Taxi Driver Who Returned A Smartphone, Scolded by Ungrateful Owner

A video of of an ungrateful smartphone owner went viral on social media as he blamed the taxi driver for not returning his beloved smartphone sooner instead of showing gratitude and appreciation for the latter's effort just to return it to him.

With almost 5 million views and counting, the video of Raffy Tulfo on his program "Raffy Tulfo In Action", is about the humble taxi driver who returned Luigi Lim's smartphone. Mr. Lim who is an OFW who works as a nurse in Singapore, seem to be unhappy that his smartphone is finally back. 

Mr. Lim said that he was about to return to Singapore and his vacation was ruined because of his lost smartphone. He said that he lost his smartphone on Friday night and he was not able to make money transfers and do business transactions because of that and thing could have been different if only Roberto Elliot, the taxi driver, returned sooner.

The taxi driver said on his affidavit that he found the smartphone on Saturday morning. He went to the studio but he said it was closed, he was finally able to return the phone on Tuesday. He also mentioned that he doesn't know how to use the said device.

It explains why the owner monitored that the iPhone was on, 2 times, with the use of an app connected to his iPad. Mr. lim said he already ask the Singapore service provider to deactivate the phone.

Mr. Raffy Tulfo, sensing that the phone owner seem to blame the taxi driver instead of showing gratitude, scolded the phone owner. 

Mr. Tulfo stressed that the taxi driver lacking of adequate knowledge about the smartphone, took effort to return the item and instead of receiving acknowledgement and thanks, he got blamed and scolded by the supposed to be grateful owner of the lost item.

He also said that Mr. Lim's lost is caused by his own negligence and not to be blamed to the taxi driver.

Mr. Tulfo still handed the reward money to the taxi driver saying that the acknowledgement of the owner is not needed anymore. He then apologized to Mr. Lim for the harsh words he uttered.

He also told the taxi driver that he has done nothing wrong and he was just being honest  and a good person by returning the item to its owner, but the owner just doesn't know how to appreciate his kindness.

The Torchbearer

The God of the Great Endeavor gave me a torch to Bear.

I lifted it high above me in the dark and murky air.

Straightway and loud hosannas the crowd acclaimed its light.

And followed me as I carried my torch through the dark and starless night.

Till mad with the people’s praises and drunken with vanity,

I forgot it was the Torch that drew them

And fancied they followed me.

And my arm grew sore and weary upholding the shiny load,

And my tired feet went stumbling over the hilly road.

I fell, the torch beneath me, in a moment the flame was out.

But lo! From the throng a stripling sprang forth with a mighty shout,

Caught up the torch as it smouldered and lifted it high again,

Till fanned by the winds of heaven it fired the souls of men.

As I lay alone in the darkness,

The feet of the trampling crowd, pass over and beyond me,

Their praises proclaimed aloud.

And I learned in the deepening shadow this glorious verity,

T’is the torch the people follow, who ‘ere the bearer be.

I copied this poem
from the desk of my mission president when I was called as an Assistant to him
on my mission a decade ago.

Wherever I go, this poem is a constant reminder to me to be humble especially if you are called to lead. Those who have been called to serve should remember always, despite the adulation and abounding praise and vanities we will receive, we are there to direct people's attention and life to Him, we are instrument to His hands, whatever path of destiny we are are traversing, our simple pride will always be sublime to the praise and glory of our God.
