Honest Taxi Driver, NAIA Staff Return P920K Worth Of Cash To Rightful Owners
About Php 920,000 worth of cash was returned to its rightful
owners in two separate incidents at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
Airport General Manager Ed Monreal said the incidents were
reported last January 19 and January 21 at NAIA Terminal 3.
“The honesty of the Taxi Driver and Wheelchair Attendant
plus the immediate assistance provided by our Airport Police proves that
coordination is essential in the recovery and I praised them all,” he said.
The first incident was reported by Airport Police Jamie Estrella,
who said a departing passenger identified as Benjamin Cantanero of Las PiƱas
accidentally left behind his bag inside a taxi.
Cantanero sought the help of Estrella, who used his
cellphone to contact Cantanero’s phone that was inside his bag.
Antonio Infanta, 71, of Bram Taxi, answered the call and
returned the bag containing Php 220,000 in cash and travel documents.
Estrella said Cantanero rewarded Infanta for his honesty
before proceeding to his flight.
The second incident involved an Overseas Filipino Worker
identified as Mary Jane Gane, who misplaced her bag with more than Php 700,000
in cash and valuables.
Airport Police Colonel William Dolot said Gane came from a
currency exchange booth. She intends to use the money to purchase a house for
her family.
Wheelchair Attendant Rizaldy Ocde found Gane’s bag and
notified Dolot. The bag was returned to Gane after authorities verified with
the currency exchange booth and the airport CCTV.
