Cabbie stops for lotto

THE EAR - The Freeman

May 10, 2023 | 12:00am

SELFISH. A man who flagged down a cab because he was running late got the shock of his life when the cabbie asked to stop for a while so he could bet on lotto. The man begged that they go on as he was late, but the cabbie wouldn’t be stopped and got out of the taxi.

Angry, the man left the taxi after the cabbie did and hailed another taxi.

“Mayra ba’g modaog ka sa lotto,” he was heard saying.
