“In these times of financial crisis and where morals are outplayed [by] love or greed for money, seldom can you find the likes of Mr. Mungcal,” Paulino said.

Mungcal said he has no interest in keeping things that do not belong to him.

“The first thing that came to my mind when I found those things was that the owners needed them. It didn’t cross my mind to keep someone else’s belongings for myself,” Mungcal said.

The city has been running the “Honesto” campaign, which recognizes honest people in the city who return lost valuable items and money.

In previous months, mall security guards and drivers were cited for their honesty after returning lost items to the city government. Allan Macatuno, Inquirer Central Luzon
