An overseas Filipino worker (OFW), Lapida earlier alighted at Terminal 3 but later was told that her Saudia Airlines flight was at NAIA Terminal 1, so she took a taxi to catch her flight.
At the check-in counter, Lapida realized that she lost her wallet and asked the help of the airport authorities. MIAA General Manager Ed Monreal ordered Airport Police Capt. Nemencio Bawalan to locate the taxi and recover the lost item.

Saudi-Qatar flights resumed on Monday as the neighbors normalize ties under a landmark agreement that ended the Gulf row that erupted in 2017.
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt in June 2017 severed diplomatic and economic ties with Qatar over its support for terrorism.
The quartet agreed to lift the restrictions at a Gulf Cooperation Council summit last week in the Saudi desert city of AlUla, after a flurry of diplomatic activity by outgoing US President Donald Trump s administration.

Qatar-Saudi flights resumed on Monday as the neighbours normalise ties under a landmark agreement that ended a bitter three-year rift and allows families to reunite.
Saudi Arabia and its allies the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt in June 2017 slapped a blockade on Qatar that included closing airspace to the country over claims it backed Islamist groups and was too close to Iran.
Qatar has always denied the charges.
