SM MOA (SHOPLIFT) - SETTLEMENT

First of all, kwento ko muna ang nangyari. I was in the 3rd floor of MOA and was caught using my "own" foundation who still has the price tag worth 499. Due to shaking and being paranoid, coz the guard iz shouting that I didn't pay thr foundation that I put on my bag, sumama ako ng maayos and I am with my 5 yr old brother. Iniisip ko siya, pinagtitinginan kasi. When we get there sa office, I've found a lot of things found on my tote bag from SM which is meron akong receipt nun na binili ko. Pinipilit nilang pinasok ko lahat sa tote bag ko yung mga yun. Dumating yung Manager na may nilalabas na sila sa tote bag ko. I was asking for settlement nalang para makauwi na kami ng kapatid ko. But then hindi ko na alam ang nangyayari. Hindi ko talaga matandaan. Hula ng mga professors ko na hiningan ko ng tulong, na hypnotized ako, may ipinasok nalang sa bag ko. Hindi ako nanlaban, kasi baka patayin nila kami ng kapatid ko. Ang natatandaan lang ng kapatid ko, sinisigawan daw ako sa Police Station. Ang bilis ng pangyayari, nahimasmasan ako nasa Police Station na ako and ikukulong daw ako. My family was shocked coz if it's only shoplifting, dapat dinaan nila ako ng Legal but no, and pina settle nalang sana yung mga items na nakita sa tote bag ko (na for me hindi ko talaga kinuha, yung nakita ni guard na pinasok ko sa bag ko, napatunayan nilang sa akin yun but then tinuluyan parin ako I don't know why) Dineretso ako agad sa Police Station, hindi ko natatandaan na gumawa ako ng incident report or pinagsalita nila to know my side, what I remember is pinipicturan nila yung mga gamit ko and ako. Wala akong magawa, di ako makalaban, tinititigan nila ko ng masama nakakaintimidate talaga lalo na't di umaalis yung guard sa tabi ko paano kung barilin niya ko kung nagsalita ako what I am thinking is yung safety ng kapatid ko talaga, knowing coz I have medical issue, may CML ako, Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, pinagbigyan ako na sa vip room ako. At nagulat yung head ng CIDG na may leukemia pala ako kaya pinayagan niya ko sa vip roo, kaso wala na siyang magawa kasi ang bilis nga ng pangyagari, naka file na lahat pati yung ipapasa fiscal, nag papa inquest na agad sila. Nagtataka sila coz this is only shoplifting and I don't have any idea what really happened. No cctv shown kung ginawa ko nga yun. After paying the bail/bond Dec.5 7pm, we were advised that the first hearing is on Dec 8, 2016 8:30am. Sobrang bilis!! We were so shocked!! We have an appointment yesterday to CRO but they don't entertain us, so we decided na bumalik today, they responded naman and give us a number of the Legal office for settlement sana, para matanong rin how much to pay. Pero binabagsakan kami ng telephone. The total costs of the items is 4,300+. What am asking right now is, paano yung process po ng settlement sa SM. Na-reset po kasi yung hearing ng March 9, 2017 po. Para lang po aware kami. Sobrang dami po kasi kahapon na tao dun sa settlement every thursday lang po kasi sila 9-12. Kung may idea po kayo. Pa-help naman po how to. I only have 1 valid ID. Thank you so much for the help. God bless you po.

we have the same case, ano pong nangyare sa settlement? kami by tom pa lang punta sa moa,

Hello. I'm done na last December 15.

san po location nung settlement office ng sm ? tyaka sino po ang kakausapin >? may bayad po ba ? and mabilis lang po ba yung process ?

Had, same case with yours, but I just had my case dismissed na last Feb 2. Nag issue na ng desisitance order ang SM management.. Pwede, kayo punta every Tues and Thurs sa One ecom 10th floor. Talk, to their lawyers. Peron indi agad nasesettle pagpunta dun.. Show, them willing kayo mkipagsettle need nyo mangulit with them... Samahan, nyo n din ng prayers...

Okay nakapunta napo kame don. pero okay na daw makikipag settle daw po dun sa mall na pinangyarihan. Nakapag hearing po ba kayo bago po nasettle yung case ?

bakit sa mga simple bagay pinapahirapan nila ang mga mahihirap? okay lang sana ang mga professional theft.

@vincetxzc
Yes series of hearing na... Ok na daw ba ung settlement mo?

okay na daw po. hinihintay nalang po namin yung sagot nung sm kung mag kano babayadan. may hearing pa po ba talaga ? bago i dismiss ?

@Yekcim
Nakikipag settle po ba talaga ang SM? Had the same case last May lang po. Kinulong kami ng kapatid ko, nakausap na namin yung mga civilian guard na sinabing nagshoplift kami & they advise us na pumunta muna sa legal department nila sa moa.. kaya lang sabi nung head security nila it's up to the lawyers na daw kung makikipag settle or hindi, kapag daw hindi nakipag settle wala na daw silang magagaw. First time nangyare samen yun & natrauma kami sobra kasi that time pati mga pinamili namin na may receipt kinuha nila

SM East Ortigas Dept Store

Hello sa lahat, my story happened today at SM department store.

Here's my story, my mom and I went shopping sa SM and we talked about if she have anything else to look for or shop for. So she said she need daster(pambahay). So I said "ok ma sa dept store tayo tumingin since I need to buy head bands". So going inside dept store I went to look for headbands atleast 3 designs and when I'm done I search for my mom on that floor kung saan ako nagcheck then she messaged me she's at 2nd floor restroom. So sabi ko "Okay ma, I'm looking for dresses lang and decide to fit 2 dress na maganda". I knew that my mom will pay for stuff I want namand din. So heading to the fitting room nagffit nko after I''m done nagpakuha ako another stock ng size ng isang dress due the dress alteration kasi di pantay and also bigger size nung isang dress tapos yung isa okay tapos binigay ko lahat ng dress na di ko bibilhin at nasukat. So yun nga tapos na ako magfit nagiintay kami ng mom ko sa fitting room for the saleslady na ibigay sakin yung gusto ko dress in right size, I suddenly put the other dress and headbands sa shopping bag ni Mommy na nabili niya outside the dept store. But while waiting, the saleslady asked me where other dress I tried na sabi ko naibigay ko na sa saleslady na kumuha ng other stock ng dress na hinihintay ko. So yun dumating yung nagbigay then okay na naglalakad na kami lumapit isang saleslady "mam yung stripe dress po nasa shopping bag niyo" sabi ko ay sorry nakalimutan ko tanggalin di ko na kukunin yung isa kasi siyempre may oras na kukunin mo at magiisip ka if u're sure or not while shopping. So I'm okay then we're heading to cashier to pay for my dress na is which cost 1499. Okay na, so pag labas namin dept store kumain kami ni mommy ng lunch before going home when we're done. May nagapproach samin na 2 employees asking for our receipt and for the items bought sabi ko ito yung bag na binilhan then mom checked meron pala naiwan na headbands na cost 149.75 pesos sa isa pang shopping na outside the store nabili so yun pa pala nakalimutan ko isama sa babayaran. Ginawa kong basket kumbaga. It was UNINTENTIONALLY taken. Since nagmamadali na kami umuwi ni ma, sinabi ko na di ko na bibilhin na lang peri sabi "sama daw ako sa office para makausap" so I followed them naman. On the way to the security office, kinausap ako and said write my statement sabi ko ano ba mga isusulat ko dito, kung ano daw ginawa ko sa dept store. So yep I wrote everything but they only said magiging okay lang po lahat "IF I'm going to cooperate with them" then I agreed since I'm positive and clear na wala ako balak magnakaw I have money more than the cost of the headbands value that was taken outside the store. So yun nga I just wrote my statement they gave me also a WAIVER paper to sign ako yung affidavit na pipirma but before I signed nilagay nila I took the stuff but INTENTIONALLY. Sabi ko di ito tama di ko sadya e. Tapos sinabi ba naman yung kelangan lang nila yung name and address saka value nung gamit na nailabas. So sabi ko ito ba yung sinasabi niyo makicooperate ako kahit di naman sadya and in the paper nakalagay sadya and I said they have to edit it kasi mali. Pero sabi bawal magedit kasi yung name and add lang ang need un lang daw ttignan o target. So i asked if I can take pictures or copy of my statement and the waiver. Bawal daw. At bakit? Confidential daw nila yun. And I feel like victim here. So i calm down and agree to their PROCEDURE/SYSTEM since my mom and I need to leave na for other meetings and kasi yun daw naman ginagawa nila sumusunod lang daw sila sa Procedure. They're doing this for them not to lose their jobs but instead of fighting for the right things. They said may evident sila, sabi ko are you saying ang evident niyo is yung may nakita kayo UNINTENTIONALLY di nabayaran. Tapos gagamitin niyo sakin ito dahil ganon nga para may makasuhan kayo. And if you're already following me and my mommy sa loob pa lang you should have stop me and pay for it. Kasi ang ginawa nila is let go and then later complaint outside na so they can file o whatever they will do. Oh also they ask me to count my money inside my wallet for CCTV purpose lang which is irrelevant sa issue. And if they physically abused when they approached pero hindi naman. Di ko lam bakit ganyan.

But anyway, after I signed my waiver and did my statement pinaleave na nila ako and assure me wala na itong follow up issues. They didn't take a mugshot or a pic of me but they have my ID info lang. not sure if they scan my id with pic pa or not.

Pero here's my question/curiosity, may mangyayari ba sakin after I wrote my statement and signed my waiver? Like may subpoena pa ba, hearing, and follow up arrest o ail, and my NBI Clearance mah-hit? Since wala naman sila sinabi na dapat kong gawin pa and they didn't even let me pay the 145.75 " unintentionally stolen" items para maginhawa pakiramdam nila. They just let me go after. From what I feel yung statement paper ko and waiver paper ay magagamit nila somewhere laban sakin. Kaya please tell me ano kaya mangyayari ba sakin after?

Can someone answer my dilemma? Please

HEllo qwertykamr,

I have sent you a PM please check

Thanks!

Hi Dark_wing24 I sent a email msg regarding my story. Thanks!

Hello po. I have a same case po. Pa help naman po mag 7 or 8 hearing na po ako sa darating na nov 28. Kasi po pag tumatawag ako, lagi nalang po nika sinasabi na. "Yes sir nandito na pangalan mo, bali ngayon wala pa po approval ng management depende po kasi un kahit umabot ng taon. Bali sir follow up mo nlng po ulit by next next week." Mga ganyan po lagi ang sinasabi pag natawag ako. Ano po ba magandang gawin ko? Pumunta nalang po ba dapat ako ng derekta sa office nila? Pls reply po thanks po. Nakaka depressed na po talaga. Lagi ako kinakabahan tuwing hearing ko po.

Wag kang kabahan, ganyan talaga, kung gusto mo agad mapadali settlement mo better lagi ka pumupunta dun show them your sincere kasi everytime na pumupunta ka dun rinerecord nila.

aabutin nang taon yan kung di ka pumupunta, calling them is not enough.

Hi po. Nahuli po ako sa Watsons nung October 20, 2017 at nakulong din. Nakalabas po ako nung November 2, 2017. Pumnta po ako ng Legal Office sa MOA nung November 16, 2017. Nag-aantay nalang po ako ng Approval. Maaapprove po kaya ung settlement ko ? Mga ilang months po kaya aabutin ?

Hello, aask ko lang po sana kung matagal ang processing ng settlement ng SM? naka RFI kasi ako then gusto ko na pumunta sa SM para makapagsettle mabilis lang kaya yun?
