MANILA, Philippines - The honest janitress who returned a plastic pouch full of foreign currency left behind at the Customs area at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport late last month received a cash reward for her good deed from a group of Filipino-Chinese philanthropists.

Jennifer Doroga, 32, contractual janitress of the Manila International Airport Authority received, the R50,000 cash reward from Manny Dy, honorary president of the Federation of Filipino Chinese Associations Foundation Inc.

Dy turned over the award to Doroga at the Board Room of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in the presence of MIAA Assistant General Manager MGen Vicente Guerzon (ret.) and NAIA Terminal Manager Dante Basanta.

Dy also said that the Board of the Federation decided to reward Doroga as a gesture of the association's gratitude for the exemplary honesty of the janitress.

Upon receiving the cash, Doroga broke into tears while she profusely thanked Dy and the other members of the Federation.

Doroga said she intend to use the money for her family's personal needs.

Gen. Guerzon for his part thanked the Federation for rewarding the honest deed of their employee.

To date, the money returned by Doroga is still in the custody of the airport Authority because no one has still come forward to claim it.
