Case of missing sabungeros getting clearer
The latest arrests on the six suspects in the case of missing sabungeros will give the Philippine National Police investigation a direction to its mastermind. This was how PNP Chief P/Gen. Benjamin Acorda viewed the latest development to an almost three-year case that somehow would lead to the identification of the mastermind and others responsible to the crime. “With this development, the investigation will have a direction and hopefully this will convince, or this would encourage other witnesses to come out and provide information,” Acorda said when he guested at the Saturday News Forum in Quezon City. Acorda was referring to the arrest of security guards Julie Patidongan, Gleer Codilla, Mark Carlo Zabala, Virgilio Bayog, Johnry Consolacion and Roberto Matillano Jr. in two safehouses in Parañaque City. He said they are also hopeful that the arrest of six suspects will convince, or encourage other witnesses to provide information. The chief PNP also hinted that some of the six arrested suspects are willing to divulge further information on the matter. Acorda said they are hoping that the suspects would cooperate in the investigation for the PNP to finally identify and file charges against the mastermind and other suspects. “The most effective way to connect the mastermind is the suspects themselves. So I am hoping that they will talk,” Acorda said. The suspects were arrested on Friday in Parañaque City after the PNP Criminal Investigation and Detection Group located their whereabouts through an informant and following a two-month surveillance operation. The six suspects were former security guards of the Manila Arena and we’re listed as respondents for six counts of kidnapping and serious illegal detention in connection with the abduction of six cockfighting players. Acorda said two other people were collared and are now facing obstruction of justice for providing shelter to the six suspects. The abduction at the Manila Arena was among the series of cases of kidnapping of 34 cockfighting players. Police earlier said the kidnapping was related to allegations of game-fixing for online sabong during the Covid-19 pandemic. On the other end, the families of missing sabungeros John Claude Inonog, Rondel Cristorum, Mark Joseph Velasco, Rowel Gomez, and brothers James Baccay and Marlon Baccay filed formal complaints against the six security officers at the Manila Arena over their disappearance in January 2022. Complaints for six counts of kidnapping and serious illegal detention were filed on 18 March 2022, against the six suspects before the Department of Justice.

Complaints for six counts of kidnapping and serious illegal detention were filed on March 18, 2022, against the six suspects before the Department of Justice. The CIDG also filed a separate case for kidnapping and serious illegal detention in connection with the disappearance of the missing online sabong master agent Ricardo Lasco, who was reportedly abducted on August 30, 2021, in San Pablo, Laguna. Three former policemen linked to the kidnapping of Lasco have already surrendered. The DOJ in January 2023 filed kidnapping and serious illegal detention charges against six individuals allegedly involved in the disappearance of six sabungeros before the Manila Regional Trial Court. The families, however, withdrew from the cases last month, prompting the kin of other victims to express disappointment. ''We have been hearing reports that there were attempts to really bribe ‘yung mga witnesses,'' Acorda said.

DICT confirms ‘registered SIM for sale’ modus
After the National Privacy Commission recently revealed the “registered SIM for sale” modus operandi of shadowy syndicates, the Department of Information and Communications Technology confirmed such crime, stating that six individuals have already been collared by authorities for selling 25,000 pieces of registered SIM cards in Pasay City. In a radio interview on Saturday, DICT secretary Ivan Uy confirmed that there are syndicates selling SIM cards in bulk, coming from citizens who already registered them under their names. Uy said each SIM is worth at least P500. "Each of these sellers register 10 SIM cards under their names. What they don’t know is that kapag naghabla tayo dahil ginamit ang mga SIM cards sa panloloko, kasama sila sa habla ng criminal case" according to Uy. (What they don’t know is that when a case is filed against those using the SIM cards intending to con people, they will also be involved in the criminal case). Syndicates apprehended He said currently, the Philippine National Police is already able to apprehend "many" syndicates involved in this type of fraud, the latest of which involved six individuals operating on 25,000 pre-registered SIMs in Pasay City. “About P1 billion worth of registered SIM cards were already seized by authorities,” Uy said, warning the public from participating in selling their registered SIMs. The National Telecommunications Commission earlier said they have already logged over 118 million subscribers. Pursuant to the provisions of the SIM Registration Act, severe penalties shall be imposed upon those involved in the sale or transfer of a registered SIM without complying with required registration or without properly informing the telco concerned, particularly Section 11 (g) of the SIM Registration Act, wherein individuals found guilty of selling or transferring a registered SIM card without complying with the required registration under Section 6 of the same law may be subject to imprisonment ranging from six months to six years, or a fine of P100,000 to P300,000, or both. Alert raised On Thursday, the National Privacy Commission raised an alert on the modus operandi of registered SIMs being sold, prompting the agency to caution the public on the serious ramifications it can affect Filipino mobile users. The NPC maintained that “the practice is not only prohibited under the SIM Registration Act (RA 11934) but also places data subjects in a vulnerable position, exposing them to potential legal repercussions, risks, and harm if a SIM card, registered in their name, is misused for illicit activities.” The post DICT confirms ‘registered SIM for sale’ modus appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
