Sometime in May 16, 2002 Daisy M. Balagtas born on June 29, 1975 also known as Rowena E Reyboneria of 58 Lilang St., Serrano Subdivision, Valenzuela City Metro Manila telephoned me here in the USA to borrow money in the sum of $500.00 to payoff her debt to a friend.  Subsequently, the following day she phoned me again and told me that she needed another $500.00 to send her belongings and packages to the Philippines.  I requested a favor from a Korean business friend here in U.S.A. to phone her sister in Seoul, Korea to transfer money to Daisy’s bank account.  Daisy promise to pay. (Recorded messages)

    I come to know Daisy M Balagtas through the internet.  At first she introduced me her name as Aira.  Soon after that she said her name was Rowena Reyboneria. We became sweethearts and thus prompted me to meet her in the Philippines for the first time around May of 2001.  My feelings for Daisy grew fast because of her sweet manipulation and the fact that she hides her true inner self through religious organization pretending to be a good Christian woman.  She has made many promises which includes making me truly believe she is an honest and a trust worthy person.  I trusted her from the start.

    While meeting her the first time in the Philippines, we stayed at the Citta Del at P. Burgos, Makati City where an incident also occurred while I left her in the hotel room and attended a doctor’s appointment. She took advantage of my absence and ran off with my $5000.00 platinum diamond engagement ring without my knowledge thus prompting me to call the Makati Police however, she return the ring back and promise not to do it again.  Prior to my trip to the Philippines in April of 2001, I had a conversation with Daisy on the phone  that I am not ready to go on a trip back to the Philippines and that I am not financially set to go at the time however she assured me that everything will be taken care by her as far as hotel accommodation and transportation.  When I arrived soon after, I discovered that she lied and ended up being embarrassed and humiliated at the hotel we stayed - for her not living up to her promises.  Her excuse to me quote “ I thought you were only testing me that you didn’t have any money.  Fortunately, I always carry a little amount for emergency.  I bailed her out from that situation.

    In May of 2002, Daisy and I went on a tripping to look at some Condominiums for sale in Makati which I planned to buy.  My trip there is very short.  I asked Daisy that I will open a dollar account under her name in Metro Bank (Makati Ave Branch) Tel.# 750-1833 so that she can make the transaction for me and that I will send the money directly to the account however, when I returned here in the U.S.A. June 2, 2002, I found out that she closed the account and withdrew all the money.  I phoned her immediately and asked her what she did with the money.  She stated that she gave it to her father for safekeeping.  When I talked to her father, he didn’t know anything about it.  After that conversation, Daisy disappeared and I am not able to contact her.

Not long after, in June 4, 2002 I was also surprised and noticed that there was a foreign withdrawal from my credit card in the amount of Php2000 without my authorization. 

Upon discovery of this fact I kept trying to contact her but I was not able to locate her.  I tried calling her parents house in Bulacan but was told she went to Zambales and they have no knowledge of her address or telephone number.

    The trust I gave her includes entrusting to her my credit card and giving valuable presents and personality gifts such as Compaq laptop computer, camera, portable air conditioning, 26 inch TV, phone recorder, expensive clothes, nebulizer, etc. for which I am not claiming back because what’s given is given but the trust and money owed is different.

I exerted so much effort to locate her to no avail;

    Amidst all this occurances and incidence, this created suspicion on my mind of Daisy’s true character and prompted me to call around to investigate.

On June 23, 2002, I had one of my Korean friend here in the USA called Daisy’s former employer in Seoul, Korea to investigate the packages that Daisy left behind and that’s how I am able to obtain her other passport number.  Mr. Shin (Asia Entertainment) - Daisy’s employer at 260-176 Itaewon Yongsan-gu, Seoul, Korea, Tel.# (822) 749-1341 was very furious on the telephone about Daisy running off without their knowledge owing them according to his statement (recorded conversation in Korean) 500,000.00 won = $400.00 U.S. dollars.  That same day and time, per conversation with Miss Kim in Korea also known as (Pinky) Korean acquaintance of Daisy inform me that Daisy is a big liar and also ran off owing her 400,000.00 won = $350.00 U.S. dollars.

Febuary of 2002, I received a phone call from Miss Jin-Young, Lim of Yoolim Real Estate Consulting of 310-29 Dongbinggo-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, Korea, telephone # 822) 794-7633 that Daisy also ran off owing her company an undisclosed amount.  This should have given me a hint about Daisy.

I am permanently residing in the United States of America and is gainfully employed there.  Thus I have to go back home to attend to my work, failing to recover my lost money from Daisy M. Balagtas;

    I am executing this affidavit-complaint to ask help from the Philippine government agencies especially the National Bureau of Investigation, Bureau of Immigration and the Department of Foreign Affair to forestall any attempt by the said Daisy M. Balagtas from leaving the Philippines to enable me to file a case against her when I come back July 15^th 2002 in the Philippines.

Daisy is known to buying other peoples passports for her fraudulent purposes according to her so called friends in Seoul, Korea.

Not only did she falsify a government public document but she also defrauded me close to an estimated amountof $14,000.00 U.S. dollars.
