"God is so so good!" This is what actress Camille Prats shared with fans online after she got her lost cellular phone back. She then related how it all came to be. According to her, the phone was "stolen" from her bag at the Philippine Arena. She was there for the BLACKPINK concert. The actress related how they were able to follow the location of her phone as it has a tracker installed. Together with her husband VJ, she went to a police station nearest to where the phone was traced to ask for assistance. "When we got there, we got in touch with someone from their homeowner's association to assist us as well as the village guards. VJ spoke to them the night before coz that's where they followed the phone. We knocked and asked the owners of the 2 houses if they chanced upon my phone which was lost in the arena. No mention of it getting stolen, we didn't want to accuse anyone of such thing, just really trying to explain to them that my phone can still be tracked on that exact location at baka napansin nila," she shared. "To no avail, they said they don't know anything about it and that nobody from their homes went to Philippine Arena. But clearly, the tracker says that the phone is there," she added. After a while, they went back to the police station. It was then they noticed the phone changed its location based on the tracker. "From the house where we went to, it can now be located near IBP road. We left to follow it together with the police officers," she said. "The phone moved again and was located at Shopwise Commonwealth Ave. We followed it together with the police officers." They gave up after a few hours. Camille related how it felt like they were chasing a mouse. Surprisingly, the phone moved location again. It was now in a police precinct. They eventually confirmed that it had been dropped there via motorcycle delivery. "VJ and I were both in tears. We were praying the moment we left the house, on the road, before going down to the police station. It's both our first time to ever go to a police station to ask for help, we didn't know what to expect. We just prayed and prayed that things will fall into place and that God will help us find it," she said. "And He did. only He alone can change people's hearts and that probably led the person who has my phone to eventually surrender it back. They could've easily dumped it or threw it anywhere." Camille's realization? "Don't be scared to ask for help." She related how the police officers who assisted them throughout were very helpful. "They didn't know at first it was me, I was wearing a hat and a mask. They attended to us and helped us immediately. It was the people in the houses we went to who actually recognized me (medyo shookt ata sila kung bakit ako nandun)." The former child star capped off her post by reiterating that "Kindess always prevails." "God knows our hearts and we really wanted to deal with this as peacefully as we can. No harsh words, no accusations. Never ending pakiusap lang talaga," she said. "The amazing power of prayers. Looking for a lost phone can seem impossible. From Bulacan to Caloocan to Commonwealth to Batasan Precinct. Ang daming pinagdaanan. VJ and I remained hopeful that we will get it back," she continued. "Who would've thought na babalik yung phone not by force from the person who has it but by him simply sending it to a police station to return it. Only God can make that happen."
