A taxi driver in Davao City on Thursday returned a wallet containing P5, 000 and five dollars or a total of around P5, 254.42.
Ronel Rubias driver of Shammari Taxi No.1838 discovered that a passenger left the wallet at the backseat of his taxi on Thursday early morning.
The wallet also contained SSS ID and a calling card, identifying the owner as one Eduardo Lindo.
“I didn’t recognize his face but in his wallet there is a calling card that identifies the person as working with the Luzon-based Freight International Logistic INC,” said Rubias. “It is possible that I dropped off this passenger at the airport.”
Rubias said that he did not have any intention to keep the money.
He said the moment he saw the wallet, he immediately went to City Hall to report the lost wallet of his passenger.
During the Ispeak on Thursday his presence was acknowledged, describing him as an honest taxi driver.
There were no other details about Rubias as to his residence, status and length of service as a taxi driver.
It is also not known if the wallet was returned to Lindo as we go to press.
