The Parable of the Jeepney Driver | by Benedict Abulencia

Once there was a jeepney driver named Kuya Daniel who had a very, very big heart for helping people, without hoping for favors to be returned and without airing his good deeds to people.  He was assisted by his conductor cum sidekick, Johnny, who always brought things to a, well, wacky turnout.

Kuya Daniel took care of several orphans and attended to all their needs, not to mention the needs of those who looked after them for him.  Aside from that, he was also always ready to respond to the needs of his fellowmen, especially his fellow drivers.  Thus, there was always this clamor of seating him as a replacement to the incumbent drivers’ association president, Ka Rene, who was known to be taking advantage of his members.

At one time, he was able to convince a young snatcher, Estong, to turn around from stealing.  Another time, he went out of his way to rescue several children enslaved by a gang from being sold to unscrupulous foreigners.

When one of his wards got sick and needed a big amount for an operation, Kuya Daniel had an encounter with the corrupt Congressman Ricardo who wanted to capitalize on the child’s sickness for his political ambitions.  Bearing a grudge against the driver, the evil politician took away his adoptees and filed kidnapping against him.

When the silent Good Samaritan seeks the help of his friend Police Colonel Cuevas regarding the suit, Ricardo directs the child trafficking gang to kidnap Kuya Daniel and pressures Cuevas not to favor his long-time pal.  During the torture inflicted upon Kuya Daniel, divine intervention helps the two friends not only to put an end to the gang but also silence the bad lawmaker.  Three months later, doctors were able to find the sick orphan an alternative to being operated, thus requiring less money for her treatment.
