Delivery rider goes viral for returning a wallet to its owner

• He said that someone that knows the owner saw his Facebook post and gave him the person’s contact details.
• It turns out that the owner is a security guard in SM Light Residences. 

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, a lot of Filipinos are going through the challenge of how to find or earn money to buy food and their basic needs.

So if you were to suddenly find a wallet stuffed with cash, what would you do?

Keeping it was never an option for a Lalamove rider named Muii Angon Velasquez whose post went viral on Facebook.

He posted about a wallet he found while he was passing through the tunnel that connects Mandaluyong to Green Meadows, Pasig City. He stated that the things in the wallet were scattered around so he took the time to pick them all up.

“Kung sino man po nakakakilala kay sir Rolly Jr. Caro, maaaring ipag bigay alam po sakin para maisaoli ko po. May delivery ako from mandaluyong to green meadows pasig. Napulot ko po ito sa loob ng tunnel sa boni mga 8:30am. Nakakalat po lahat pati mga papel kaya isa isa ko pinulot ito.”

Velasquez even said sorry for doing his actual job before looking for the wallet’s owner named Rolly Jr. Caro.

The then edited his post and added an update saying that he has found Caro and that he’s a security guard at SM Light Residences.

“Lalamove rider ako alam ko hirap ng buhay ngayon para kumita. Pareparehas tayo na malaki ang pangangailangan lalo sa na sitwasyon natin ngayon. Pero hindi yun dahilan para pangahasan itong pinag hirapan mo para sa pamilya mo sir.”

The security guard offered Php500 to Velasquez as a reward but the rider refused to accept it.

“Kung tutuusin ay pwede ko na itong hindi isauli, pwede na ako hindi bumyahe ng isang linggo. Pero hindi ko ginawa iyon dahil alam ko nung pinupulot ko pa lang ito ay nakatingin na sa akin ang Diyos. At alam ko na pinaghirapan niya itong pera na ito para sa pamilya niya,” he said.
