Woman pleads no contest to embezzling thousands from Delano Philippine Weekend Committee
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — A 67-year-old woman has pleaded no contest to embezzling thousands of dollars from the Delano Philippine Weekend Committee to buy gifts for men she met online, according to court records. Delilah Mascarinas on Tuesday pleaded no contest to both felony counts filed against her — embezzlement by a public officer and check fraud. She was charged in 2023. Prosecutors say she faces up to three years and eight months in prison, but the court-indicated sentence is felony probation with restitution. Sentencing is set for Aug. 6 at the Delano courthouse. After starting an Instagram account in 2022, Mascarinas engaged in conversations with numerous men who claimed to be in the military, and received eight marriage proposals, according to her statement contained in Delano police reports. Mascarinas told police the men asked for gift cards to pay for internet, games and music. She said she bought the cards through an account that was designated for use by the Delano Philippine Weekend Committee, which annually organizes a two-day event celebrating Filipino culture. She said she meant to pay the money back. 'And it just spiraled out of control,' she told police. 'And when I wasn't able to pay it back then that's when everything happened.' An investigation determined around $20,000 was missing. Mascarinas had access to the committee's account for years but said she didn't use it for personal expenses until 2022.

Union Pacific Railroad names Tehachapi as ‘Train Town USA'
TEHACHAPI, Calif. (KGET) — Move over Thomas, and hold onto your caboose cause it's official: Tehachapi is known as Train Town U.S.A. Peggy YgBuhay with Union Pacific said, ''Union Pacific Railroad does grant Tehachapi, California the title of, 'Train Town USA.' You can clap.'' The Tehachapi Depot is celebrating 15 years since restoring the museum that was destroyed in a fire in July 2008 caused from bottle rockets. Tehachapi Mayor, Joan Pogon-Cord, said, 'My husband, he was a deputy sheriff at that time, told me. It was like a knife to my heart.' It took $2 million to restore the historic building two years later. The biggest draw in Train Town isn't the museum with one heck of a moving exhibit. It's the engineering feat, known as the Tehachapi Loop. V.P. Marlan Woodside with Friends of Tehachapi Depot said, 'The purpose of the loop is to raise the track from a bottom of 77 feet up to the top rail in a distance of 4,000 feet.' Pride runs deep in Tehachapi, and part of that pride is because of the Tehachapi Loop, where up to 40 trains a day make the trek. It's an engineering marvel, and part of the reason why the depot is celebrating 15 years. Founder of Friends of Tehachapi Depot, Doug Prickard said, 'In 2026, it'll be the 150th anniversary of when this track was originally built.' People from all over the world marvel at man's defiance against gravity with this historic track. People even get married at the Tehachapi Loop. Ron & Becky Wilson are train tourists from Oregon. They marvel at the site of the Tehachapi Loop. 'All of a sudden we heard a whistle down the way, and another train came,' said Becky. 'So, made the loop, and then the other one started going and passed each other on the loop. It was really fun.' Up to 10,000 guests a year sign the guest book at the Tehachapi Train Depot. Depot staff say at last report, the museum has seen up to 150,000 visitors. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
