Money: continuation
Ms. Sweetie arrived very late. Our advisor was attending hearing so Ariel decided to bring Ms. Sweetie at my dad's office to meet me. I called up the PAO, I asked miss. jenny a(the secretary)a favor to please call me after our advisor's hearing. While waiting for jenny's call, I asked Ms. Sweetie bout the sheriff. How come she met the sheriff and why did the sheriff ask her the amount of P15T. Ms. Sweetie said she met the sheriff during the time she kept on visiting the NLRC (national labor relation commission) office, very desperate and felt abandoned. She asked the sheriff to help her. Here comes the sheriff took advantage of her weakness, convince her that he can get the money at no time if she will give her P15T. As I expected she agreed.
That time she did not know that we already knew about her check to be released later. Its just that we decided not to inform her unless the check is ready. We made a mistake in good faith. Maybe if we told her bout the check the attempt of extortion will not happened. The reason we did not inform her because Ms. Sweetie like I said before is sooo makulit. She will not listen to people who can really help her instead she is more interested to listen the opinion of other people. She is the type of girl na madaling maloko.
Our conversation was interrupted when miss jeni called and so we went down and go straight at PAO's office. Our lawyer advisor asked for the relief we made, we need his signature (of course he has a license). Again our advisor advice Ms. Sweetie not to give any amount of money to the sheriff. We gave him our Motion for ex-parte urgent to release the check. He signed the motion then we left then back at NLRC office.
When we reach the NLRC, I asked Ms. Sweetie bout the sheriff. She said he is not in there. We file our motion. We thought we can get the check within that day but the in-charge told us we need to have the order for release but the officer (the arbitrator) is not in his office. At last, it is done. Ariel and I smiled at each other. We asked if do we need to comply additional requirements the in-charge said no ok na to all we need is to wait for the order of release.
I told Ms. Sweetie that she can claim her check next week alone without us (ariel and I). Shes afraid to go back alone. She asked that we will accompany her. She was afraid to face the sheriff. We were wondering the absence of the sheriff. Maybe he smells our presence and he we knew his evil plan.
Hahay I told Ariel. Why some officials need "padulas" before helping those in need. The irreparable loss of a person are usually taken advantage by some officials. Not only government officials even private individuals. I know we need money. We need other "diskarte" for extra income for our family but I think we can do it in good faith.
