I am about to introduce two people -- if they may even be considered such -- who owe almost Php 500,000 to twenty-five or more persons.

The details that I know of are that these two cretins owe:

Php 200,000 (+/-) worth of talent fees and allowances to actors/actresses/production staff of Kapeng Malamig, The Musical;

Php 25,000 to Lawrence Albert Napoco, for musical arrangement;

Php 28,000 (+/-) to Tracy Santuyo, for graphic design;

Php 82,000 to Angeli Garcia, for an office loan;

and various other amounts.

Here are the photos of the swindlers:

Arvin "Avs" Astillero
34 years old
Block 7 Lot 7 Greatland Village
San Pedro, Laguna

Karen "Ren" Capunihan
28 years old
111 Northview Street
Country Homes
Biñan, Laguna

(Arvin is the one wearing a red shirt, and Karen is the one seated.)

Based on what I have gathered, these two have been swindling people left and right for many years now; their list of victims including Don Bosco Technical College and the NCCA.

I would like to ask everyone who reads this to please repost this entry because these two are still at large. I know that most of us here are hardworking individuals who toil for our pay, and that there is nothing more painful than to be betrayed by people who we try to help because we consider them friends. It is exactly in that guise, that of friendship, that these two perpetuate their crimes.

Yes, the people they have recently conned looked up to them and respected them as professionals. Some of the victims are still studying, some of them sacrificed their jobs for the production, a few of them are first-time thespians, and almost all of them are young enough to be your little brothers and sisters.

Please contact me via PM if you have any further information on them; if you have fallen prey to their criminal habits and are willing to testify against them; or if you can offer any kind of help to the aforementioned victims.

Thank you.
