A racist bus driver has earned the netizens’ ire after he allegedly refused to let an old Igorot wearing traditional attire ride the bus.
“Sya po yung igorot na hindi pinasakay ng driver ng bus dahil sa suot nya, kahit may pambayad at nakiusap si manong ayaw talaga sya pasakayin kawawa naman si manong, hindi makatao ang ginawa sa kanya, share po natin para mabigyan ng leksyon yung driver ng bus…” Dhrins Laurente Napeek wrote in a post on Facebook, sharing several photos of an old Igorot man.
The post was quickly picked up by many Facebook pages, including Tambayan ni Berto Worldwide where it went viral.
A lot of netizens expressed anger at the bus driver for what he did to this old man but others were skeptic about what really happened, saying that it was possible the uploader had just made up the story for attention.
“Tumaas ang bp ko sa driver na to ah.wala kang puso.tao din po yan at aware na tayo sa katutubong kasuotan ng mga kapatid nating mga Igorot anong problema bakit di mo pinasakay?may araw ka rin kuya tandaan mo yan” one netizen wrote.
But not everyone got angry at the driver.
“Ang tanong yun po ba ang totoong dahilan?sa caption mong yan nakausap mo ba si manong igorot at si manong driver?para saken kung ang caption mo na sa nagpost nito “nakausap ko si manong igorot ayaw daw sya pasakayin” ganun etc. kase kadalasan sa post ang hihilig magpost ng di naman alam ang totoong dahilan kung bakit ganito bakit ganun…ang hihilig din mag comment na ganito ganun…eh wala naman sa pangyayare ang daming magaling manghula sa pangyayare…di po ako nakikipag away huh ang akin lang make sure kung yun tlga ang dahilan andami kase saten hilig sa ganito ganun?

It got to a point that Napeek deleted his original post because of the negative attention it was getting and because a lot of people were angry at him.
But what had really happened? Did Napeek just make the story up without asking the old man?
