Today, Sultan Kudarat residents celebrate an inspiring act of honesty after a young woman received her lost phones.
The community praised the quick return, showing that kindness still exists amid daily challenges and busy city life.
Margielyn Tabin, 22, expressed relief and gratitude after receiving her devices safely from a good Samaritan.
Her story quickly spread through Brigada News FM, inspiring listeners to practice integrity and compassion.
On January 25, 2026, Margielyn lost two cellphones in front of Gestosani Memorial Integrated School around five PM.
She searched anxiously while fearing the devices were gone forever, feeling helpless and disappointed by the incident.
Later, Renante Tapalia of Barangay Christianuevo found the phones and immediately decided to return them personally.
Instead of keeping the devices, he chose honesty, demonstrating a strong sense of responsibility and community pride.
The two met at Brigada News FM Lebak for the official handover, where Margielyn thanked him warmly.
Renante received applause and recognition, as people called him a true “Kabrigada” and an inspiring role model.
This act encourages others to follow his example and choose honesty even when no one is watching.
In the future, similar gestures will strengthen trust and unity among neighbors.
Small acts can change lives.
