Honesty Beyond Duty: SM City Zamboanga Security Personnel Return ₱500,000

ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines, 16 April 2026 — A remarkable act of honesty and integrity took center stage at SM City Zamboanga as two security personnel demonstrated exemplary character by returning a lost cash amounting to ₱500,000 to its rightful owner on March 28 around 3PM.

The recovered item was a light brown tote bag containing bundles of cash—three bundles of one-thousand-peso bills (₱1,000.00) and four bundles of five-hundred-peso bills (₱500.00)—with a total value of five hundred thousand pesos (₱500,000.00). The item was discovered and immediately turned over to the Customer Relations Services (CRS) office by Lady Guard Ena Wahing and Security Officer Erland Solamillo of Pichel Security Agency Inc. 

Displaying presence of mind and unwavering integrity, Wahing and Solamillo followed proper protocols to ensure the safe handling and documentation of the recovered item. Their swift and responsible action enabled the mall’s CRS team to promptly identify and coordinate with the rightful owner, leading to the successful return of the full amount.

The incident not only highlights the vigilance of SM City Zamboanga’s security personnel but also reinforces the mall’s strong culture of honesty, accountability, and service excellence. Beyond ensuring safety and order, SM’s frontliners continue to embody values that build trust and confidence among shoppers and the community.

“At SM, we take pride in nurturing a culture where integrity is lived out daily. Acts like these reflect our people’s commitment to doing what is right, even when no one is watching,” shared SM City Zamboanga Mall Manager John Mayo Enriquez. 

As SM City Zamboanga continues to be a safe and welcoming destination, stories like this serve as a powerful reminder that true service goes beyond duty—it is rooted in character, responsibility, and genuine care for others.
