Actress Rufa Mae Quinto has denied any involvement in fraudulent activities after a warrant of arrest was issued against her. The warrant is related to 14 counts of violation of the Securities Regulation Code in connection with her endorsement of Dermacare.
MANILA, Philippines — Actress Rufa Mae Quinto on Tuesday vehemently denied 'any connection to any fraudulent activity.'She released the statement a day after her counsel's confirmation that she has a standing warrant of arrest .
On Monday, Quinto's lawyer Mary Louise Reyes confirmed that the comedienne is facing 14 counts of violation of Section 8 of the Securities Regulation Code, which states that securities shall not be sold or offered for sale or distribution within the Philippines, without a registration statement duly filed with and approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission .The case is related to Dermacare, where Quinto was a former endorser. The same skincare company is involved in the earlier arrest of Neri Naig, who was accused of the same violation on top of syndicated estafa complaints, the reason for the latter's current detention.'Let me state this unequivocally: I have no connection whatsoever to any fraudulent activity and I categorically deny these baseless accusations. If anything, I am also a victim and I am determined to seek justice,' Quinto said.'As a public figure, I have always demonstrated professionalism, transparency, and respect for the people and brands I work with. It is dejecting to see my name being dragged through the mud, but I remain steadfast and confident that the truth will soon prevail.'The comedienne vowed to cooperate fully with the authorities and face this issue through the proper legal forum.'I will fight for my name and reputation. To those who have extended their love and support, I am grateful. Let us allow justice to take its course, and I humbly ask for your patience and understanding as the truth unfolds.'In an interview with GMA's '24 Oras' news telecast on Monday night, Quinto's lawyer Reyes said that the actress will voluntarily surrender and post bail.
