PAGADIAN CITY, Zamboanga del Sur, July 14 (PNA)
– The local police has commended a tricycle driver who demonstrated exemplary
honesty by returning a wallet containing cash, a check and an ATM card he found
on a street in this city last week.
Local police chief Supt. Glenn Dulawan
identified the driver as Alejandro Mendoza, 36, of Barangay Tuburan, this city.
Dulawan said on Monday that Mendoza turned over
to them last July 8 a brown wallet containing a driver’s license, company
identification card (ID), automated teller machine (ATM) card, P2,460 in check
and P6,960 cash.
Dulawan said the wallet belonging to Samuel
Delima of NDV Rosario Heights VIII, Cotabato City was found by Mendoza along
Roxas St. in Barangay San Pedro here.
He said the ATM has an existing balance of
P98,000. Its Personal Identification Number (PIN) is written at the back of the
card.
“Such act manifested great virtues from a lowly
tricycle driver who is struggling to make both ends meet,” he said.
Dulawan has written Mayor
Romeo Pulmones recommending the giving of due recognition to Mendoza for
exemplary honesty. (PNA)
