00:36.7
Have you met her in person?
00:38.2
Yeah. I've actually stayed at her place with my ex at the time.
00:45.2
Also with her mother. It's her mother's place in Kazan province.
00:50.4
And so, she proposed an investment opportunity of 12% ROI.
00:54.8
And I went through with it.
00:56.3
Okay. Can you tell us about this investment?
00:58.1
She had stated that it was for the Bureau of Corrections in which someone by the name of P. Colonel Rizzo
01:07.4
owns the business which provides food for inmates, 5,000 inmates a day at the Bureau of Corrections.
01:16.2
So, she said he was the one in charge of it and the money would go to him and the Bureau of Corrections would pay him every month.
01:24.4
Alright. So, you have given her 300,000 pesos.
01:28.1
Okay. So, when did you give her these 300,000?
01:32.1
August of last year?
01:33.5
And since then, how much has she given back to you?
01:36.7
So, two months worth of ROI. So, total of 74,000 pesos.
01:42.5
Alright. She gave you back 74,000 pesos.
01:47.5
Then, what happened thereafter?
01:48.8
And then, she had sent me a message saying, well, before that, she had asked me for 100,000, additional 100,000, which I refused.
01:58.6
This was in October of last year.
02:02.2
And then, she had sent me a picture of a warrant.
02:05.9
Apparently, she had a warrant for her arrest dating back 2019, I believe.
02:11.4
Alright. So, there is an outstanding warrant against her?
02:13.6
There's an outstanding warrant.
02:14.2
So, after I refused to pay her 100,000, she had sent me a picture of a warrant that she had for balance checks and failure to appear to court.
02:22.6
And after that point, she had ceased to make me any payments.
02:28.1
I spoke with the barangay. I went to her house, met with her mother, tried to come up with some kind of agreement.
02:37.1
Now, is there a written agreement between you for this investment?
02:41.2
No, nothing written. No.
02:42.6
There was nothing?
02:43.6
Okay. And now, are you still in communication with this person? What's her name? Sorry?
02:49.3
Nympha Rojas Nkanan.
02:51.5
And what convinced you to invest?
02:54.7
The fact that she was former PNP.
02:58.1
It was one of the reasons. The fact that I knew a friend of hers who also had invested years ago.
03:05.6
Pretty much it. And 12% just seemed like a good return on investment.
03:11.6
I had a post-dated check from her as well. Two post-dated checks. One for 224k, one for 56k.
03:17.1
Oh, what happened to those checks?
03:18.1
I still have them, but I tried to cash them out at the bank, but they said she has pending transactions and they're unable to cash them.
03:26.7
In other words, the checks were dishonest?
03:29.0
They bounced, right?
03:30.1
But I wasn't even able to deposit them. The bank wouldn't allow it for whatever reason.
03:34.6
Alright. We were able to confirm that Police Major Nympha Rojas Nkanan had an optional retirement.
03:45.2
And she was previously assigned to the PNP Intelligence Group.
03:49.0
So, we were able to confirm that she was a former personnel of the National Police.
03:55.6
She optionally retired.
03:58.1
I don't know when, pero kailangan din po natin i-verify ha kasi meron daw po siyang outstanding warrant of arrest.
04:05.2
Now, I have to advise you of your rights for now, okay?
04:08.2
Now, you mentioned that this was an investment contract.
04:11.3
Now, in the Philippines, and I think this applies to other jurisdictions, when we speak of investment, there is an expectation of profit,
04:18.7
but it is not an entitlement thereto, meaning there is a risk if we are talking about investment
04:26.0
because you are basically entering into a business.
04:28.7
You invest because you'd like to participate in that business and you'd like to profit from the business.
04:34.7
So, there is really no assurance of returns.
04:37.4
Now, in your case, you mentioned that Ms. Nympha also executed post-dated checks in your name.
04:44.7
And these post-dated checks would total to how much?
04:47.6
More or less, 300,000.
04:49.8
Close to 300,000.
04:51.2
And was her representation, those checks would represent your advance profits.
04:58.1
So, in that case, since there was no written agreement between you, it would appear that based on those documentations,
05:06.3
the contract that you entered into is not really an investment but a contract of loan, okay?
05:11.2
Because if there was a promise to return, it is not an investment.
05:15.6
It is a loan, right?
05:17.5
To return the amount that she borrowed from you, which is more or less 300,000 pesos,
05:22.1
the contract that they entered into based on those information and documents is actually a loan.
05:26.7
Now, since it is a loan, it is a loan.
05:27.7
Since it is a loan, there is an obligation on the part of Nympha to return it to you, all right?
05:32.4
Now, we cannot contact Ms. Nympha.
05:34.5
We need her explanation why she cannot return the amount.
05:38.2
But more to that, insofar as the investment option that she mentioned, she mentioned that this is for the Bureau of Corrections.
05:46.1
Now, if there is no truth to that, then she basically defrauded you and she can be liable for estafa in that case.
05:53.6
Now, that is the criminal aspect.
05:55.3
Insofar as your contract, it is a contract of loan.
05:57.7
That is a civil aspect.
05:58.6
In the Philippines, nobody is in prison for loan.
06:02.6
However, one of the material information facts in this case is she executed two post-dated checks, right?
06:10.2
Which were dishonored by the banks.
06:12.9
So, you have to present them to the banks when they are already due and the bank will stump this owner
06:18.6
because either the funds are not sufficiently funded or the account was already closed.
06:23.9
In both cases, she is criminally liable.
06:27.7
In this country, we have criminal, we have a crime called bouncing checks, right?
06:32.6
The dishonor of these bouncing checks.
06:34.5
Now, it's a special law and there is a corresponding imprisonment.
06:38.5
Did you confirm that the warrants were valid regarding her previous BP checks?
06:43.5
I think we have not yet, we were not able to verify it.
06:46.6
We just learned it from you, the outstanding warrants.
06:50.5
But if, as you have mentioned earlier, there were two post-dated checks that are to be dishonored by the banks
06:57.7
Outstanding warrants for the same offenses.
07:02.0
And then, failure to appear as well.
07:03.9
Well, it means even the authorities are already looking for her.
07:08.4
But they're not because she's where a visitor at her mother's house in Quezon Province.
07:14.9
Good afternoon, Chairman Gerardo Perez.
07:17.5
Good afternoon, too.
07:19.2
Chairman Perez, do you know this former police major, Nimfa Rojas Ancanan?
07:27.7
She's a resident of your barangay.
07:32.6
Is she still there? Do you see her in your barangay?
07:36.2
Sir, she's been gone for a long time. She's hiding.
07:39.2
She said she went and the police are looking for her.
07:42.2
Ah, okay. So, she's hiding and the police are looking for her.
07:44.9
She's probably saying that she has a warrant.
07:48.3
Yes, that's right.
07:49.5
So, are you aware that the former police major, Ancanan, has a warrant?
07:55.8
She mentioned it to me earlier.
07:58.7
We all know that she's still staying at her mother's place in Suraya.
08:02.7
So, you know where she is right now?
08:04.2
I mean, I visited her on the 27th of December and she was home.
08:08.0
She was there. She's always there.
08:10.0
So, I mean, she...
08:11.0
Just confirm it right now, sir, that she's not...
08:15.0
From the barangay chairman, sir.
08:17.0
You mean the captain?
08:19.5
He's on her side. I went there and he didn't even introduce himself as a barangay captain nor did the barangay admin.
08:25.5
They had attitude towards me.
08:28.0
They were telling me...
08:29.5
So, are you aware that the former police major, Nympha, has a warrant?
08:34.5
And the Canadian citizen, Mr. Zain El Amine, is saying that you're aware of it.
08:40.5
When he went to Canada, I told him that I'm going to Nympha's house.
08:48.0
So, you know that the police are looking for her.
08:50.5
You know where she is.
08:52.0
Didn't you coordinate to catch her?
08:59.5
When she was there?
09:02.5
When she went to Canada, we went to her house.
09:06.5
That's where Nympha is hiding.
09:08.5
So, when you saw her, she's not there anymore?
09:12.5
Someone told me that she has a warrant.
09:14.5
That's when she was there.
09:17.0
At least, I just want to be clear, Chairman.
09:19.5
If we know where the police major, Nympha is, let's not hide her.
09:25.5
Otherwise, there's no obstruction of justice there.
09:29.5
I just want to be clear, Chairman.
09:36.5
I just talked to the Chairman and he confirms that Ms. Nympha is no longer there.
09:41.5
But we will coordinate with the police authorities just so we can satisfy or we can in effect
09:48.5
serve the warrant against Ms. Nympha.
09:50.5
If you know whereabouts, then we can help the police.
09:53.5
Just take her with a grain of salt.
09:55.5
So, you let us know of her whereabouts.
09:57.5
If you know, so we can relay the information to the police.
09:59.5
She is there in Sarayaya.
10:02.5
She's been there ever since.
10:04.5
I visited her even after her incident with me and sending me her warrant.
10:08.5
She's been there.
10:09.5
We will coordinate that with the police, okay?
10:11.5
And they will try to serve the warrant.
10:12.5
And the barangay is on her side protecting her because of the relationship with her mother.
10:16.5
He's known her for years and years and years.
10:19.5
The barangay captain.
10:20.5
And he's on her side clearly.
10:22.5
So, don't take anything he says.
10:27.5
If you know where Police Major Nympha Rojas is, we will coordinate because we will communicate
10:33.5
with the PNP of your place so we can serve the warrant.
10:38.5
The PNP of Sarayaya always ask for a warrant.
10:42.5
They can't find it.
10:45.5
Again, we cannot contact right now Police Major Nympha Rojas Ancanan.
10:50.5
But there is an outstanding warrant and we will coordinate with the police officers for her arrest.
10:54.5
Now, if you know her whereabouts, you let us know, okay?
10:57.5
I also talked to the chairman.
11:00.5
If he knows where Ms. Nympha is, then she is bound by the law to inform the police.
11:04.5
Otherwise, the chairman himself will be liable for obstruction of justice.
11:08.5
I mean, the mother had admitted that she comes there every so often when I was there with the chairman of the barangay.
11:14.5
And I told them, the mother has an obligation to call the police.
11:18.5
And they actually told me that she doesn't have an obligation to call the police.
11:21.5
And they can't force her to call the police.
11:23.5
As long as the mother is concerned, that is correct.
11:26.5
Because under our law, the mother, the father, or any member of the immediate family who will not surrender, in that case, her daughter, this is an exemption.
11:35.5
She cannot be considered an accessory to the crime.
11:37.5
That is an exemption.
11:39.5
Because the law recognizes that it is just natural for the parent to protect her daughter from the arrest.
11:43.5
Do you have any message for Ms. Nympha?
11:46.5
I mean, do the right thing.
11:47.5
Turn yourself in.
11:48.5
Pay back all the countless victims you victimized over the years.
11:51.5
And just change your life forever.
11:53.5
Because drinking every night and not being able to sleep because of you, it's just something that, you know, you should just change and be a better person.
12:04.5
Just turn yourself in.
12:05.5
Do the right thing.
12:06.5
Stop victimizing people.
12:08.5
And if the former police major, Nympha Rojas, is listening, you can also call us so that we can also hear his panic.
12:18.5
Police Brigadier General Kenneth Lucas.
12:21.5
He is the Regional Director of Region 4A of the Philippine National Police.
12:25.5
Good afternoon General.
12:30.5
General, there is a Canadian citizen here in our office.
12:34.5
And he is complaining about the former police officer, Major Nympha Rojas Ancanan.
12:41.5
Apparently, the former police officer also has an outstanding warrant.
12:46.5
There is a new complaint against him.
12:48.5
He said that it was a lock-down of investments.
12:51.5
The Bureau of Corrections is still investigating.
12:53.5
The investment is not true.
12:55.5
Aside from that, he also issued checks that went bankrupt.
12:58.5
So this is a new case, right?
13:02.5
what we would like to ask of you,
13:04.5
because the Canadian knows where the claimant who has a standing warrant is.
13:10.5
We will coordinate with you so that we can serve the warrant, so that we can catch the former officer.
13:16.5
I suggest that you give my number to the claimant so that we can talk faster on the phone instead of seeing each other so that we don't waste time.
13:24.5
Yes. That's right.
13:26.5
And maybe if we talk about this, Major Nympha will find out.
13:33.5
He will find out the next step of our police.
13:35.5
So just so that we can show the peace of mind of the Canadian, so that we can show him that our investigation is going on, that our police are helping, we will coordinate with you General.
13:49.5
I will give my number.
13:52.5
Thank you very much.
13:53.5
Police Brigadier General Kenneth Lucas of Region 4A of the Philippine National Police.
13:59.5
We can no longer talk to Ms. Nympha.
14:01.5
She's not been receiving our calls.
14:03.5
So what we have to do is to file the case against her.
14:06.5
In that way, it is the law that she has to respond to.
14:10.5
Otherwise, there will be a separate warrant of arrest to be issued against her.
14:14.5
Okay. Thank you very much, Mr. Zine.
14:16.5
And we will talk to you at the other booth, sir.
14:18.5
Awesome. Thank you.
14:19.5
Thank you very much.
14:29.5
Thank you very much.
