00:00 In other news, the actor Ricardo Cepeda is facing several cases
00:06 including 43 counts of syndicated estafa.
00:10 But the actor's defense is that he has nothing to do with the company's complaint
00:14 and he is just a model.
00:16 Marisol Abdurrahman was on the scene.
00:18 Okay, sir. An unpayable payment.
00:25 Exactly. That's what's embarrassing.
00:29 Nisa Hinagap, the actor who was accused of being Ricardo Cepeda
00:33 or Richard Go, in real life, is in jail.
00:37 I was shocked because I wasn't aware that I was under warrant.
00:42 I had heard that there were scandals but I didn't know that they were targeting me.
00:48 Cepeda was arrested last Saturday
00:51 on the basis of a warrant of arrest for syndicated estafa.
00:55 Cepeda is seen as a person who is still fighting the police
00:59 but he is still a peaceful person.
01:01 He was also shocked when we served him a warrant of arrest.
01:05 He was preparing a ribbon cutting in the area.
01:07 We arrested him before the ribbon cutting.
01:11 The CEDUQCPD cannot say how much the estafa is worth
01:16 that more than 40 people complained.
01:19 This happened in the area of Cagayan, San Jezmir.
01:23 Cepeda is a well-known character actor
01:25 who has appeared in various movies and television shows
01:28 in his several decades of career in the entertainment industry.
01:32 Cepeda's guide said that he has nothing to do with the company
01:35 because he is just a model for their products
01:37 like energy-saving gadgets.
01:40 I'm not connected at all to the company.
01:42 Even in the business registration, my name is not there.
01:45 But you're not the owner?
01:47 No, I'm not running business or anything of the company.
01:52 I'm just a model for their products.
01:56 Aside from 43 counts of syndicated estafa,
01:59 Cepeda has another warrant of arrest for the bouncing check.
02:03 He also filed 3 counts of violation of RA 8799
02:07 or Securities Regulation Code.
02:09 We verified our warrant and we found out that he has a lot of pending warrants.
02:15 Earlier, Cepeda was served another warrant of arrest against him.
02:21 Cepeda admitted that he will not be charged with the charges against him.
02:26 I'm just wasting time.
02:28 I'm wasting time that I can't do anything.
02:31 I cannot work because I'm here trying to prove my innocence.
02:36 In a Tiktok video, his partner Marina Benepayo said
02:40 that his wife never agreed to any investment.
02:45 Others were shocked by the comments.
02:49 You post and let people party.
02:52 I don't think that's right.
02:54 I would never, ever, ever wish that anything like that would happen to you
02:59 even if I don't know you.
03:01 All we need really now are prayers.
03:03 For GMA Integrated News, Marisol Abdurrahman,
03:08 for Tutok 24 Hours.
