Airport worker’s honesty earns praise from Tacloban city council

TACLOBAN CITY, July 22 (PNA) -- The Tacloban City Council passed a resolution commending honesty of a porter at the city airport here.

Ricardo Moreno earned the praise of netizens after a story of him returning a box he found at the airport’s arrival area was spread over social media.

Last week, Moreno was on his casual daily routine when found a box lying under the conveyor belt of the arrival area. He immediately took the package and turned it over to the security department.

He later found out that that the box contained Php21,000 cash, chocolates and other personal items
Vice Mayor Jerry T. Yaokasin said Moreno will be invited to the council’s next session so the commendation will be presented to him personally.

The official is hopeful that the city government will give him a small reward in recognition of his honesty.

This is not first time that Moreno reported to the airport security cash and valuable items found within the airport’s premise, but this was the first time that his honesty was spread through a Facebook post of an employee of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines.

“When I saw the box, I had only one thing in mind. That box was not mine. It belongs to someone,” Moreno said. (PNA)
