Honestly, I completely understand that people go through different circumstances in life. From the bottom of my heart, wala po akong galit o sama ng loob,” she wrote.</span></div><p>“Ang hiling ko lang po sana ay maibalik ang phone ko. Marami po kasi itong important memories, files and videos na for my content na hindi ko na mapapalitan,” she added. </p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/2013/8/3/fresh-scoops/myrtle-sarrosa-on-paul-salas-nakakatuwa-siyang-kas-16170" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: Myrtle Sarrosa admits getting first heartbreak in &#x27;Pinoy Big Brother&#x27;<br/></strong></a> </div><p>The Kapuso actress then assured the public that there are no indecent files in her phone as what netizens have been insinuating in the comment section. She maintained that it’s purely for her work and the memories that have been stored in it for years. </p><p>“I would never compromise my faith, values, and principles. Ang worry ko po talaga are my work files, cosplay footage, gameplay recordings, business contacts, important messages, and years of memories. Including ‘yung recent behind the scenes vid nung nakilala kong cast ng <em>One Piece</em>,” she asserted.</p><p>In her second post, Myrtle then shared that they found her phone’s location but was unable to obtain it. She claimed that the person who got it seemed to want more than the cash reward she posted. </p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BMc3UHp8K/"><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmyrt.gail%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0bPR5pe43mjKzmn4kz9ipsNFxMmGHUa2gKDoPYjA7gtwUqd9mn41NufDMx3y1Hc7rl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="717" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></a></div><div><br/></div><p>She recalled how they had to move swiftly on the same night of losing her phone. From Pasay City, the former <em>PBB</em> housemate tracked it down to Quezon City–– the stolen phone was moving from one place to another around the same area. </p><p>“But as we used the ring feature... the person turned the phone off. The location froze. The tracker stopped moving. The phone suddenly went offline,” she recalled.</p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/2020/12/8/fresh-scoops/myrtle-sarrosa-on-turning-26-i-never-really-like-190233" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: Myrtle Sarrosa on turning 26: ‘I never really liked celebrating my birthday’</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>She then revealed that she received a reply from the person who has her phone but she felt like they had a different goal in mind.</p><p>“I can&#x27;t share everything yet because we&#x27;re still hoping to continue communicating with the person who currently has the phone. But let&#x27;s just say... it doesn&#x27;t feel like the goal is simply returning the phone anymore. Right now, it feels like the goal is to get more money,” she admitted.</p><p>While the situation seems to be not going in her way, Myrtle is still hopeful that the person who has her phone will give it back as she is still open to giving the reward.</p><p>“Prayers na lang muna na maging mabuting tao siya,” she expressed. </p><p>Myrtle then expressed her gratitude towards everyone that helped her–– from the organizers of ToyCon up to the police officers. She maintained that it’s not their fault but rather the fault of the one who stole her phone.</p><p>“I want to remind everyone that the fault lies with the people stealing, not with those doing their best to assist,” she ended. </p>
