Sa panayam ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) at iba pang miyembro ng media, ibinunyag ni Atty. Joseph Noel Estrada na nahaharap sa demandang syndicated estafa ang Kapuso actor na si Ken Chan.

Nagkakahalaga raw ng PHP14 million ang perang hinahabol sa aktor ng kanyang kliyente na hindi niya muna pinangalanan.

Ihahain sana kay Ken ang Warrant of Arrest sa kanya dahil sa pormal na siyang kinasuhan ng Quezon City Prosecutor's Office, ngunit hindi natagpuan ng mga aaresto sa kanya si Ken sa bahay nito.

Ayon kay Atty. Estrada, pangalawang beses nang inisyuhan ng Warrant of Arrest si Ken. Bigo ring naihain sa kanya ang unang warrant.

00:00There is a pending warrant of arrest that was issued to him along with his co-accused.
00:10So the warrant was not served and they are still looking for him.
00:15What is the exact case that was filed against him?
00:20He and 7 more co-accused were charged with syndicated estafa under Article 315 of the revised penal code.
00:33They have a pending case and it is already in the court and there is a pending warrant of arrest.
00:39What are the basic details of why he was charged with estafa?
00:45Basically, there is a complainant who, according to the complaint, was denied an investment by Ken Shan.
00:54They were not authorized to solicit investments from the public.
01:00And using misrepresentations and fraudulent schemes, they were able to get money from the complainant.
01:09And because of that, he was charged with syndicated estafa.
01:12How many complainants were charged?
01:17In this case, there is only one complainant.
01:22I don't know if there are other complainants against them.
01:26But in this case, there is only one complainant.
01:31And more or less, the money involved is around Php 14 million.
01:37One Php 14 million?
01:40I think, based on the complaint, there are two complainants.
01:46It's a matter of less than a year.
01:50And there is only one complainant?
01:52There is only one complainant.
01:53We don't know if there are other complainants.
01:56We don't know.
01:59There are 8 people charged with Ken Shan?
02:02There are 8 people charged with syndicated estafa.
02:04The case is non-bailable.
02:06Attorney, what is the relationship between the complainant and Ken?
02:09How did he find out? How did he invest?
02:13It's a long story.
02:15Of course, I cannot talk about the merits of the case.
02:18Because we are barred by the sub judice rule.
02:21It's already in the court.
02:23We just tried to serve the warrant.
02:27Actually, this is the second time we tried to serve the warrant.
02:32Why was the warrant not served?
02:34We tried to serve the warrant for the second time.
02:36He did not see it.
02:37Because he was not there.
02:38But the other people with him, did they also serve the warrant?
02:41No, they were not there.
02:44There is information that he is outside of the Philippines.
02:47We cannot verify, but we are doing everything to serve the warrant.
02:52But the other people with him, all of them did not show up?
02:56They did not show up.
02:58Were there also showbiz or businessmen with him?
03:04As far as I know, Ken is the only one.
03:07Actually, I don't know if he is a showbiz artist or not.
03:10Attorney, are they a corporation?
03:13Were their companies registered in the SEC?
03:17Yes, there is a corporation.
03:19But it is not authorized to solicit investments from the public.
03:23Has this been going on for a long time?
03:26I cannot confirm that.
03:28I cannot confirm that now.
03:31I cannot confirm that now.
03:34I am sorry.
03:35Sir, this is just the basic information.
03:37We just want to know if the restaurant investment is scam.
03:40Yes, I think that is also a news.
03:44There is a restaurant.
03:47It involves the restaurant business.
03:50When the restaurants open, they will be with the person.
03:54Attorney, who received the warrant of arrest?
03:57There is no one here with him.
04:00What will happen after this?
04:03What will be the next step?
04:05I cannot say what we will do as lawyers.
04:09They do not want us to continue.
04:11We will be burned.
04:13Who was with him when the warrant of arrest was served?
04:15We have a law enforcer.
04:17But it is clarified that he was not served, that he was not received.
04:21No one was received?
04:22No one was received.
04:24Sir, when was the first warrant served?
04:26I am not sure.
04:27But I am not sure when the warrant was issued.
04:30Less than a month ago.
04:31Here?
04:32Yes, here.
04:33Attorney, because the warrant was not served and no one was received,
04:36because there are talks that Genshan is abroad,
04:39what will happen if he returns to the Philippines?
04:43The warrant will be served immediately.
04:44But this will be reported to the court.
04:46But what if he does not return?
04:50We will wait for him to return.
04:52Of course, we have other things to do.
04:54But we cannot say.
04:56Do you have a request from the Bureau of Immigration?
04:59Of course, we will do everything to give him a chance to face the case.
05:05Sir, one last question.
05:06Will the investor directly talk to Genshan?
05:13Yes.
05:14So the money will go to him as well?
05:16To him as well.
05:17When did that happen?
05:18In 2020, when the transaction started.
05:22The case was filed in 2023.
05:24Attorney, what can you discuss?
05:27What violations can Genshan face?
05:30And what is the solution?
05:32This is the last one.
05:33The case is syndicated as TAPA.
05:36This is a non-bailable offense.
05:40Those who are facing this case can be jailed.
05:45This is a reclusion permit.
05:48There is no negotiation to settle the case out of the court?
05:55As far as I know, there is no negotiation.
05:58We, as lawyers, are focused on the legal process.
06:02The negotiations are complete.
06:05What is your full name?
06:06My full name is Atty. Joseph Noel Estrada.
06:09Atty., you said your client has P14,000.
06:11There is a ballpark figure.
06:12How much is that?
06:13P14,000,000.
06:14How much is that in total?
06:16For us, for the complainant that we represent, that is P14,000,000.
06:21Do you have an estimated total?
06:24Do you have an idea?
06:25His total is P14,000,000.
06:29Atty., one last question.
06:30Can we know the name of the complainant?
06:34He's just a worker.
06:37He's also an artist?
06:38No, he's not.
06:39He's a businessman?
06:41Yes, he's a businessman.
06:42He's just a woman?
06:43Yes, he's a woman.
06:44When was the case filed?
06:46I think it was filed on July 20, 2023.
06:52July 20, 2023.
06:54QC or TC?
06:56No, no. Of course, in the fiscal year.
06:58Oh, fiscal year.
06:59QC.
07:00When was the case filed?
07:03QC.
07:04QC?
07:05Yes, QC.
07:06Atty., did you try to talk to GMA 7 about Kenshan's career?
07:11No.
07:12As a lawyer, we're in the legal process.
07:16I can't confirm if we've talked to them.
07:19And the company has no liability where he can apply?
07:23I would expect that for now.
07:25We're just focused on the case.
07:27For example, if Kenshan is going to pay the 14M,
07:30can he make a compromise?
07:32Can he not serve his warrant?
07:34I don't want to be the first to complain,
07:36but for now, we just want him to serve his warrant
07:40so that he can apply.
07:41Of course, it's up to the complainant to decide
07:45how to settle the debt, the civil liability.
07:48But as far as I'm concerned, we're just focused on the case.
07:53Are you open for a makeable settlement with your clientele?
07:57I'll ask after this.
07:59I wouldn't second-guess.
08:01Atty., what is your commitment to the investment?
08:03Will the restaurant refuse?
08:05Well, just like usual investments,
08:10we promised a big monthly interest.
08:14That's why we always say,
08:17the public will be careful.
08:19If it's too good to be true, then it probably is.
08:22But there's news, Tony, that the complainant said
08:25that it's a loss.
08:26So, what will you do?
08:28It's easy to say it's a loss,
08:31but if he asks for money, he'll keep promising.
08:34It's very easy to say.
08:36So, I won't say that I have a case,
08:40but I think we should proceed with the right process.
08:45And the fiscal year was seen,
08:47that it should be raised to the corner.
08:48So, I think there's enough.
08:50Thank you so much.
