(AP) He needed the money for his sick wife and overdue rent, but honesty prevented a motorcycle taxi driver from keeping $17,000 left behind by a passenger.

Iluminado Boc returned the money to police in Tagbilaran city on central Bohol island last week, the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported Monday. The woman who lost the bag of cash had just reported it to police when Boc showed up at the precinct.

"It was not mine," Boc was quoted as saying.

Boc, 45, said he was struggling financially because his wife was taken to a hospital the same day he found the money, and they had unpaid rent.

The owner rewarded him with $32 — about seven times what a motorcycle taxi driver makes a day.

马尼拉摩的(motorcycle taxi)司机 Iluminado Boc 急需大笔钱给他老婆治病和偿还债务，但是当他在拾到乘客丢下的17000美元后，直接上交到当地警局，而那位丢失钱包的女士刚刚报警。

这位模范市民说：“那些钱不是我的。”事实上45岁的 Boc 生活得很艰难，在他捡到钱的时候，他老婆刚进医院，而他没钱付账。

这件感人故事的结果是，失主给了他32美元的酬劳——这是像他这样的摩的司机每天收入的数倍。
