The 27-year-old woman also extended her words of gratitude to the Dubai Police General HQ for acknowledging her efforts.

She said the recognition gave her pride and joy.

“Hindi po ako nagdalawang isip na ibalik yung pera sa nagma-may-ari. Hindi po akin yun at alam kong may return si God para sa akin. Maraming salamat po,” said Olmidillo.
