TAGUM City Councilor Leo Revita still has compassion for his assistant “Ligaya”, but she said the latter should be imprisoned for stealing nearly P200,000 from the former.
Ligaya, Revita's assistant, was arrested on Wednesday, September 27, 2023 at the Tagum City Police Station after it was proven that she was responsible for stealing almost P200,000 from the councilor's e-wallet.
On Wednesday evening, the councilor went live on her official Facebook page, Team Hamloy, where she confirmed that Ligaya was indeed imprisoned.
The councilor clarified Ligaya's imprisonment and it is not part of their vlog content.
According to Revita, her patience with Ligaya has run out because of how many times she has stolen money, the most recent of which was the use of the councilor's Gcash.
“Giisip nako si Ligaya nga amiga, pamilya. Pero dili lang kaisa nga higayon niya ni gibuhat, wala lang nako gipahibalo sa viewers kay maluoy ko niya, mangayo siya og sorry, moangkon sab siya sa iyang sala,” the councilor said.
The councilor added that on January 1 of this year, she lost P80k, which according to CCTV, Ligaya took. She confessed what she had done, and promised to pay the money slowly.
But Revita was even more upset because Ligaya kept charging her for what she owed.
"Daghan maningilay naga-anhi gikan sa mga tindahan nga iyang giinuman, giutangan ako gihapon nagbaguod og bayad,” Revita said.
Because of this, it came to the point that she kicked Ligaya out of her house and she will only go to her if they make content.
She, however, will still be given a salary, depending on her part in their sideline projects.
Revita admitted that she took pity on Ligaya's situation, but she wanted her assistant to learn a lesson through a legal procedure for stealing from her.
"Wala na ko mahimutang, hatagan nako siya og legalization, matudloan siya og leksiyon,” the councilor said. JPC
