Esyldra Alfeche Compracion, supply Police Non-commissioned Officer of the Police Regional Office 13-Regional Comptrollership Division (PRO 13-RCD), drove her child to school before heading to work around 7:30 a.m. when she noticed a wallet in the pathway of the Agusan National High School in this city. The wallet contained P6,000 cash, identification cards (IDs), and driver’s license of Junrey P. Samson, 31, driver, and resident of Barangay Maguinda, this city. Since the owner’s contact number was not indicated on his IDs, Compracion immediately sought the assistance of the PRO-13 Public Information Office (PIO) here to spread the information online. A concerned citizen saw the post on Facebook and contacted Junrey right away. The owner, who got his wallet at PRO-13 PIO, disclosed that at first he thought he only left his wallet at home. “Dili matukib ang akong kalipay, ang akong mga ID ang importante pud ani (I'm so happy, my IDs are equally very important here),” said the worried driver. “I can't thank you enough for your kindness. I was anxious I wouldn't be able to do my work because I lost my driver's license,” Samson added. With the God-fearing policewoman, PRO-13 Director Police Brig. Gen. Pablo G. Labra II commended the lawman for embodying the true essence of what it means to be a police officer. “Hindi pinag-usapan dito kung magkano ang laman ng pitaka,” Labra said. “PRO-13 commends PSSg Compracion whose actions not only earned her respect and admiration but also reaffirmed the trust and faith the community places in our hands,” he said. “She had shown the public that even in the smallest of acts, a police officer can make a difference.”
