00:00Through the family of a woman named Sampaguita Vendor who went viral online and was caught by a guard outside the mall,
00:08the woman is just looking for a living and is not part of the syndicate.
00:12They also explained about the school uniform worn by Sampaguita Vendor.
00:17We have the first news from Nika Wahe.
00:20Some wondered why Sampaguita Vendor, Marie, looks like a high school uniform.
00:28She doesn't have a real name while selling.
00:31According to her parents, she is 22 years old and is already in college.
00:36Marie's mother said,
00:38If she doesn't wear a uniform, she won't sell anything.
00:43Because if she wears a uniform, it's like they pity her.
00:47Marie didn't go to their house when we visited her because she has to go to school.
00:51Marie's parents said that she is also part of the syndicate.
00:54We are already used to it.
00:56Since elementary school, we have been selling uniforms.
01:01When we come back from school, we sell directly.
01:04The truth is, sometimes we don't sell anything even if we wear a uniform.
01:09For example, if there are no people, or if there are a lot of people but no one is buying.
01:14They said that they don't want to use their college uniform.
01:17There is a mall, and there is only one.
01:20And they are already fighting.
01:22Because they are the same color, that's the only uniform we wear.
01:27The day that the video was taken, the brother of December 17,
01:31they had a conversation that night.
01:33We see each other at the back of 9.
01:36Because we go home at the same time, about 10.
01:38So, he went home.
01:40He went home and he sold in front of me.
01:43But at that time, he told me that he was just sitting on the stairs.
01:50Then, he was approached by the guard.
01:53His gate is not a syndicate, just like what was said in the online comments.
01:58To those who are judging, I see that you are being forced to wear a uniform.
02:06Because a lot of people say that when I sell, I am a syndicate.
02:09But I am not being forced because I know that I am studying.
02:14My children are not syndicates.
02:16They really strive to study well.
02:21It seems that their private life was also disturbed.
02:23We are also traumatized.
02:25In school, there are also some who look at us.
02:28The DSWD continued the assessment on Marie's family.
02:32They were given P20,000 first, which was supposed to be paid for her matriculation.
02:37The PNP, even though it was proven that Marie is not a member of the syndicate,
02:41will find out if there are syndicates that use children to sell their savings.
02:45We are still trying to get hold of the security guard.
02:49This is the first news for GMA Integrated News.
