| Tri-Sikad Driver | A stolen shot of a driver going to Ortiz Street This picture was taken by Reynan Lim and on the streets of Iloilo City. |
I always notice them, every corner street around the city, they are called tri-sikad drivers. One time I was asking myself on how much money could they earn in that kind of living? Do they have a family to feed, and so on. I am always curious.
I grew up going to school and back riding this vehicles "tri-sikad" I don't know what is tri-sikad in English but it is obvious at the picture.
I tried to ask one of these drivers on how much can they earn everyday, 150 - 200 pesos and more. Now everyday I would always ride a tri-sikad going to school and giving them at least 20 to 25 pesos per ride.
I admire these kind of people, working hard for them to live in a city like this. They are able to feed their family, enrolled their children to college and have time to be a father to their family.
How about you do you support them? for me I am supporting them and I am proud to say that they are also part of my inspiration to continue, never give up because one day everything will be just fine.
