SAN FERNANDO, La Union – Two members of this city’s police station returned a bag containing at least P113,000 in cash and documents, which they found in a restaurant in Barangay Biday here on April 6.

Renato Alvarez of Sison, Pangasinan was grateful that the bag was returned to him, saying the money belongs to a lending firm where he works.

Alvarez said he went into the restaurant at around 4:30 p.m. and placed the bag on a chair beside him.

He said he discovered that the bag was missing as he was in a bus heading home.

Alvarez sought the help of the Sto. Tomas police, which called up Chief Insp. Bernardo Manzano, deputy chief of the San Fernando City police.

Manzano ordered beat patroller, Police Officer 2 Sonny Perez, to look for the bag in the restaurant.

Perez found the bag on the chair where Alvarez left it.

Manzano and Perez returned the bag to Alvarez, who traveled back to San Fernando to claim it.
