The mandatory SIM list-up ended last month, around the same time Ejercito’s son, Emilio, was scammed by an unidentified mobile phone caller.
“My son recently, naku, ‘yung kanyang savings ng ilang taon nung nagtatrabaho na, nalimas. Na-scam,” Ejercito told reporters in an interview on Friday.“Mukhang inside job eh ,” he said, noting that the scammer knows all information about his son, like his birthday and house address.“Nung nabigyan s’ya ng credit card after nun may mga tumawag na sa kanya, asking for information. Ang nakapatagtaka, alam n’ya ‘yung info eh kaya sabi kong inside job. Alam ‘yung mga background lahat,” Ejercito said.
“To cut the story short, nalimas ‘yung kanyang savings ng ilang taon kong binibigay sa kanya. Matipid tong bata eh. Hindi gumagastos, talagang ‘pag binibigyan ng pamasko o birthday talagang tinatago niya. P100,000 yata ‘yun, P120,000…” the senator said. Ejercito said the fraud was already reported to the cybercrime division of the National Bureau of Investigation.The senator mentioned the incident when asked about the vast confidential and intelligence funds proposal in the 2024 national budget for certain government offices like the Department of Information and Communications Technology .If the DICT would use the budget for anti-fraud, then the request would be justifiable, Ejercito said.Your subscription has been successful.
