NAIA security guard returns bag containing P1.4 million in cash

A security guard at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport has returned to its owner a bag that contained P1.4 million in cash.

According to Mark Salazar's report on "24 Oras", security guard Albert Bautista also returned a bag containing a huge amount of money to a foreigner in 2017.

“Hindi po natin kailangang angkinin ang hindi sa atin, hindi ko po gagawin yun. Hindi po ganoon ang pagpapalaki sa amin ng mga magulang ko po,” Bautista said.

Bautista had been given a commendation letter by Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) general manager Cesar Chiong for his honesty.

The owner of the bag also rewarded him.

“Mineet niya po ako kahapon doon sa may boarding gate po [mga] 1 p.m. doon ko po siya nakausap sa taas, sa boarding gate po, Gate 14," Bautista said.

"Nagpapasalamat nga raw po siya dahil sa akin kung ibang tao po ang nakadampot wala na raw po siyang aasahan. Mahirap po talaga ang buhay sa ngayon pero yung mga ganoong hindi po natin kailangan talagang paginteresan,” he added. —Richa Noriega/NB, GMA Integrated News
