Honest taxi driver in Cebu returns passenger’s wallet without any hesitation
A taxi driver in Mandaue City, Cebu did a remarkable act as he returned the wallet left by his passenger.
Because of his honesty, Roel Medillo received salute from many people.
Based on the article recently published in the News section of ABS-CBN, last Monday, April 2, the 44-year old taxi driver returned the wallet at Bantay Mandaue Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office in Mandaue City.
It was said that the owner of the said wallet was identified to be a senior citizen named Redemta Lauron.
Aside from different identification cards, the wallet also contained P8,000.
According to the statement of Medillo, Lauron rode his taxi from the town of Consolacio to Mandaue City.
Furthermore, the honest taxi driver stated that it did not come to his mind to take advantage of the situation and keep the wallet for himself.
That was the conviction of Medillo despite the fact that he is struggling to provide for his wife Marjorie and their three children as a taxi driver.
Until now, the Bantay Mandaue Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office is still locating the owner of the said wallet left in Medillo’s taxi, based on the article.
These days, act of honesty like this is not so common anymore.
It is not already new to the public that there are some people or even groups of people who are taking advantage of their fellow men, especially when it comes to money.
On the other hand, people like Roel Medillo showed that there are still honest men out there, ready to extend a helping hand and be a blessing to others.
The country or even the world needs more people like him to spread goodness every single day in every possible time and way.
