Coast Guard candidate commended for returning envelope with P135,000
According to the PGC, Candidate Coast Guardswoman Lhea Diño was on her way home on Sept. 30 when she found a brown envelope containing P135,000 on the street.
“Nung una kong nakita yung pera, ninerbiyos po ako kasi ang laking halaga nito. Naisip ko baka pang-emergency ito. Baka may pasiyente sa ospital yung may-ari na nangangailangan talaga,” she said. Diño picked up the said envelope and immediately returned to the PCG headquarters at the Port Area in Manila even after her duty to report the incident and to begin the search for its owner.
Twenty minutes later, a civilian man went to the headquarters to claim the lost money. The said owner works as field operations assistant for a cargo and freight company at the Port Area. He said the money will be used for the operations of the company. “Lubos na nagpasalamat ang sibilyan sa maagap na aksyon ni CCGM Diño at ng iba pang Coast Guard personnel na nag-ingat sa pera mula sa mga mapansamantalang indibiduwal,” the PCG said. “Saludo kami sa iyo, CCGM Diño! Hanga kami sa iyong katapatan at integridad bilang isang lingkod bayan. Pinatunayan mo na ang PCG ay pamilya ng mga disiplinado at maaasahang Pilipino,” it added.
