4. The following day, she officially started her duties as a part of the
household help. I left home for work at 6am after giving her
instructions on what to do for the day. I arrived home from work at
9:30PM and checked if all her tasks were accomplished. Everything
was in order and I decided to retire for the day.
5. We followed the same routine for one week. On May 15, 2019,
when respondent was out on a day off, I was going through my clothes
basket, looking for a pair of Versace slacks. I was not able to find said
item and decided to ask respondent as to its whereabouts through a
text message. She replied that she had not seen the slacks but
volunteered to look for it once she returned. However, I had forgotten
to inquire about it the following day.
7. I decided to report the incident to the police that same day, but
before I left my house, my neighbor, Ms. Kimberly Reyes, approached
me and said that she kept seeing the respondent talking to a man by
the gate and saw on June 11th, 2019, between 10 to 11 AM, that said
man was permitted to enter the house by the respondent and later
exited the premises while carrying the respondent's belongings with
the addition of a big brown bag.
8. I reported the incident on that same day and tried to contact the
respondent, but she could not be reached and never showed up for
work thereafter.
9. Her acts are clearly within the purview of the of Article 310 of the
Revised Penal Code, as she had taken personal belongings without
consent and without employing violence, intimidation and threat upon
the rightful owner, with grave abuse of confidence.
