Hmm, it somehow completely escaped me that this was the Philippines. That certainly alters my perception of the size of the reward. I guess my feeling is that, while I don't believe a reward is by any means mandatory, if you're going to offer a reward it should be an amount that doesn't seem to indicate, "I'm doing this out of obligation, here's some bare minimum." Yes, I realize the utter circular conundrum that presents, but if someone handed me $30 in America for returning something of large value, it would feel to me the equivalent of leaving a $1 tip for a $100 meal. Better to just not offer anything but thanks.
Obviously my reaction is not the same taking into account the economic differences between here and the Philippines.
