    Subject: for taxi riders!
    WARNING!!! PLS.
    READ!!! TAXI COMMUTERS!!
    Just to give you a warning, avoid riding
    cabs with names like WALLIS, ROMCAT, LUCKY8. All these taxis are owned by just one family and most
    of its drivers are muggers, rapists or simply
    swindlers. According to the driver who is the source of this information, he used to work for
    the said company but lasted for only 2
    days since he couldnt bear the
    idea of "panggagantso". He said there is
    no single unit of this company that doesnt cheat. Each and every car that they own has
    "batingting" that is used to manipulate
    the taxi meter.
    Further, the driver also informed that the
    owners hire anyone even if
    the person has a criminal record. As a
    matter of fact, the owners are
    fully aware of their drivers' misconduct yet
    they turn a blind eye on
    it coz what matters most to them is the
    boundary of their drivers
    that's to be given to them at the end of
    the day. He also said that prior to leaving, he
    found out that one of his
    co-drivers mugged his passenger and even
    touched her private parts.
    When the passenger filed a legal
    complaint about it, naturally the
    driver got apprehended but was released
    because of bail. Immediately
    the next day, the very same criminal was
    hired back by their company
    and was out driving his unit again.

    He said you will be able to recognize the
    taxi units of this company
    even at night since their taxi logos on top
    of their roof has a unique
    lighting. Instead of the usual yellow light
    on the "taxi" sign, theirs
    are red.
    Prior to writing this, there was a research
    about the taxi company and
    it was found out that they have been
    featured in one of the shows in
    GMA-7 (Imbestigador). Indeed they have
    proven that the drivers of this
    company are swindlers and muggers.
    If you care about your family, friends, co-
    workers, classmates and
    other people close to you, pass this
    information along. We can never
    tell who their next victim is.

    pwede rin namang another internet hoax / smear job against wallis, romcat & lucky8.

    there are the vague details, hearsay stories, name-dropping of known shows & the testimonial.

    well, in any case, alam ko kung nasan yung casa ng mga yan (wallis). it's right here in Kalayaan Avenue, Diliman, Q.C. Aba, kung maka park along Kalayaan akala mo sa kanila yung daan! Anyway, madali lang 'yan. If there's any complaint against them, go directly to the LTO and file a complaint with a demand for revocation of franchise.

    actually i can say its true....

    normally 100-110 lang ang taxi ko from tandang sora to eastwood.

    umaabot ng 150 nung one time na nag wallis ako. eh i had no choice but to pay kasi late na din ako.

    tapos 200 yung pera ko, WALA DAW PANUKLI!!! pwede ba yun?? * 5:30pm?!

    That's a HOAX for sure. Nanjan lahat ng parts ng isang Hoax, kasama na ung concern to the readers.

    Paninirang puri ang tawag jan.

    Sino kayang taxi company ang may gawa nyan? Hmm...

    Ganyan din ang nangyari sa Bargo Libis.. a Hoax mail circulated. Tapos sarado na sila ngayon.
