Laguindingan, Philippines (July 18, 2024) – In a heartwarming display of integrity, Joshua Bustamante, an LSERV airport facility cleaner at Laguindingan Airport, earned recognition for his quick thinking and honesty. On July 8th, Mr. Bustamante’s keen eye spotted an unattended bag left on a pushcart in the airport’s arrival area.
The bag, later discovered to contain P50,000 (approximately $1,000 USD), could have easily gone unnoticed amidst the hustle and bustle of incoming passengers.
However, Mr. Bustamante’s commitment to his work and strong moral compass led him to promptly report the bag to airport management.
