NBI nabs man for illegal recruitment, sexual harassment in Cavite
According to John Consulta's exclusive report on '24 Oras' on Thursday, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) caught the suspect in a room with a person he was about to victimize.
Upon arriving at the NBI office in Cavite, one of the suspect's victims punched him.
The NBI said the suspect was recruited mechanics and massage therapists online and charged them a P20,000 placement fee.
He also required his victims to have a one-on-one session with him.
The suspect also promised the victims a P90,000 monthly salary, and once they believed him, he would engage in the alleged sexual harassment.
According to the NBI, the victims came from different areas in the country such as Aklan, Cagayan, Isabela, Bicol and Cavite.
'Sila'y pinangakuan ng trabaho sa Japan. Under the pretext of conducting training activity, minomolestiya niya ng sexual at marami sa kanila ang nagreklamo na maliban sa illegal recruitment,' Atty Eric Nuqui, NBI Cavite District North chief.
(They were promised jobs in Japan. Under the pretext of conducting a training activity, the suspect molested the victims, and many of them filed a sexual harassment complaint, aside from the illegal recruitment.)
'Wala hong kaukulang permit o lisensya ang nasabing recruiter para mag conduct ng overseas recruitment. Sa initial investigation natin, lumalabas na ang kanyang recruitment activities ay nag start noong 2019 at marami na siyang nabiktima,' Nuqui said.
(The suspect has no permit or license to conduct overseas recruitment. Based on our initial investigation, his recruitment activities started in 2019 and already has a lot of victims.)

Robber on motorbike nabbed after motorist gives chase
Two robbers on a motorcycle thought they would get away with stealing money from a pedestrian, until a motorist who saw the crime chased them down in Caloocan City. According to Marisol Abdurahman's exclusive report in '24 Oras' on Thursday, CCTV footage of a portion of McArthur Highway in Caloocan City showed a man standing on the side of the road and a man on a motorcycle nearby, both wearing helmets, seemingly waiting for someone. When a man tried to walk past them, they moved in, pointing a gun at him and taking what turned out to be P152,000 in cash the victim was going to deposit in a bank for his company. They then got on the motorcycle and fled. What the robbers were not expecting was a car that had paused on the road while the incident was going down. When the riders fled, the motorist gave chase. 'Hinabol niya po yung riding-in-tandem hanggang sa naabutan niya at ito'y binangga niya,' said Caloocan Police Investigation Section chief Rommel Caburog. (The driver chased the riders, caught up to them, and hit them with the car.) The suspects fell off their motorcycle. Nearby police arrested one of them, while the other was able to escape. The money was recovered. The Caloocan Police believe the thwarted robbery was an inside job, and that a co-worker of the victim could be involved. 'Sa tingin po namin may tipster po sa loob, nagsasabi na 'O, palabas na si…, magde-deposit na 'yan, abangan n'yo na 'yan,' said Caburog. (We think there's a tipster inside who's saying, 'Oh, he is coming out, he is about to make a deposit, keep an eye out for him.) The authorities also learned that the suspects are part of a robbery-hold-up group in the area. GMA Integrated News reached out to the arrested suspect, who ended up with bruises and scrapes. He refused to comment. The search for his partner continues. — Vince Angelo Ferreras/BM, GMA Integrated News
