The Bureau of Immigration (BI) on Wednesday lauded one of its immigration officers (IO) for his honesty after returning more than PHP56,000 cash a passenger had misplaced at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3.<\/p>\n
In a statement, BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco said the act of Vincent Estacio is a testament to the quality of public servants in the government.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe office lauds Immigration Officer III Vincent Estacio for setting a good example to other public servants. His actions show that there are still a lot of good people in government,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The BI gave a certificate of recognition to Estacio last Sept. 4.<\/p>\n
On Aug. 14, Estacio reportedly turned over a brown envelope containing around PHP56,871 in cash to the Manila International Airport Authority\u2019s (MIAA) lost and found section.<\/p>\n
\u201cNaawa ako sa may-ari kasi naisip ko na baka panggastos niya ito sa pag biyahe niya abroad (I feel bad for the owner because I imagined this was his pocket money during his trip abroad),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Estacio waited for someone to claim the envelope he found during his usual rounds in the departure area. However, no one claimed the item.<\/p>\n
Estacio works as a duty supervisor at the NAIA Terminal 3. (PNA)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
