Cherry Nietes, David Makabutas and company.

A cherry's blessing

Nope, I'm not referring to a blessing given by a fruit. But, like the cherry, this blessing may come in a small package but it brings with it the benefits of safe and convenient transport, lesser fuel expense and a better life for the driver. This is about the Zorex Cherry Taxi, which recently held its blessing at its garage in Compania, Molo.
