00:00Instead of being cheap, the couple got an expensive house for their love.
00:06The previous owner left it in ruins, far from how it looks when they win the bid.
00:13The love story of Jonathan Andal.
00:20This is the house that was bought from the love fund last year.
00:25But when the previous owner left,
00:28it was left in ruins.
00:31At that time, the house was in good condition.
00:34It was only a day before the sheriff evicted them.
00:37And the house only got better.
00:40The furniture and all the doors were demolished.
00:45The walls were broken down to remove all the windows.
00:49The sink, toilet and faucets were removed.
00:52Even the power cables were stripped.
00:55And the drainage in the house was filled with cement.
01:00It's a mess.
01:01When you enter here, it's like the house was ransacked.
01:05You'll really cry.
01:06The reason why the previous owner left is because we didn't let them stay until January 30.
01:14Because they want to celebrate Christmas and New Year here in the house.
01:17And there's someone who will replace us with the one we're renting.
01:21That's why we got stuck.
01:23According to the buyer, this is a foreclosed property.
01:26It was bought by the love fund because the previous owner didn't pay for 10 years.
01:31The love fund sold the new owner for 2.9 million pesos.
01:35The down payment is only 15,000 pesos.
01:38And the monthly down payment is only 19,000 pesos.
01:41Within 30 years.
01:43But instead of being cheap, they're even more expensive.
01:46The settlement is now up to half a million pesos.
01:51They will replace the house owner who was also bought by the previous owner.
01:55And they will also pay for the 4,000 pesos water bill.
02:00We already paid for our insurance.
02:03We already paid for our savings.
02:05According to the love fund, this is considered vandalism and theft.
02:12There's no justice.
02:14The occupant was not allowed to take or destroy anything in the said property.
02:19Because it was already owned by the previous owner.
02:22It's written here in the notice of decay.
02:24He was not allowed to move or vandalize or steal the said property.
02:31The new owner already won the first lawsuit.
02:34That's why the residents were allowed to leave after the month of Shum.
02:37But they plan to go to court again.
02:39We agreed to this interview.
02:41It was to destroy the previous owner.
02:44We understand that they were angry that's why they did this.
02:48But I hope they know for themselves the consequences of what they did to the property.
02:55They asked the love fund to re-assess the value of the house.
02:59Because its condition is far from what they won in bidding.
03:03We can no longer re-assess it.
03:06Because again, it was the prior occupant who destroyed and did these things.
03:11You can hope that we will approach you.
03:14And we will ask you to help us in chasing the prior occupant.
03:23Our program is open to the residents of the house.
03:26The new owner can no longer be traced and there is no contact in the barangay.
