00:00 A man was beaten in Pasay City after he accused a lawyer.
00:06 The pecking lawyer was beaten.
00:08 The victim was fined half a million pesos.
00:12 BN Manalo is live in the details.
00:15 You're right, Audrey.
00:20 A man is facing charges after he accused a lawyer.
00:24 The suspect is not a fake lawyer.
00:28 He even had his documents checked
00:31 to use his title as an attorney.
00:34 Here's the report.
00:35 This man was cornered by the police in Makapagal Boulevard in Pasay this Saturday.
00:43 The suspect, who was known as Robert S. Garcia,
00:46 was accused as a lawyer.
00:49 The victim was fined half a million pesos.
00:54 This is in exchange for a promise to clear the case
00:57 but the promise was broken.
01:00 He was asking for a lot of money.
01:01 He was fined.
01:03 His appearance fee was 60,000 pesos.
01:06 That was his first appearance.
01:08 Then he was fined by the judge.
01:12 He was fined by the judge.
01:16 Then in December, he requested his second appearance fee.
01:20 It was 120,000 pesos.
01:24 We only paid half of it.
01:27 Then he triggered me to investigate.
01:30 He was asking for a Christmas gift worth 60,000 pesos.
01:35 I was confused.
01:36 He was paying 30,000 pesos until it became 20,000 pesos.
01:39 But I didn't give it to him.
01:40 In the copies of the documents held by the victim,
01:43 there is a title of attorney before the name Garcia.
01:47 Garcia also showed an integrated bar of the Philippines identification card
01:52 that shows a roll number.
01:54 In the Supreme Court's lawyers list,
01:56 there is a lawyer named Robert Garcia
01:59 and the roll number matches the ID shown.
02:03 But the victim found something.
02:05 I checked with other lawyers.
02:07 We had a second opinion.
02:09 The new lawyer found that the notary was fake.
02:13 In the IDC, there is only one Robert S. Garcia, a young man.
02:18 He didn't know that he contacted the real Robert Silva Garcia.
02:23 Garcia admitted that he is not a lawyer,
02:25 but he finished his law school.
02:28 He is just a consultant or he just helped in the filing of the case.
02:33 I graduated from law school.
02:37 I studied law but I didn't pass the bar.
02:40 The suspect denied that he asked for more than half a million pesos from the client.
02:46 I denied that he asked for money.
02:49 If he did something wrong, I would return the money to him.
02:53 He denied that.
02:55 Garcia will face a complaint of swindling.
02:58 There is a list of IBP on the Internet.
03:03 We can check that.
03:05 We can see through the Internet if the lawyer is real.
03:13 Authorities are calling for more victims of the suspect who fell from their roof.
03:19 For now, the suspect is in a custody facility in Pasay City.
03:24 He is facing a case of swindling.
03:27 That is the update.
03:28 Back to you, Audrey.
03:30 Thank you very much, Dian Manalo.
