A new journey is set to start on May 9 in a community located down southeast. People will choose who will drive the jeepney. To be the driver is the most coveted position in the community.

Driver 1,2,3,4&5: I am a good driver. I can take you to a better place. Choose me.

Most of the Passengers: Yes! Thank you Driver 1! You are our savior! You are the only one who can take us there.

Driver 2, 3, and 4 and their supporters : Driver 1 is incapable. He is arrogant and boastful. He is sick. He is on drugs. You should not let him drive. It’s dangerous! Heed!

Driver 1’s supporters: You are jealous because we like him! Back off! We like him and only him can take us to a better place.

Driver 2: But, he is a killer-driver. Yes, he killed bad people but he killed some innocent people as well. Especially kids. They were kids playing on the street and because he thought kids should not play on the street, he bumped onto them, crashed and killed them. He is dangerous! Let me drive you and I will take you to a better place. I will give the poor a free ride.

Driver 1’s supporters: That’s good for those kids! They should be killed! They’re a menace to the society! They disturb traffic! No! We won’t let you drive. We don’t like you because of rumors that you are a thief.

Driver 2: That’s not true! I did not steal anything. They just said that to ruin me. They can’t even prove it.

Driver 1’s supporters: We still like Driver 1. He is so cool. He is the only one. He keeps his house clean. In fact, his house is the cleanest and safest house in the community.

Driver 3: No! It’s not clean. I know. There are roaches all over! Roaches eat the rotten food. They’re everywhere. His son feeds the roaches and he can’t even stop him. I know where we can get the rotten food in his house. I can show you.

Driver 1’s supporters: You are crazy! You can show us?? Hmmm… Maybe you also play with rotten food. You are a roach-feeder yourself! Back off! We don’t like you! You said you will take us to a straight road but we don’t believe you!

Driver 4: Don’t let him drive! Let me drive instead. I am calm and I don’t say bad words like him and I have a good plan for our journey. I value women because I am a woman myself. He is a womanizer. He joked about rape. Not a good example. He even cursed the priest. It’s not godly.

Driver 1’s supporters: Shut up! It’s just a joke. We like it. It’s funny. It’s so cool. He is one of us. You are ambitious! You are just an inexperienced woman. You are not even a pure member of this society! You just moved in! 

Driver 5: I am the best! Choose me. I am intelligent and has a length of experience. I am tough.

Driver 1’s supporters: We know you are good but you are sick and you may die anytime. So, we will choose Driver 1. Will you just stop your dream to be the driver and support Driver 1 instead?

Conductor Aspirant: Driver 1 is a thief! A secret thief! He steals your money just like Driver 2. I know his secret box. Ben P. Isidro is keeping it in his house. I know how much money is in the box. I counted it. It’s true! I quit my job if it’s not true!

Driver 1’s supporters: You are bad! You are a barking dog! How did you know about the secret box? Hmmm…Ben P. Isidro is not good, huh! Why can’t he protect a secret? We’re not going to trust Ben P. Isidro anymore. We thought he is a good secret-keeper but he’s not. Friends, let us boycott Ben P. Isidro.

Those are all accusations! We love Driver 1. He is the only one who can save us! 

Driver 1: Thank you, thank you! Yes, don’t believe them. You don’t need to scrutinize. Just believe me. I will take you to a better place.
