00:00The DSWD continued its assessment on the family of the viral female Sampaguita vendor who was attacked by the security guard.
00:08According to the family, the syndicates have nothing to do with their sales.
00:12Niko Juahe was the one who was targeted.
00:17Some are wondering why the Sampaguita girl Marie looks like she's wearing a high school uniform.
00:23She doesn't have a real name while selling.
00:26According to her parents, she's already 22 years old and in college.
00:30Marie's mother said,
00:32If she's not wearing a uniform, they have nothing to do with their sales.
00:37Because if she's wearing a uniform, they feel sorry for her.
00:41Marie is not at home when we visited her earlier because she has to go to school.
00:46Marie's sister said that she's also selling.
00:49We're already used to it. Since elementary school, we've been selling uniforms.
00:55When we come back from school, we sell directly.
00:59The truth is, sometimes we don't sell even if we're wearing a uniform.
01:03For example, there are no people, or there are a lot of people but no one is buying.
01:09They don't want to use their college uniform.
01:12There's always a fight.
01:17Since we're wearing the same color, that's the only uniform we're wearing.
01:22On the day that the video was taken, Marie's sister said that they had a conversation that night.
01:28We saw each other at 9 p.m. because we were going home at 10 p.m.
01:33She went home and she was already selling in front of us.
01:38But that time, she told me that she was just sitting on the stairs.
01:45Then she was approached by the guard.
01:48She insisted that they're not syndicates, just like what was said in the online comments.
01:53To those who are judging, I don't force you to believe me because I'm wearing a uniform.
02:01A lot of people say that when I'm selling, I'm a syndicate.
02:05They're saying that we're being banned.
02:07But I'm not forcing you to believe me because I know that I'm really studying.
02:12I'm not forcing you to believe me because I know that I'm really studying.
02:18It seems that their private life is also in a mess.
02:21We're also in trouble.
02:23Some of us went to school because they're looking at us.
02:26The DSWD continued the assessment on Marie's family,
02:29which was given P20,000 to pay for her matriculation.
02:34Although the PNP confirmed that Marie is not a member of the syndicate,
02:38Marie will know if there are syndicates that use children to sell their savings.
02:43We're still trying to get a security guard.
