DUMAGUETE City – Twelve persons were facing charges for violation of Republic Act 8484, or the Access Devices Regulations Act.
They were Alpha Christian Villanueva, Joseph Nombre, Bernardo Saragina, Erickson Raymundo, Albert Marasigan, Ray Lester Lizardo, Edward Mijares, Nino Pinido, Christopher Fernandez, John Clyde Angeles, Jonathan Adajar, and Ramon Rodriguez.
Most of the suspects were from Pasay City, Manila.
The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) arrested the suspects after a restaurant in the city reported them.
The suspects were caught around 11:30 p.m. on Sept. 12 while leaving Casa Robin in Barangay Calindagan, a police report showed.
Recovered from the suspects were about 10 fake credit cards, which they had been using to make transactions in the city since Sept. 11, police said.
From what the police gathered so far, the suspects had arrived in the city on board an inter-island vessel on Monday. They hired Saragina, a resident of Bacoor, Cavite, to drive their van for P2,500 daily.
The NBI also found out that Rodriguez, one of the suspects, was a member of the Sputnik Sigue-Sigue Gang.
In an interview, the suspects claimed innocence and said they did the crime for the money.
The NBI was still verifying if the suspects were members of the notorious group of foreigners who run an automated teller machine card-skimming business.
