Yexel Sebastian reacts to the post that he and Mikee Agustin are “wanted” in the Philippines
YEXEL SEBASTIAN – The toy collector and former member of the Streetboys expressed his dismay over the spreading “fake news” claiming that he and his partner are wanted in the Philippines.
On Thursday evening, October 12, he shared a screenshot of a netizen’s Facebook post saying there was a reward for information about their whereabouts. “Ingat Po kayo sa magsyota na ‘to, mga [scammer] po sila sa Pilipinas. Nandito na po sila sa japan ngayon. Kakadating lang nila ngayong araw na ‘to sa Japan. Ang pangalan po nila na tunay [ay] Yexel Sebastian and Mikee Agustin,” according to the netizen’s post.
The post continued, “[Kung] sino po ang makakakita sa kanila dito sa Japan, pag bigay alam ninyo kaagad sa mga police dito sa Japan. Wanted na po sila sa Pilipinas. Magbibigay pabuya po sila Sir Raffy Tulfo at ang mga NBI or police ng Pilipinas ng 50 lapad kung sino po ang makapagturo sa dalawa kung nasaan sila banda nag stay dito sa Japan.”
The post also claimed that Yexel and Mikee had scammed P300 million, contrary to the earlier reported P200 million investment. The netizen encouraged others to share the post to make Filipinos in Japan aware that the two are wanted and should be reported to authorities.
Yexel responded, “FAKE NEWS po ito. ‘wag po kayo magpakalat ng bagay na hindi
totoo. Naka alis kami ng bansa dahil wala po kami ni isang kaso at yan naman po ay nasa batas.” He added: “Meron pong due process ang lahat. Salamat.”
Meanwhile, Yexel’s post received various comments from the public. It is worth noting that on Monday, October 9, the controversial toy collector and his family left for Japan, as confirmed by the Bureau of Immigration. According to the agency, there is no departure order or derogatory record for the two, so they were able to leave the country.
