BI commends honest intelligence agent

Immigration Commissioner Andrea Domingo commended yesterday for honesty an immigration intelligence agent, who immediately reported finding a black clutch bag containing assorted jewelry and precious stones that was left by an arriving passenger from Xiamen on Friday inside the immigration office at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal II.

Domingo said that Johnny Lee, who was inside the immigration office at the time Santiago Go Bun Siu was inquiring about an immigration problem of a co-Chinese friend, noticed the bag on one of the chairs after its owner had already left the terminal. Lee, according to Domingo did not lose time reporting his find to his immediate superior, Rodolfo Gino, who tried to trace Go Bun Siu through his credit and bank account cards that were also found inside the clutch bag.

Domingo said Lee deserves a commendation for his honesty and his unselfish act for returning his find of jewelry and precious stones with an estimated value of some P1 million.

Domingo said there are still a lot of employees in the public service who are imbued with a sense of values, honesty and integrity. – Rey Arquiza
