A LADY guard at the Clark International Airport turned over to her superiors a wallet with cash amounting to more than P182,000 which was apparently left behind by a passenger at the airport’s greeters’ area last January 1.
Clark International Airport Corp. (CIAC) president Jaime Alberto Melo said aviation security personnel Lorna Brinosa turned over a wallet containing approximately P182,000 to airport operations officers who listed the money as lost and an unclaimed item.
Except for the cash, there was no identification card or any document found inside the wallet.
Brinosa, 39, a security guard of the 888 Gallant Security Corporation assigned at the landside commercial area of the airport terminal, discovered the wallet on the floor of a nearby light post.
“We commend the honesty of Ms. Brinosa as other persons of lesser character might have kept the cash since the wallet has no ID of owner. We further assure passengers of Clark airport’s strict policy to immediately turn over or return lost or abandoned items to their rightful owners,” Melo said.
Clark airport is averaging around 11,500 passengers daily and registers a weekly average of 726 combined domestic and international flights.
