00:00 A man who claimed to be the first lawyer arrested in Pasay

00:03 who was charged with more than half a million pesos

00:08 was arrested for the same crime.

00:10 This is Niko Wahe.

00:12 With the help of the police, the client himself arrested his own lawyer

00:19 in a coffee shop in Pasay City.

00:22 The client who claimed to be the first to be identified

00:25 was aware that his transaction was with a fake lawyer.

00:29 We have a demand here in our area in Binangonan.

00:34 I asked my acquaintances,

00:39 I have an acquaintance who is a referee.

00:43 Attorney Robert S. P. Garcia is the suspect's acquaintance.

00:47 When we looked at the lawyer's list on the Supreme Court website,

00:51 the same name and roll number appeared.

00:54 But Robert P. Garcia is the real name of the suspect.

00:58 That name is not on the list of current lawyers in the country as of January 2024.

01:05 The victim was only paid half a million pesos.

01:09 He's asking for a lot of money.

01:11 We reached 541,000 pesos in fiscal.

01:16 His appearance fee is 60,000 pesos.

01:19 In December, he requested a second appearance fee of 120,000 pesos.

01:26 We only paid half of that.

01:30 Garcia said that he was entitled to appear before the victim

01:33 in the preliminary investigation of the case he was charged with.

01:36 He was entitled to appear four times as a lawyer in fiscal.

01:40 But the victim was afraid that Garcia would ask for a Christmas gift.

01:45 Christmas gift worth 60,000 pesos.

01:49 I asked for 30,000 pesos until it became 20,000 pesos, but I didn't give it.

01:54 I checked with other lawyers and we got a second opinion.

01:59 This is where we learned that many documents were leaked by Garcia,

02:03 including the notaries of the documents and their IDs.

02:07 The victim also found the real attorney, Robert S. P. Garcia.

02:12 We don't know the process of filing the case, so we just did what we could.

02:20 The half payment of the second acceptance fee was the way to corner Garcia.

02:26 Garcia admitted that he is not a lawyer, but he studied law so he knows the law.

02:33 I studied law, but I didn't pass the bar exam.

02:37 He is a smart guy. He didn't introduce the victim to a lawyer, but only a consultant.

02:42 He also benefited from the payment of the victim.

02:46 He repaired my car. He also gave me a gift.

02:54 He is a good speaker. He is a good dresser.

02:58 You would think he is a lawyer.

03:00 That's why he was able to believe our complaint.

03:04 We sued him for swindling.

03:07 Nico Juahe, reporting for GMA Integrated News.

03:12 [music]
