Requested from OWWA by S. Sobremesana at 08:13 PM on Jan 03, 2024.

Hi, I would like to alarm the gov offices and the public regarding this individual (Ruby) who is using the identity of her stepsister (Roeda) for her illegal activities.

She started using the identity of her step sister when she was blacklisted in UAE so she can come back as an OFW years ago. Now that she is back in PH, she is still using her stepsister’s identity in her bank accounts.

Please check any documents as it is under the same individual and be wary of any transactions made with her. Please take any appropriate action asap to prevent any illegal activities. Thanks.
