00:00Hey, what's okay to book for a staycation?
00:06Oh, wait, I know this!
00:09This is Pokhwang's house. Why is he here?
00:12This is not for a staycation.
00:14Oh, my dear friends, just be careful when booking for a staycation.
00:19So that the vacation you're looking forward to won't be a scam.
00:23This Sunday, the comedian Pokhwang sent a message to the NBI
00:28after using the location of his house in Antipolo as a scam.
00:34The following day, the comedian said that he rented the address of the staycation resort.
00:41What does the law say about this?
00:45Well, ask me, ask Atty. Gabby.
00:48Atty., aside from the staycation, there's also a scam.
00:59If I became a victim of this, for example, I used the picture of our house for example,
01:05to sell, what can I get in return?
01:08Oh, if I have to admit, the owner of the house did not become a victim
01:13who used the pictures to scam others.
01:17Not like those who booked and paid when there's no proof that it's true.
01:22You did not receive financial or actual damage because you were not really scammed, right?
01:29But you were used to do this scam.
01:33Usually, in crimes, there's a required element of damage before you can file a case.
01:39You were not fooled.
01:41It was just an instrument to deceive.
01:45But if it's true that there was a perversion because it became a result,
01:49a lot of people will complain because of this.
01:52It's really annoying that you're silent and suddenly, you'll be included in the scene.
01:58So, I think there can be a case for unjust vexation under our revised penal code.
02:04The unjust vexation, it's like a staycation,
02:09is a case against any action of a person
02:13that is usually not physical in nature or has a result of financial damage.
02:18But the result is severe anger, jealousy, and contempt for a person.
02:24It's better to hear in the words of the Supreme Court,
02:28this unjust vexation is any human conduct that results in annoyance,
02:34irritation, torment, distress, or disturbance.
02:38It's a catch-all decrement in our revised penal code
02:42that can be filed in cases of severe vexation.
02:47If I'm the attorney who booked and paid,
02:51then I went to a scam place and we were not able to have a staycation,
02:55what should I pursue?
02:57This is the true case of swindling or scam.
03:02Because there was damage to the victim,
03:05damage in the form of financial loss,
03:07because of this scam,
03:09which is called a promise that was just made.
03:12A promise of a peaceful staycation
03:14that did not only result in a lot of stress,
03:17but there was really a loss of money.
03:19And this swindling that was made in the assumption
03:22that there is a house that can be rented
03:25is a fraud under Article 316 of the revised penal code.
03:30Fraudulent misrepresentation is what is implied here.
03:33And because this was done over the internet,
03:35the penalty is higher according to the Cybercrime Prevention Act.
03:40So, be careful everyone. Avoid a scam.
03:44We will clarify the laws we are discussing
03:47for the peace of mind.
03:49Don't think twice.
03:51Ask me, ask Attorney Gabby.
