Homeless Woman has almost P74,000 Cash in her Bag

Officials of Barangay Bagumbayan in Taguig were surprised to discover almost P74,000 cash inside a homeless woman’s bag.

According to the report by GMA News journalist Ivan Marina, Carmelita Bernasor claimed that the money kept inside her bag were her savings from her 30 years of selling.

Barangay officials first found Bernasor unkempt, sitting and seemingly dumfounded on Thursday, October 23.

As for the Bernasor’s personal details, she was only able to disclose that she is from from Malibay, Pasay.  Her barangay ID also revealed that she is 54 years old.

Bernasor has been staying at the Barangay hall for several days when a health worker asked her to take a bath on Monday, October 28. Remedios Tenorio, the health worker who assisted her, found the cash inside the woman’s bag.

“Nung makita kong hindi po siya nakabuhol, yung punda pala yun ng unan. Pag ganyan ko, sabi ko ‘Ay ang dami mo palang pera, ’” Tenorio narrated.

When the officials counted Bernasor’s money, they were surprised to learn that it amounted to P73,990.

Gie Concepcion, a Barangay Kagawad said: “Halo halo, may P20, may P50, may P100, may P1000, may P500. Dikit dikit na siya. Naka-rubber band siya na nakatiklop na ganun. Para bang sa jueteng.”

Bernasor claimed that she has been saving money from her decades of selling balut, ice candy, soft drinks, bread, and other snacks since 1978.

Furthermore, Concepcion said the woman will remain under the custody of DSWD. Meanwhile, Bernasor’s money will be stored for safekeeping in Barangay Bagumbayan’s Treasurer’s office.

  1. Ok… I don’t understand why she has to be in custody. It’s her money, give it back to her. Typical Filipinos.

  2. excuse me lang sa gumawa ng news na to. sa t.v nga e, blurd ung mukha ni ate. ngayun nman pinost nyo. hndi nyo ba inisip na baka mapahamak ung ale. just saying..

  3. I don’t know why they took the money from that poor lady. I don’t think there’s good enough reason for the barangay to keep her money because she didnt get accused or alleged with any crime of some sort none of us has a right to ask her where and how she get that money from. So pls. Return her money. And stop taking advantage of people.

  4. Good pm.. Hindi bat Hindi nmn tama na ang barangay ang magtatago ng perang naipon ni bernasor? I mean karapatan nya yon d poh ba? Kung walang iniisip na masama ang mga nakakita,.

  5. Why would the health worker rummage through her stuff to discover the bundles of cash? If its her life savings its still her private property. Im sure the money is now being spent by those government thieves. You cant trust any one in the philippines.

  6. sana naman kung mapatunayan na walang ginagawang masama ang tao e mabalik pa ang pera. Kawawa naman kung talagang ipon niya yun ng mahabang panahon dahil sa pagsisikap niya at iba lang pala ang makikinabang. Homeless na nga e.

  7. Ang memekapal ng mukha! Pinaghirapan ng tao yan tapos kukunin niyo! Mga bwaya kung cno pa mga officials na hinalal pra tumulong sa mga tao. Nakakapag init ng ulo mga gantong balita. Safe keeping ur face! Iblik niyo sa mtnda yan!

  8. Ang kapal ng mukha! Pinaghirapan ng tao yan tapos kukunin niyo! Mga bwaya kung cno pa mga officials na hinalal pra tumulong sa mga tao. Nakakapag init ng ulo mga gantong balita. Safe keeping ur face! Iblik niyo sa mtnda yan!

  11. Let’s help this poor woman to get her money back!!!! Tulungan po natin siya pwede nman ibangko…. Kakapal ng pagmumukha tlaga sobra!!!!

    • Korek ka dapat idiniposit thru her name bakit pa nla kunuha cgurado lang mananapoles yan na money ng ali. Tsk tsk kawawa nman pinag ipunan nya eh. Naku talagang corrupt talaga sa atin. Kapal nla maghawak ng pera.

  12. Just check if the cash at hand mostly are our currency old notes or not. From there we’ll have an idea of the money’s origin…if it’s really hers or not.

  13. this is crazy, leave that woman alone !!why your questioning this lady having that money? is there any problem if having homeless your not allowed to have that? why you people don’t question our government officials having millions of money on their account? shame on this people who confiscate and get the money from this poor woman, you did that because she has nothing and homeless… pity on her

  14. Ay sana hinayaan nlang sa ali ang pera o kya diniposit nlang sa bank under her name kasi alam nman natin pag nsa gov na money maraming sitsiburetsi na baka manapolis pa yan. Kawawa an ang ali pera nya yan ah. Grabe talaga kawawa nman naghirap sya mag ipon tapos hawakan ng treasurer naku wala akong tiwala na mananapoles na yan na money ng ali. Tsk tsk tsk

  15. if the money is really hers, don’t keep it, give that back to her.. if the money is not hers, check the bill if it corresponds on the year that she’s telling.. then we can suggest what to do with those money.. but i suggest give that money back to her in a way that nobody can harm her. example, deposit that money in the bank with her name and get a portion for her to rent at least a room to live or a house where she can put up a business even a small sari-sari store.

  16. Yeah right! They are keeping it for her. They shouldn’t have touch her money it’s hers and it belongs to her. Corruption even when situation like this. Please……return her money to her she can do whatever she likes with that money, she worked hard for it.

  17. I doubt they’ ll keep it. If I were them, I’ll help that woman to put her money on the bank not on Treasury’s office, since at first place it her own money. NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO DECIDE TO WHAT TO DO ON HER MONEY, ONLY HER.

  18. WTH? hindi naman sa kanila yong pera, ba’t kinuha nila? what if totoo talaga yong sabi ng babae na pinag ipunan nya yong pera? kawawa na man. at inilagay pa talaga sa kaban nila? anong gagawin nyo dun? sure ba kayo na safe yung pera do’n? Mang.aankin sila ng hindi naman sa kanila yong pera. 😐 nakakainis tong mga taong to. :I this woman deserves justice.

  19. For crying out loud people, Why she has to be under custody? did she do anything wrong??? kaya ang bansa natin hindi umuunlad..mahirap na nga ang tao ninanakawan nio pa..shame on you guys..at nagawa nio pang ipost ang face nia..hindi na kau naawa…pinag hirapan nia ang pera tapos kukunin nio lang..KAKAPAL NG MUKA NIO TALAGA..PAKAWALAN NIO ANG BABAE kundi gagawa ako ng letter na ipapa VIRAL KO LALO NA sa FB..hindi uunlad ang bansa natin kungdi mawawala ng tulad ninyng buhaya sa yaman at kapangyarihan..

  21. sa tingin ko tama naman ang ginawa ng pulis. marami kasi ang pwedeng dahilan kung saan nanggaling ang pera niya eh. ang bias po ninyo, ginagawa lang nila ang trabaho nila.

  22. TAMA LUCAS: gawa kana mga buwakanang mga tao yan….hndi kanila pinakikialaman. di na na awa sa tao…pinag hirapan nya yan ng ilang taon tapos kukunin lang nila. tae talaga ang bansa natin dahil sa gnyang mga tao…
