In a Facebook post, the PCG said candidate Coast Guardsman (CCGM) Briane Navarro was patrolling around the area when he recovered an unattended clutch bag in one of the check-in counters of NAIA Terminal 2 and immediately searched for its owner. 

The bag contains important documents and a cash worth 8,000 Saudi Riyal or around P102,000. 

The PCG said the 35-year-old owner thanked Navarro and said that she unintentionally left the bag while she was undergoing quarantine procedure at the airport.
