9. Philippines taxi driver returns lost cash worth US$17,000
Imagine this, a 45 year old Filipino motorcab taxi driver, named Iluminado Boc,
was behind on rent and had an ailing wife at home. Then one day one of his
customers left a bag in his cab containing $17,000 (USD). This is equivalent to
about 800,000 pesos. He would have been one of the richest men in his town if
he kept this bag! But instead of keeping it for himself, he goes to the police and
says, "It was not mine." Roughly around the same time, the original customer
who owned the bag came to report it missing to the same police station.
He was rewarded $32.00 by the original owner.
While the money would have certainly helped out his family, Mr. Boc remained
honest. Clearly, this man deserved more than $32.00, but at the very least he
can keep what can't be bought or lost: his character.
