Veteran journalist Kara David commended a delivery rider after she forgot to bring her blazer to an event she was invited as a guest.
On Wednesday, August 27, the broadcast journalist shared that she had left her cover-up in Quezon City while attending an event in Makati organized by member associations of the Ad Standards Council.
“My life saver today. May event ako sa Makati, tapos nakalimutan ko blazer ko sa QC. Mabuti na lang ang bait ng aking na-book na delivery rider,” David wrote on a Facebook post.
“Salamat, sir Christian Montealegre, sa mabilis na paghatid ng aking blazer, kahit super traffic! Whew! Ride safe po!” she added.
David also shared a photo of the blazer she asked Montealegre to deliver while she attended the “Patas na Patalastas: The National Summit on Fair and Progressive Advertising Self-Regulation” at a Makati hotel.
Her post has gained 5,900 likes and reactions and more than 90 comments, with some Filipinos sharing similar sentiments.
“Saludo sa mababait at mapagkakatiwalaan na mga riders… good luck, Ma’am Kara,” a Facebook user wrote.
“Ang sarap sa feeling kapag may mga ganitong mababait na rider,” another commented.
“Nice po, sir, more powers… mabuhay po ang mga katulad [niyo],” a different Pinoy said.
In the comments section, David said she used Lalamove, a delivery service app.
She attended the Ad Standards Council’s event as a guest on the “Truth-Telling and Truth-Selling” panel, which discussed “upholding honesty in the era of disinformation.”
She was accompanied by Rappler co-founder and CEO Maria Ressa and Louie Ignacio, chair of the University of Santo Tomas Sociology Department.
