Honesty is the indeed best policy. The 13-year-old boy Andre Macabuhay is a parking lot boy at one of the famous food chain restaurant branch when he suddenly found a wallet.
The wallet was not empty but contained P7,000 (around US$ 135) in it. Being the honest kid that he is, Macabuhay quickly returned the wallet and the lost cash he found without any hesitation to its owner Dindo Lorenzo.
Macabuhay’s story spread like a wildfire on the internet and went viral almost immediately when it was posted on social media.
The online community complimented the young boy for showing an honest attitude and restoring humanity.
Thanks to his good heart and the act of honesty, Macabuhay received a scholarship grant worth P400,000 (US$ 7,727) that can sustain him from elementary to college years.
He received great rewards for his honest act.
