2. I knew the afore-named person as owner of said

those Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW for brevity) working in
Japan. Whenever the OFW would come to visit the Philippines,
they would transact business through Arlyn Parantar for the
booking of tickets going here in the Philippines and vice-versa;

3. Sometimes on October 2016, the following OFW

approached me in order to borrow money for the booking of
round trip tickets via Philippine Airlines for them to avail the
package being offered by the said airlines and purchase tickets
in a very low price, if ever they can book earlier before their
departure. These persons asked me to help them facilitate
their tickets thru Arlyn Parantar and sponsor first the
payment of the tickets and payable when the transaction is
already completed. Hence, this prompted me to communicated
to the said Arlyn Parantar and started transacting with her in
behalf of these OFW who wanted to avail of her services;

5. I was able to cash out One Million and Two hundred

thousand pesos (P1,200,000.00) for the sixty-four (64) OFWs
and gave to Ms Arlyn Parantar in different occasions for their
plane tickets. (hereto attached copy of Bank Transaction
via One Network Bank, Philippine National Bank and
Security Bank under the account of Arlyn Parantar to form
part of this complaint.)

6. These sixty-four OFWs, almost half of them arrived

in Japan in the Philippines on the first week of December
2016 for vacation, while half of them were about to depart
from Japan on the first week of January 2017;

7. Thinking that the transactions were running

smoothly, on November 2016 I was paid Twenty-Thousand
pesos by the afore-mentioned OPWs for the money I cashed
out for their round trip plane tickets which I have transacted
to Ms Arlyn Parantar, the owner of Double A Travel Services;

8. However on the first week of January 2017, I

received several complaints from the first batch of OFWs who
arrived in the Philippines on December 2016, because when
they checked in at the airport for their trip going back to
Japan the plane tickets which Arlyn Parantar gave to them
were marked cancelled by the airlines. Meaning there were
reservations made thru Arlyn Parantar, however the same
was not paid by her causing the airlikne to cancel their
respective tickets. The sad news shocked me because I
thought and presumed that all the tickets given to the first
batch of OFWs were already paid but it was discovered that
only the one way tickets were paid by Arlyn. Upon receipt of
the sad news, I immediately contacted Arlyn Parantar to
inquire from her what happened to the tickets she gave to the
OFWs, but to my surprise, subject person can no longer
contacted in her cellular phone and thru her social media
accounts.

9. In order to avoid the hassle and discomfort because

the said OFWs who were stranded due to the cancelled tickets
have to report to their work in Japan immediately, I refunded
their plane tickets. However, the problem was not yet settled
because the second batch of OFWs who are supported to leave
from Japan going to the Philippines. It was also discovered
that their plane tickets were likewise cancelled by the
Philippine Airlines. Same problem with that first batch of
OFWs who encountered cancellation of their plane tickets;

10. Because my name was dragged into these problems

caused by Ms. Arlyn Parantar and also to avoid being black
listed in Japan, I bought another set of tickets for the second
batch of OFWs who wanted to have a vacation in the
Philippines. The problem made by Ms. Parantar caused me to
cash out with a total amount of One Million Nine Hundred
Thousand pesos (Php 1.9 M) such a huge amount of money
which was lost unexpectedly;

11. I moved from Japan going here in the Philippines

just to fix the problem and try to look for Ms. Arlyn Parantar
but I was surprised that the said person had victimized several
OFWs with the same problem that I encountered. When I went
to the authorities and reported thereto my complaint, I met
several persons who were likewise victimized by her and that I
learned that she has several cases of Estafa before the courts
of law pending therein;

12. I exerted effort to locate Ms. Arlyn Parantar but my

efforts were futile because subject person was already hiding;

That I am executing this affidavit to attest the truth of

the foregoing facts and to apprise the authorities concerned of
my desire to file appropriate charges against ARLYN
PARANTAR.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand
this_____________at Digos City, Philippines.
