Ruben Austria Sr. — a pedicab driver in Barangay Guadalupe, Cebu City — has gained fame for wearing a suit to work.

Yes, that’s right. He’s dressed as if he’s going to a posh office.

When asked about his outfit choice, Austria reportedly said in Cebuano, “This shows that I am serious about my job. My passengers also trust me more.”

Austria revealed that he earns around PHP200 per day. Then again, you can’t buy class — and he’s definitely got an abundance of that. (from an Umagang Kay Ganda report)
