A porter at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 has returned a lost black pouch containing P400,000 cash in what the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) described as a commendable act of honesty.
Irwin Rommel Diana said he found the black pouch between Bays 5 and 6 of the arrival curbside at aoround 7 a.m. on Friday, April 19.
When he opened it, he saw 70 pieces of $100 bills amounting to P400,000.
The 35-year old Diana has been working at NAIA for 14 years as a porter.
When asked why he returned the money, he said: "If it not yours, you have to return it to the rightful owner."
He returned the black pouch with the money to the lost and found section of NAIA.
On April 13, another porter from the same porterage company, Victor Perez, returned 100 pieces of $100 dollar bills.
MIAA General Manager Eric Ines said he will commend the two porters in a ceremony.
