One for the Boc

By Boy Guingguing
Publisher, Bohol Sunday Post

The story of Illuminado Boc, the honest tricycle driver who returned about P80,000 (not P841,000 as earlier reported) from his seaman-passenger has elicited a lot of "Boc-related" one liners.

In a dose at humor, this Bglante joined the fray if only to lighten up what otherwise was a drab week.

It does not matter now that the money returned was a zero lesser making it about P80,000 after all. What is material here is that the driver returned the money and the act will go down in history as one for the Boc. It is therefore safe to assume that if this is our own version of the Guinness Boc of Records in the local level, this one is it.

This time, it does matter that after the happy ending involving the money owner, the daily schedule of the honest driver was fully-booked. He was featured in several radio interviews in local radio stations. He was also the toast of the news programs in the country's rival TV networks.

i don't think returning something you found (which you know does not belong to you) is something to be rewarded because it is not beyond ordinary. it is standard and normal to return the things that are not yours which are accidentally left in your custody. the seaman-passenger is entitled of what is his.what if it was only 25 centavos? will anybody return it.nobody even want to keep it.because we often commit a mistake of thinking and presuming that anybody who leaves behind a 25 centavos only has 25 centavos. so, how much percentage will you charge for having found that 25 centavos?even if the owner will give you 100 percent of the thing found, you won't be interested. you won't be honest at all. and nobody cares if you are not honest because the monetary value of the topic and thing is only 25 centavos.kindness for sale.virtue for sale.honesty for hire.that's all about vehicles.

Honesty would still be the best policy and everyone of us deserves to be rewarded for doing such things like that. It may not be always in a form of material things but God will always compensate for all the good deeds we have done one way or another...

My feeling is that Boc's story became a big news because what he did was not something usual or familiar in a Philippine scenario.

Filipinos, particularly politicians, should pause and ponder on Boc's decision. Boc was on the grip of life's painful episode as his wife needed hospitalization at the time he found the money. If it were a politician who found the money it could have been a different story.

Yes, he should return the money because it was not his - but the fact still echoes loud that the virtue of human honesty was tried and tested not on a summer day, but on a stormy night of man's often arduous life. With this, Boc is worthy of our emulation.

Boc did not seek recognition nor reward for his honesty. It just came as a natural consequence of his decision.

Very well indeed! In the eyes of God, he is rewarded handsomely!

if i would find 25 cents in my tricycle, i would not waste my time to return to the owner because for sure it's easy for the owner to find another 25 cents. but because the amount was considerably big, boc was conscientious enough to return it without expecting something in return. his deed was unusual for a poor driver like him, and therefore, his honesty is worth-emulating.

many rich people would even steal money (indirectly) from their poor servants.

never will there be a justification for keeping things that do not belong to us.not poverty, not greed.Else, it's dishonesty.

i hope there's a way to project the idea that honesty is basic. and that finding our misplaced things is basic, too and normal.i hope time will come that we won't be amazed by honesty anymore because we have already gotten used to honesty everyday.because it is supposedly normal.honesty is honesty and not to be measured in relation to dishonesty.

i agree with arlaine cecile. nong lumi is a friend of mine. his daughter was my classmate in elementary.

after bok, there was a young man from dauis (reported by mike) who returned a found money. pero what happened to him? wala jud.. so far, i didn't hear he received an award or ek ek ..wala pud sakyi sa media.

unlike kay nong lumi, it was a false alarm (pako sab ang mga police!) that he returned a US17,000!! Imagine ingana ka dako. daghan sab ang mingsakay! favorite media flavor.

pero tell me if you will return 100 mabaliata ba ka? i doubt it.

the bottom line is bahala og walay award, sa imong konsensya, iuli jud ang mga butang nga dili imoha..nakahibaw man ang ubang tawo or wala. ang Ginoo ray muhusga.

what's so fallacious is we base the level of "good" on the parameters of "bad".

ang pag-uli s akwarta or butang nga dili atoa, is a good deed jud, mapa-Tv , radio or newspaper man ang ato gibuhat, it doesn't matter, kay Ginoo wala man magpiyong, nakita man siya sa ato gibuhat kung insakto or wala..

God will surely reward honest people. People that knows to return the founde money, wealth or whatever and to the people nga mouli sa sukli kung nanobra. Kasagaran man gud na mahitabo nga mosobra ang sukli, nya ang uban dili sab iuli maghilum lang. Dili nana kinhanglan isibya kay ang ginoo nakahibalo sa atong gibuhat.
