will bleeds
I cannot bear to see them weak
All the actions I’ve done are to speak
Mistakes have become my habit to survive
I know, I was deprived
I wonder if my mistake did anything good
Hoping in the Dark not be misunderstood
