The Civil Aviation Authority Of the Philippines (CAAP) was able to highlight anew its core values of integrity and honesty in public service when another airport janitor returned money he found while in the course of his work recently.

CAAP recently honored Rommel Nanio, a facility cleaner at the Legazpi Airport in Bicol, for returning a bag left by a passenger at the airport’s pre-departure area last Friday.

Rommel Nanio, a facility cleaner at Legazpi Airport returned a bag left by a passenger at the airport's pre-departure area Friday.

The bag, containing 25 pieces of $100 bills, P25,868 in cash, and other important documents, belonged to Manila-bound passenger Cesar Ballano.

Shortly after Nanio reported finding the misplaced bag, it was examined by the CAAP Security and Intelligence Service (CSIS) to verify its contents.

The bag and its contents are now under the care of Philippine Airlines (PAL) for the turn over to its owner.

Nanio, expecting nothing in return, showcased CAAP's core values of integrity and honesty in the course of his service to the public.
