elections affecting k-1

[andrewfromdenver 31]

my fiance blew the whistle on somebody working for local candidate stealing money (while buying votes?) the whole barangay shown up at the municipal center and demanded money back or something.....and because my girl made facebook post about it (it was about someone who stole money/votes that worked for candidate, i think candidate won) she was summoned to a "kagawad" (magistrate?) with the woman is saying my fiance permanently damaged her reputation and is demanding money

 

they had read her facebook and are targeting her because they know she is close to her visa interview

 

she is also threatening to put NBI case on her and telling her that she will make sure that she never leaves the philippines unless she (meaning me) come up with large amounts of money for both her AND her family (who have nothing to do with it)

 

this just went down yesterday.......i lost some of what happened during translation.....i been contacting lawyers in area (on something unrelated) but they never answer back

 

can they do that? stop our visa process? as far as i know our process comes from USA not philippines province

I'm sure the PI authorities can prevent a person from leaving the country.

according to her they told her as much

 

she claims there were other witnesses who also made fb posts and that only she is being squeezed for money.... and first thing they did was threaten her with stopping her visa process and asking how much i can afford....they found out by looking at her fb that i send balikbayan boxes and help her out.......i assume they think im rich or something

 

she is only one with american fiance out of whole group

Sigh.  I'm sorry to say this, but please set your BS meter to max and seriously consider if you are being scammed.  I'll let the USC regulars here lay out the details, but unless there's a typhoon or other natural disaster, asking for "rescue money" is such a tired old modus operandi of scammers.  And I don't mean the alleged extortionist kagawad.

It would be good to know how far Andrew is in the K-1 process and how many times he has visited his fiance. It would help to inform my response.

Another Filipina here, also recommending your BS meter should be set to high.

First of all, why is she making her whole life available for any FB viewer to see?  Secondly, are you actually considering paying this ransom?

@Crazy Cat the problem is that some people like to show off that they've got a foreigner boyfriend who sends them all sorts of gifts. Even a poor American is rich by PH standards.

 

But no, they can't stop her visa process because she reported something illegal. 

[andrewfromdenver 31]

been there 3 times once last  month.....and in june of 2019 and october 2019

 

and she is not asking for money.....she asked me if i can help with a lawyer not money

 

and yes the lawyer i hired for her case he already assured me they are empty threats

 

i guess i find out more in awhile she is supposed to go in front of higher kagawad
