Netizen shares encounter with taxi-hailing Chel Diokno: 'Baka kapalaran niya ay maging Pangulo, hindi senador'

A certain Eric Oebanda shared on Facebook a photo of senatorial candidate Chel Diokno boarding a taxi which recently went viral on social media.

Oebanda said that he spotted Diokno while waiting for a taxi and was humbly letting him take the vehicle when one arrived.

The netizen, who also admitted to voting Diokno decided to let him take the taxi because of his old age.

“Makikipag-agawan pa sana ako, pero medyo may edad na siya. Bitbit niya ang kanyang trademark na bag at mga envelope, he even signaled na kunin ko na ang taxi. Sabi ko ok lang po, then he smiled and tumakbo na papunta sa loob,” Oebanda wrote

“Palagi tayong naghahanap ng lider na matalino, may tunay na malasakit, simple at may mababang kalooban. Pero sinayang natin ang pagkakataon na pwede sana manungkulan ang katulad niya. Sayang!” he added

He also said that being a senator may not be Diokno’s fate after all.

“Baka ang kapalaran ni Mang Chel ay hindi maging senador, baka ang kapalaran ng mamang ito ay maging Pangulo… Maybe he is the ‘real change’ that we all actually been (sic) yearning for,” he said.

For some reason, after Oebanda’s post was shared thousand times as of May 30, he took it down.
