In line with the directive from National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Director JUDGE JAIME B. SANTIAGO (Ret.) to boost the operations against criminality, the NBI-Cavite District Office - North (NBI-CAVIDO North) arrested IRENE YUVIENCO ROSAL and RESIE JANE BRONDIAL PACON in Naic, Cavite. Subjects Rosal and Filarca were arrested for violation of Sections 4 and 5 in relation to Section 39 of Presidential Decree No. 957, and Swindling/Estafa under Article 315(2) (a) of the Revised Penal Code (RPC).
The operation was initiated after multiple complaints were filed against the Subjects. Complainants alleged they were deceived into believing that a subdivision project being offered by Subjects Rosal and Filarca through MJRL Landsource Realty was legitimately registered and had license to sell from the Department of Human Settlement and Urban Development (DHSUD) and the concomitant license to sell.
An investigation and verification with DHSUD IV-A confirmed that the project was unregistered and had no license to sell. Furthermore, the DHSUD had already issued a cease and desist order against MJRL Landsource Realty.
NBI-CAVIDO North agents, assisted by DHSUD officers, conducted an entrapment operation that led to their arrest. Recovered from the Subjects were marked money, an MJRL Landsource Realty receipt, a lot plan for Landsource Residences (Phase 1), a master list of lot buyers, and a lot distribution map.
Subjects were presented for inquest proceedings for violations of Sections 4 and 5 in relation to Section 39 of Presidential Decree No. 957, and Swindling/Estafa under Article 315(2)(a) of the Revised Penal Code.
Director Santiago commended the NBI-CAVIDO North agents for the successful operation. He added that the arrest serves as a reminder that the real estate industry is heavily regulated and that compliance with the law is crucial for developers, management, and buyers. The case underscores the importance of due diligence and the protection of buyers' rights and investments.
