KORONADAL CITY — A tricycle driver in this city offered free rides on Wednesday as his way of expressing gratitude after his daughter passed the recent Social Work licensure examination.
Juven Paniza, 47, offered free rides to passengers going to destinations within the city.
Paniza posted a notice at the front of his motorcab saying he is offering the rides for free as a form of thanksgiving for daughter Jona Mae’s recent success.
Paniza has been a transport worker for some 20 years. It is his main source of income to provide for his family’s needs.
On a typical day, Paniza would earn up to P700.
Jona Mae, 23, graduated from Ramon Magsaysay Memorial College Marbel, Inc. last July. She took the board examination on Sept. 19 to 21.
The young social worker said her passing the licensure exam was “an answered prayer” and crowning glory of her parents’ sacrifices.
