Two Tales of Honesty Shines in Boracay

BORACAY ISLAND, Malay, Aklan — Two separate incidents involving lost valuables have highlighted the honesty and community spirit of residents, security personnel, and police officers in Boracay, with a pouch containing around ₱60,000 in cash and a cellphone belonging to a content creator successfully returned to their respective owners.
In the first incident, personnel of the Malay Municipal Police Station (MPS) under the supervision of Police Lieutenant Colonel Orlando A. Carag Jr., chief of police, successfully recovered a lost pouch containing approximately ₱60,000 in cash belonging to Hong Kong tourist Hoi Chui Mo.
The pouch was recovered through the assistance and cooperation of security personnel from various establishments and concerned individuals who helped trace and secure the missing valuables.
Police said the coordinated efforts of the community played a vital role in ensuring that the pouch was safely recovered and returned to its rightful owner.
The Malay MPS expressed its appreciation to the security personnel, establishments, and individuals who contributed to the recovery, describing their actions as a commendable example of community cooperation and public service.
In a separate incident, popular content creator Ms. Lans also recovered her cellphone after it was lost while she was on Boracay Island.
According to the Malay police, the cellphone was found by Fiore Gado, who voluntarily turned it over to authorities instead of keeping the valuable device.
The cellphone was subsequently returned to Lans, who expressed her gratitude to Gado and the Malay police for their prompt and trustworthy assistance.
The two incidents underscore the important role of honesty and cooperation in maintaining Boracay’s reputation as a safe and welcoming destination for local and foreign tourists.
Beyond its beaches and tourism attractions, the successful return of the lost valuables demonstrates how residents, business establishments, security personnel, and law enforcement can work together to protect visitors and their belongings.
The Malay MPS encouraged the public to continue supporting efforts that promote honesty, responsibility, and cooperation, particularly in a major tourism destination such as Boracay.
The police reiterated its commitment to its mandate to “Serve and Protect” residents and tourists while strengthening public trust and cooperation in the community.
