BAGUIO CITY—A taho vendor who found a bag containing P150,000 in cash and documents at the Lion’s Head tourist spot along Kennon Road chose to return it to its rightful owner without hesitation.
Manuelito Bonifacio, a father of three, earns a modest living selling taho at the landmark daily. He spotted the unattended bag during his rounds but only checked it after it remained unclaimed for over an hour.
Upon opening it, he found a large amount of money and documents with the owner’s contact details. Bonifacio reached out and promptly returned the bag with all items intact.
The vendor said he never considered keeping the money, believing that doing good brings good karma. “What was in my mind was to return it right away,” he said.
The bag’s owner later recovered it and offered Bonifacio a reward, which the taho vendor humbly declined.
