The commendable act of a maintenance personnel is a testament to the popular saying “Integrity is doing the right thing when no one is watching”.

Valerie Sunshine Gomez of SM City Clark’s Job Clean Services Clark will be honored for turning over a small black bag containing ID, personal items, and P101,786 in cash that she discovered in the second level comfort room near the Mall Clinic.

According to Gomez, there was a long queue in the girls’ restroom when she observed a customer who was frantic to use it, so she offered to use the All Gender Comfort Room instead and returned to her regular routine.  

She conducted her usual rounds at the end of the shift to make sure everything was in order, when she saw a black bag in one of the cubicles, which she immediately turned over to the Customer Relations Security Office for inspection and safekeeping.

Employees at SM have made it a habit to do good deeds, notably returning missing items. This and other excellent activities demonstrate SM employees’ dedication to the company’s corporate ideal of honesty and integrity.
