Angeleno commended for honesty

ANGELES CITY –Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan awarded a certificate of commendation to a city government employee who proved to the world that there are greater things other than money.

Apolonio Dizon Nacpil, 49, from the Angeles City Establishments Concerns, Compliance and Regulatory Office (ACESCCORE), found a bank check amounting to P20,000.00 last August 4 of this year.

Without thinking twice, he delivered the check to the City Information Office (CIO) in the city hall to find the rightful owner of the check.

The check has an account name of Taericen Maintenance Contractor. As soon as they notified the owner, they immediately set a meeting for the proper turnover.

With grin on his face showing an obvious sign of relief, Sebastian Magistrado, the General Manager of Taericen Maintenance Contractor and owner of the check, thanked Mr. Nacpil for his honesty and concern by returning the check.

Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan immediately commended the heroic effort of Nacpil.

"This is an example of what a true Angeleno does for his community," said Pamintuan pertaining to the deed of the government employee.

Pamintuan hopes that the incident will inspire others to do the same and encourages the city employees to practice honesty and good deeds to the community.

“It’s because we follow the leader”, Nacpil said when the mayor commended him for his deed during the awarding proper at the city hall.
