Kapuso Pop Rocker Anthony Rosaldo shares a heartwarming story of recovering his lost wallet thanks to the kindness of others.

The former The Clash finalist asked for help from his Facebook followers after he lost his wallet at the parking lot last May 30 when he joined the first-ever Sparkle Run in Manila.

To his surprise, someone personally reached out to inform him that they found his wallet.

Recalling what happened, he wrote online, “On May 30 after the Sparkle Run, nag-post ako about an incident na di ko ineexpect. Nawala ko yung wallet ko sa parking area.

“Hindi lang siya basta wallet for me. Yes, may value siya given that it is branded, pero mas nangibabaw talaga yung sentimental value because I just bought it during my recent trip to Japan. It reminded me of a very happy memory I wanted to keep with me everyday. Nandoon din yung mga ATM cards, credit card, ID, and important things na sobrang hassle kapag nawala.

“That day, I posted on Facebook hoping na baka may mabuting taong nakapulot.

“To be honest, habang iniisip ko yung pagkawala, napapaisip din ako na baka hindi ko na talaga makita ulit. Kasi sa panahon ngayon, ang dali mawalan ng tiwala sa tao. Ang dali isipin na “wala na yan.”

“But the next day, May 31 at night, may nag-message sa akin.”

The Kapuso singer was relieved that after two days, his wallet was returned and it reminded him that with all the negative things happening right now, we must believe in the good heart of people.

Anthony stated, “A stranger. Sinabi nila na nakita nila yung wallet ko. Hindi nila ako personally kilala, pero nakilala nila ako from TV and they took the effort to search for me on Facebook para maibalik yung wallet. Hindi nila itinago. Hindi nila ginalaw. Hindi nila pinag-interesan.

“And on June 1, finally nakuha ko ulit yung wallet ko. Complete. Safe. Buong-buo.”

“Honestly, hindi lang relief yung naramdaman ko. It felt like God was reminding me that even in a world full of negativity, greed, and bad news, marami pa ring mabubuting tao. Tahimik lang sila. Hindi sila maingay. Pero sila yung tunay na nagbibigay pag-asa sa mundo.

He stressed, “ And sana, sa lahat ng makakabasa nito, maging reminder ito: If you have the chance to do good, do it. If you have the chance to help, help. If you have the chance to be honest, choose honesty. Because kindness is contagious.”

Aside from being a performer in the musical variety show All-Out Sundays, Anthony also displays his talents in singing, acting, and dancing by joining musical plays like Rent and Ang Huling El Bimbo.
