LAND Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) chairman\u00a0 Teofilo Guadiz III on<\/strong> Wednesday lauded the honesty and integrity of a taxi driver from Iloilo who returned a bag containing P2.4 million left behind by a passenger in his cab.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Guadez hailed cabbie Anthony Barredo Aguirre for the good deed.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cMr. Aguirre\u2019s exemplary act of honesty is proof that there are still good and honorable Filipinos who prioritize integrity over personal gain. He is a model for everyone in the transport sector,\u201d the LTFRB chief said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Aguirre, a resident of Bgy. Amparo in Pavia, Iloilo, had already arrived home when he received a call from his operator asking if a passenger had left a bag in his taxi. <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Upon checking the passenger side of the vehicle, Aguirre found the bag under the seat.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Instead of keeping the money, Aguirre brought the bag to the local police station, ensuring it would be returned to its rightful owner.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cAlthough such an amount could have been a great help in their lives, he still chose to do what is right. His actions inspire trust and respect for the transport industry,\u201d Guadiz said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The LTFRB chair encouraged other utility vehicle drivers to follow Aguirre\u2019s example.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The incident was first reported on GMA Regional TV One Western Visayas, where Aguirre recounted the experience.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cHonesty like this deserves recognition. We hope Mr. Aguirre\u2019s story serves as a reminder of the importance of doing what is right, even when no one is watching,\u201d Guadiz said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThe LTFRB salutes Aguirre for his honesty in returning the substantial amount of money to its owner,\u201d he added.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" LAND Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) chairman Teofilo Guadiz III on Wednesday lauded the honesty and integrity of a taxi driver from Iloilo who<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11414,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11413"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11413"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11413\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11416,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11413\/revisions\/11416"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
