Driving instructor George Pamilacan of Sunbury Driving School, with 29 years under his (seat)belt, has mentored them all - from ordinary people to a future Hollywood celebrity -- but the ones closest to his heart are those with what he calls 'learning disabilities'.


He says these people think they don' t deserve to drive on the road as many of them have older friends with similar conditions, even in their '30s, have not driven at all.

Pamilacan says his patience gives these people the courage in pursuing to learn and gain confidence to drive.

He shares his story.
