Do Not Approach Me
One day, Controversial Celebrity (CC) and her friends were spotted walking in a high-end mall. What attracted attention was not the immediate recognition of CC, but the way she carried herself. CC was fully covered with a jacket. She was obviously hiding her face, which was unusual for shopper in such a mall. Moreover, CC remained in the middle of her group and that was their setup as they made their way around. It took time for some people to recognize that the covered woman was CC.
What bothered the onlookers was why CC seemed to hide her identity. After all, she was in a mall, whereby most shoppers are those who can afford branded merchandise. In other words, most shoppers in the said mall would not bother with CC, as they would obviously not know her.
The few who recognized CC wondered if CC felt that fans would mob her, which was far from reality given the status of the stores in the mall. Besides, CC is not really among the major female actresses of her network, and these days, she’s hardly seen in projects. Therefore, even if she had walked around without wearing her disguise, most would not recognize her at all, and few would even dare approach her due to her reputation.
Unfortunately, things are not turning out well in her professional life. She has yet to be cast in a major teleserye project, and her last project was months ago. Her social media seems to be active, but any posting she uploads is always fair game for bashers.

We are aware that URC and its account at Metrobank have been mentioned in an apparent internal Metrobank issue involving fraud. Even as Metrobank continues to conduct an internal investigation on the matter, we would like to assure everyone that the integrity and security of URC, and its account at Metrobank, remain unaffected by the said incident. We thank Metrobank President Fabian Dee for giving us the heads up advice and such assurance as we wish them all the best in seeking an expeditious solution to the matter.
P900-M internal fraud rocks Metrobank
Source: www.business.inquirer.net
Metropolitan Bank and Trust Co. (Metrobank), the country’s second-largest bank, has been hit by internal fraud that a senior official allegedly perpetrated, causing it to lose at least P900 million.
The Inquirer learned that Metrobank, owned and controlled by George Ty, may have lost as much as P2.5 billion after a bank vice president allegedly funneled disbursed loans into fictitious accounts created in the name of a legitimate client, Universal Robina Corp.
The funds in the fake accounts, controlled by the rogue officer, were then siphoned off electronically to other accounts in other financial institutions and into the pockets of the suspect.
An internal investigation has yet to determine whether the officer was acting alone or in league with others.
BSP probe
This prompted Governor Nestor Espenilla Jr. of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) to launch a probe to determine how a single official was able to circumvent the bank’s internal controls to commit “qualified theft.”
“We are going to investigate this matter, that you can be sure of,” said the BSP chief, who is three weeks into his six-year term as the country’s chief banking regulator.
The BSP immediately mobilized its examiners and auditors to pore over Metrobank’s records.
A Metrobank official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the probe was going on, said the preliminary amount of the stolen funds that could be confirmed as of Thursday stood at “around P900 million.”
VP arrested
The suspected rogue official has been identified as Maria Victoria Lopez, a vice president at the corporate services unit of Metrobank’s Makati City head office.
She was arrested on July 17 by the National Bureau of Investigation in a sting operation on the bank’s premises.
Lopez, 54 and one year away from the mandated retirement age, is detained at the NBI headquarters, according to sources.
False loan releases
Metrobank is expected to file charges against her next week.
Another banker, who was familiar with the details of the scam, told the Inquirer that the suspect engineered false loan disbursements from Metrobank to the fake Universal Robina account “in tranches of P30 million.”
“She or they did this over a long period for P30 million disbursements to reach a total of P2.5 billion,” the banker said. “How far back? That’s what they’re trying to figure out right now.”
Metrobank, a publicly listed company, had P1.9 trillion in assets as of the first quarter of 2017. It earned P6.21 billion from January to March.
Metrobank had 959 domestic branches and 202 foreign branches, offices and subsidiaries last year. —WITH A REPORT FROM INQUIRER RESEARCH
