00:00Next, the GMA Integrated News reported that a patient was released from a hospital in Manila because a doctor's staff recognized him as a scammer.
00:09Another patient in Makati was released for 1,500 pesos for recognizing a person in a hospital.
00:16Katrina Son, Exclusive, reported.
00:22Even though he's famous, he's not good.
00:25Ken went to the Southern Police District in Taguig.
00:28He doesn't have a real name.
00:30To complain, after asking for a scam, an assistant manager of a hospital in Makati recognized him.
00:37He was admitted to the hospital on January 2 because of back and chest pain.
00:42He was supposed to be discharged on January 13, but he couldn't go home because there was no payment for almost half a million pesos bill in the hospital.
00:50On January 21, he received a text from a Myka Reyes.
00:55We were offered 70,000 pesos initial down payment without collateral check to be discharged.
01:04Because the hospital bill is increasing every day, and when he wanted to go out of the hospital, Ken insisted.
01:11He gave me the bank account of my doctor.
01:16That's when I transferred the initial or down payment of 35,000 pesos.
01:21Yesterday, he deposited the balance of 35,000 pesos.
01:27He said that the secretary will go to discuss my monthly payment installment or payment terms.
01:38He said that my down payment is only 70,000 pesos.
01:41And then he will also come to ask for the documents.
01:48But the secretary who talked to him did not come.
01:52We realized that we got scammed.
01:55When we went to the nurse station, we called the billing department.
01:59We asked if there is a Myka Reyes.
02:04They said that we don't have that kind of person.
02:08We also don't have a manager's office because all transactions need to be done through billing.
02:15The hospital also told them that they will investigate the incident.
02:19The secretary of his doctor also called them to say that there is no incoming payment to their office.
02:25And that the patients' payment went through the hospital.
02:29It's hard because of course, you were hospitalized due to sickness.
02:35Then you are looking for payment just to be discharged.
02:43Then you will know that you were scammed.
02:48The PNP Cybercrime Division will investigate.
02:52The hospitals that were used by the scammers will also investigate.
02:56They are using the doctor's name and also the hospital's name.
03:01We saw in the previous final complaint that the victim knew all the information about the victim,
03:14the patient, the hospital and the doctor.
03:18The question is how did they know the details of the patient and the doctor.
03:25If we can see that there is evidence, they will be dealt accordingly.
03:31For Jimmy Integrated News, Katrina Son.
03:3624 Hours.
03:37Almost 40 million pesos worth of Kush or high-end marijuana was found hidden in two return boxes from Canada.
03:45In the Bureau of Customs, household and personal belongings were declared.
03:49The contents of the boxes arrived at Manila International Container Port.
03:53And when inspected, Kush or dried marijuana leaves and 60 unused tablets were found.
04:01The consignee of the two return boxes and the sender of the boxes are facing a lot of complaints.
04:09In the middle of the election gun ban,
04:11an armed man who is a new member of the Asunto was caught.
04:15Bea Pinlac was arrested.
04:20The police searched the house of this 31-year-old man.
04:25They received a complaint that the man was smoking and firing a gun near his house in Malanday, Valenzuela.
04:33The man was almost released from the prison of the Asunto in Akiat Bahay in 2018.
04:39But he is back in prison now after being caught with an improvised gun, live ammunition for a shotgun and a grenade.
04:47We still don't know if he used these for his crimes.
04:53The suspect explained that his friend sold him a gun for P900.
05:00It's not mine. I just sold it.
05:03For a few days, I tested it in front of our house.
05:07I fired it. It exploded. For a few days, I also sold it.
05:14He also lost his day when he sold it to another friend for P500.
05:20It's not mine. I don't use it.
05:23I'm a new member of the Asunto. I'm free.
05:27The suspect is facing charges of illegal possession of firearms, ammunition and explosives
05:33and violation of the Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act.
05:37For GMA Integrated News, I'm Bea Pinlac.
05:41For 24 Hours.
