Manila airport officials have lauded the honesty of a screening officer who found and returned a lost wallet containing ₱84,603.
The worker found the wallet behind the Final Security Screening Checkpoint of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport – Terminal 2.
Security Screening Officer (SSO) Searjie Kixxs Peñaflor was on duty at the checkpoint when he discovered the wallet. He immediately informed his supervisor, Rosie Oller who had the recovered item announced through the airport’s paging system.
A passenger bound for Puerto Princesa on Philippine Airlines flight PR 2785 subsequently claimed ownership of the wallet. Authorities vetted the passenger’s identification before giving him the item.
OTS Administrator Crizaldo Nieves commended Peñaflor for his good deed and acknowledged the efforts of other SSOs in maintaining integrity and honesty in the service.
Meanwhile, Christian James Andres, a security and intelligence service officer of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) also turned in a black wallet containing cash left by the owner at Puerto Princesa International Airport.
