21 Year Old Mom Accused of Theft


"Bibili lang pu ako nd diaper at gatas."

This was the statement of Ma. Kristina Ganggay after being brought to the DasmariƱas Police Station (DPS) because of theft, August 17.

Ganggay was not the one caught unplugging the N3650I from the charger according to the complainant Juliet Dela Cruz, owner of the mini grocery store in Lot 2 Blk 35 South Meridian Homes DasmariƱas, Cavite. Two boys, who were not identified by the suspect, were the ones who stole the phone. However, the said boys escaped together with a girl named Regine and left Ganggay caught by the Barangay Tanods.

According to Luzviminda Padua, Dela Cruz' helper, the unidentified boys first asked for the price of a particular brandy then sat on the customers' chair near the counter and unplugged the phone from its charger. Ganggay, however, asked for a diaper and a milk.

Ganggay admitted that she was with the other suspects, but did not mention the name of the two boys. She said that she did not know the names of the two because Regine was her only friend in that group.

However, Dela Cruz said that she will pursue the case to serve as a lesson to Ganggay.

If proven guilty, Ganggay will be imprisoned from one mont to 14 years and eight months in jail or will bail for P6000 to P12000.

Other suspect are being searched by the DPS.

Ganggay is 21 years old and has two kids.
