A RETIRED American sued his former girlfriend for allegedly stealing his gold coins and making an unauthorized withdrawal from his bank account amounting to about P100,000 total in 2014.

Lewis Franklin Johnson filed a complaint before the Office of the Cebu City Prosecutor accusing Cherie Emnace Momongan of theft and violation of Republic Act 8484 (Access Devices Regulation Act of 1998).

State Prosecutor Simaco Labata found evidence to charge Momongan with theft and violation of Access Devices Regulation Act of 1998 before the Regional Trial Court.

In his affidavit, Johnson said he sought the help of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI 7) after he discovered that his gold coins worth $1,200 were lost.

He also found out that his silver coins worth $17 were missing. The American also reported the unauthorized withdrawal from his dollar bank account amounting to $1,148.

Johnson and Momongan went to the bank and reported the unauthorized withdrawal.

The bank manager told them they could provide video footage of those who withdrew from their bank, but it would need clearance from their head office.

Momongan also confessed to Johnson that she was “kidnapped” and was brought to a warehouse.

She claimed she was blindfolded and was kept inside a dark room.

Momongan said she was “lucky” since she escaped from her captors. She later received text messages threatening her. Johnson said they decided to report the incident to the NBI 7 for fear of their lives.

But NBI 7 investigators doubted Momongan’s claim that she was kidnapped.

While she claimed to be from Barangay Lahug, Cebu City, Momongan is not familiar with Gen. Maxilom Ave.

The investigators suspected that the respondent stole the gold and silver coins and illegally withdrew money from Johnson’s ATM card.

The American received text messages from someone who posed as Momongan and let her withdraw money from his ATM card.

The NBI 7 investigators then accompanied Johnson to view the CCTV from the bank and confirmed that Momongan made several withdrawals on various dates in October 2014.

“It is clear that the kidnapping story is just a hoax and respondent (Momongan) did unauthorized withdrawals,” said Prosecutor Labata in his resolution.

Labata said Momongan took the ATM card, gold and silver coins from the deposit box.

Momongan also admitted to Johnson that she just wanted his money and wished she could get more from him.

Momongan failed to submit her counter-affidavit, which would have given her the chance to refute the charges lodged against her.

Proof again that Filipinas lie and steal. They're NEVER to be trusted.

Filipinas are the worst women in the world. They're #1 on the list of worst women of the world.

She admitted that she just wanted his money and wished she could get more from him.

99% of Filipinas are all the same as her.


These women are TRASH.... PERIOD!!!!

We've got an expression in my country that says, "You can take the girl out of the ghetto. But, you can't take the ghetto out of the girl."

No matter how much you dress them up and give them the good life, the ghetto thinking, manners, and behavior, will still be in them.

This holds true of at least 99% of the Filipinas.

Holding true of our other expression, "You can dress them up. But, you can't take them out."
