00:00 When it comes to legal matters, we will make it clear.
00:03 We all have equal rights because of the law.
00:07 It should be just.
00:10 From money, property, family, or personal life to social matters, we will divide it to make it just.
00:19 We will answer the new gen of experts when it comes to legal matters.
00:23 We have with us today one of the so-called lawyers of TikTok.
00:28 He is giving free legal advice online.
00:32 Please welcome, Attorney Sam Andin.
00:34 Good evening, Attorney.
00:36 Good evening, Mr. Sam, Sir Oscar.
00:38 Attorney, this is happening every concert, right?
00:43 That's why many of our heart is excited to watch their bias.
00:48 But some Filipino fans are also stressed.
00:51 Some are victims of online scams when buying tickets.
00:55 In these kinds of events, especially online transactions,
00:58 is there a way to file a complaint against the victims?
01:01 What are the legal steps that our hearts should know?
01:05 Yes, Ms. Susan, we have steps that we can take.
01:08 In these kinds of events, we need to know where the tickets were sold.
01:13 Is it here in the Philippines or in other countries?
01:16 Because in our criminal law, we have what we call the territoriality principle.
01:21 It means that where the crime happened, the law of that country has a claim on where it happened.
01:28 So if the ticket was sold in Singapore or other countries,
01:31 the law of that country has a claim.
01:34 But if it was sold here, we have a chance or we can file a case.
01:40 So we can file a case of fraud or fraud,
01:43 or it can also be in violation of the Cyber Crime Prevention Act of 2012 or RA 101.
01:50 Attorney, the ticket scalping is not new to us anymore.
01:54 The ticket is sold at a higher price.
01:59 Is this a crime?
02:00 Is there a penalty for those who sell you tickets even if it's really expensive?
02:05 Yes, I heard that too.
02:07 They sell it at a price of 2x, 3x.
02:10 So currently, we don't have a law that prohibits it.
02:14 It's legal. Selling tickets at a higher price is still a violation of our law on sales.
02:21 So the buyer and the seller, as long as they agree on the price, it's valid.
02:27 What we are not allowed to do is if those transactions are included in fraud, like scamming.
02:35 But we also need to remember or we should learn that even here in NCR,
02:40 there are cities that have ordinances that prohibit ticket scalping.
02:45 For example, Quezon City has an ordinance that prohibits it.
02:49 So in that case, it's already prohibited in Quezon City.
02:52 Attorney, if you get caught or you get caught,
02:55 what damages can be claimed if the ticket seller sells it?
02:59 Can the scammer also be charged for the expenses of the trip to Singapore?
03:04 Can you be charged for damages?
03:07 In terms of damages, we have damages.
03:14 One of the damages we hear is compensatory and actual damages.
03:19 So the price of the ticket, the price of the airfare, and the accommodation can be included.
03:28 But if we were to file a case, we can also ask the judge for the so-called moral damages
03:36 and exemplary damages.
03:38 The moral damages are for sleepless nights if the person is not able to sleep because of the stress he or she experienced.
03:45 The exemplary damages are for the sake of being an example to the community that we should not do that.
03:51 So if you are ready to watch and you can't continue because you are a scammer, right Attorney?
03:56 Yes.
03:57 But of course, if you do that, you need a lawyer.
04:00 Yes, you really need one.
04:01 And if he or she is already filed in case.
04:03 And let's remember, this is not guaranteed.
04:06 We will raise the support and the judge will decide who will give it to you.
04:11 Okay, thank you very much, Attorney Sam.
04:14 You're welcome.
04:15 My dear, don't just make a transaction like this.
04:19 Maybe the dream concert you want to watch will go home to Bangungot.
04:23 Here in Dapat Alamo, we will have a hot issue because of the law,
04:28 Dapat Patas!
