Iginiit ng socialite-philantrophist na si Tessa Prieto na wala siyang kinalaman sa investment scam na ikinaso sa kanya at aniya pa, isa rin siyang biktima dahil naloko rin siya ng naka-deal ng nagdemanda sa kanya.   Dahil sa pagmamahal, nabulag daw siya at naloko ng taong minahal niya na siyang may kagagawan daw kaya siya nademanda ng estafa.   #tessaprieto #pepvideo #pepinterviews   Video & interview: Rachelle Siazon Edit: Rommel Llanes  Subscribe to our YouTube channel! https://www.youtube.com/@pep_tv  Read the latest in showbiz at http://www.pep.ph  Watch more videos at https://www.pep.ph/videos  Follow us!

00:00I'm a victim. I was scammed, I was fooled, I was everything.

00:04I will never fall in love, so unconditionally.

00:10May I ask first for Ms. Tessa and your reaction for the junked case,

00:16Estafa case, previously for the first one that was filed?

00:20It was junked?

00:21Yes, it was dismissed thanks to, of course, my able lawyers

00:26and because justice was really served.

00:28And that's why I thought, let's move on.

00:32You know, this is already the court.

00:34This is already the decision.

00:36And then there was an appeal, and that appeal was denied.

00:39And so I said, like, okay, let's go.

00:42Let's move on.

00:43But then there's another case again.

00:45And now it has been already...

00:48It was dismissed based on the merits.

00:51Yeah.

00:52So meaning if it's still on the same sort of elements,

00:56but then it's still, now it's a case.

01:01So then I said, like, okay, let's, let's, let's, let's...

01:04I'm going to stand here to defend myself and my lawyers.

01:07Is it possible to file a new complaint based on if it was the same merits?

01:14No, the first case was for a different transaction.

01:17That's why when this, it involved the same parties, but a different transaction.

01:23More or less the same facts.

01:25So that case, I reiterate, it was dismissed by the Regional Trial Court,

01:29Branch 58 of Makati City.

01:31Even the motion for reconsideration filed was denied.

01:35So this case, the second case, was for the second transaction.

01:40And unfortunately, upon motion for reconsideration,

01:43it was filed with this court, Regional Trial Court 150 of Makati City.

01:49So we're pushing, of course, to defend TESA.

01:52And we hope the justice will be served this time.

01:57But what was the allegation of Estafa for?

02:00Is it for an investment or...

02:03You know, the thing is, I have no clue what it is.

02:06Because I don't even know.

02:07Apparently, you know, I'm involved and whatever.

02:09I convinced the other person that she wouldn't have given the money

02:13if it wasn't for my deduction.

02:15But I said, like, I mean, I'm a victim.

02:17I was already also fooled.

02:19And same with you.

02:21So why don't we both go after the bad one?

02:24But no, she put me with a bad one.

02:26So I don't even know what she is, you know, accusing me of.

02:31The amount and whatever.

02:32So you had no idea of whatever investment she's coming?

02:36No, I have no idea.

02:37No, our client does not have any knowledge about it.

02:39If there is anything for the first case, it was more of a civil liability.

02:44But that is also, you know, not my client, our client is also not accountable.

02:48You know, I think I was caught somewhere in the middle and I had no idea.

02:53And like I said, I'm a victim.

02:56I was scammed.

02:57I was fooled.

02:58I was everything.

02:59So now I said, like, I'm just going to move forward.

03:03But then I can't because then I'm going to be dragged on with another person who was also scammed.

03:07Get the scenario.

03:08Two victims are among many.

03:15Now, the latest victim is accusing me that I introduced and whatever it is to the bad, evil one.

03:23I'm going to pull it down those terms.

03:24What is the lesson that you've learned, Ms. Tessa, after all this?

03:28I will never fall in love so unconditionally.

03:31That's the lesson for me.

03:33Because I love all out.

03:34You know, everything.

03:35I don't see the red flags.

03:37I don't see everything vibrates in love with me.

03:41And so when I already knew that there was something going on, I already put my foot down.

03:46I said, like, you know, family is everything.

03:49I'm going to cry.

03:50You know what I mean?

03:51But then I was still telling that person, please pay everybody.

03:57Please pay everybody.

03:58And then, you know, my lawyer is like, keep quiet.

04:04What do you want to mean?

04:05I just want to feel that why am I getting victimized all over again?

04:13And all my problema was I fell in love.

04:17So I'm correcting that.

04:19So now I'm here with my lawyers to defend myself and prove that justice should be served.

04:27Would you say you weren't too trusting?

04:29Of course.

04:30Like I said, I'm so in love.

04:32Period.

04:33I'm so happy.

04:34So anyway, I said, lesson learned here.

04:39I mean, like, yes, when people invest things and stuff, they, of course, they have their own risks.

04:48Don't blame me in short, right?

04:50If ever there was an investment.

04:52And then I said, like, I didn't even know about the investment.

04:55So I said, well, that was almost two years ago.

05:02That's the weirdest part.

05:04It's still ongoing now.

05:06What we can say is that we want justice to be served.

05:09Yes, and I love my lawyers.

05:12They have been so watching over me and, you know, really guiding me because I have never been in a criminal case ever.

05:23The last time I was here in court was really for my anonymous.

05:27Let me talk about that.

05:29You're kidding.

05:30Yeah.

05:32Yeah, we're ready.

05:33My outfits are ready.

05:34You know, my whole outlook is ready.

05:37And I'm standing here again for maybe myself plus other people that need to have unspoken, like, problems and was also victimized also.

05:49Would you say you have set more boundaries now?

05:53Yes.

05:53Hello.

05:54It cost me so much money to realize this.

05:57Talk about charge it to expensive experience.

06:01But I have.

06:02I have learned a lot.

06:04In the last, I would say, like, five years, I have gone through everything.

06:10You know, end of a marriage.

06:12I mean, like, all the trauma, betrayal, everything.

06:15Everything.

06:16And then now I said, like, I feel stronger.

06:18I feel more positive.

06:19I feel like I think I'm here for a reason.

06:23And that purpose is coming to fruition.

06:26I'm so happy.
