MANILA – The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) on Thursday said it has arrested two women in Naic, Cavite on charges of offering bogus titles of subdivision projects.
In a statement, NBI Director Jaime Santiago says the NBI-Cavite District Office – North (NBI-CAVIDO North) arrested Irene Rosal and Resie Jane Pacon on Aug. 6 for swindling/estafa and for violation of Presidential Decree No. 957, or the Subdivision and Condominium Buyers’ Protective Decree.
The case stemmed from multiple complaints by individuals who were allegedly deceived into believing that a subdivision project being offered by Rosal and Pacon through MJRL Landsource Realty was legitimately registered and had a license to sell from the Department of Human Settlement and Urban Development (DHSUD).
An investigation and verification with DHSUD 4-A (Calabarzon) confirmed that the project was unregistered and had no license to sell.
NBI-CAVIDO North agents, assisted by DHSUD officers, conducted an entrapment operation that led to the arrest of the suspects.
Recovered from Rosal and Pacon were an MJRL Landsource Realty receipt, a lot plan for Landsource Residences (Phase 1), a master list of lot buyers, and a lot distribution map, among others.
The DHSUD had already issued a cease-and-desist order against MJRL Landsource Realty.
Santiago said the arrest serves as a reminder that the real estate industry is heavily regulated and that compliance with the law is crucial for developers, management, and buyers. (PNA)
