NBI files criminal raps anew vs. Globe Asiatique prexy, others

MANILA, Dec. 16 – The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) on Thursday filed before the Department of Justice (DOJ) another batch of criminal cases against the president of Globe Asiatique Realty Holdings Corp. (Globe Asiatique) and several others in connection with alleged irregularities in a housing project in Pampanga.

Charged for violation of Presidential Decree 1689 in relation to Article 316 (2) of the Revised Penal Code (RPC) for syndicated estafa and economic sabotage include Delfin S. Lee, president of Globe Asiatique; Jacqueline Magsumbol, liaison officer for Globe Asiatique; Christina I. Sagun, head of Documentation Department; Jacqueline Gamboa, property manager; Helen Dizon, marketing coordinator; Elmer Nunag, clerk, Desiree Joy David, billing and collection, Nanette Rose Haguiling, accountant, and lawyer Alex Alvarez, manager, foreclosure department, Home Development Mutual Fund (Pag-Ibig).

One of the complainant Evelyn Niebres said that she paid P1,537,000 for two units of Xevera Homes in Mabalacat, Pampanga but after a year, Globe Asiatique failed to deliver to her the title to the property despite its assurance.

She said that upon verification with Pag-Ibig, she discovered that the units were loaned under the names of Girlie Santos Espanillo and Lerma Cariaga Villaflores.

Espanillo and Villaflores, through Globe Asiatique allegedly received the loan.

However, Villaflores herself informed HDMF that she had no knowledge how her application reached HDMF.

In their complaint, the NBI also named other victims in the same situation as Niebres.

Lee and 16 others are already undergoing preliminary investigation with the DOJ for syndicated estafa for allegedly embezzling at least P6.6 billion contributions of workers in Pag-Ibig Fund.

Lee has denied the allegations. (PNA) RMA/PTR
