A 91-year-old man was found by police walking around in the streets of Barangay Barangka Ilaya with large amount of money in his hands and in his pockets.
According to the police report, he was spotted by an officer when a crowd of people got his attention along EDSA at around 5:30 p.m. Monday, February 27.
He was then brought to the barangay hall for identification. Barangay officials counted some 300 dollar bills amounting to P1.3 million and peso bills amounting to P276,000.
The old man explained to the authorities that he was supposed to use his money to bet on a cockfight; however, his stories seemed to be inconsistent.
Through his license ID and senior citizen card, officials were able to contact one of his children, which the old man failed to identify.
The old man's child was able to provide an identification proving that the old man is his father thus police officers had to turn over the old man.
The old man's family requested his identity to be dropped for his safety.
