Virgie buys vegetables from Balintawak starting at 3 am and by 5 am she’s distributing these to market vendors in Angono and Binangonan. She said her profit is small but she makes about P5,000 a day. She said out of the P5,000 she still has to pay for her kargador and driver, gasoline, meals. Still, she can easily save at least two thousand pesos a day with her earnings. Plus she has her own sari-sari store, and her husband delivers vegetables to the neighborhood, every morning. They also have a van which they rent out regularly to Korean tourists.
With her earnings, one would think that she can live decently. No. She lives, but not decently. She has a modus operandi. She borrows money to unsuspecting and compassionate persons, making them believe that she’s a good person and a responsible businesswoman. That her only goal is to grow her business.
As soon as she’s able to dupe people in lending her some money for capital, which ranged from P10,000 to P50,000 she hies off to her favorite place, the Thunderbird Resorts and Casinos situated at the boundary of Antipolo, Angono and Binangonan, Rizal.
Virginia totally forgets the people she borrowed money from and just spends the nights away at the casino, gambling her day’s earnings and more. She has probably mastered this art of borrowing and running that’s why it doesn’t even bother her that her friends and townmates are looking for her. She thinks she would forever get away with her modus.
One of these days, she’ll meet her match. Someone who will not let her get away with her modus operandi. Someone who is very compassionate and willing to help her grow her vegetable business but someone who is not willing to tolerate her misdeeds. She has to be stopped or else she would keep on doing this modus to kind people.
