MANILA -- Rufa Mae Quinto’s camp asserted that the actress and comedienne is a victim of false accusations, following her voluntary surrender to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) on Wednesday.Atty. Mary Louise Reyes, Quinto&#x27;s legal counsel, disclosed that the skincare company in question still owes her payment for endorsing their products.“My client is a victim kasi nga siya rin po mismo, hindi siya nabayaran pa which is aasikasuhin ko rin after this case. Focus muna kami, one step at a time,” Reyes said.<div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/1/8/-emb-rufa-mae-quinto-surrenders-upon-return-to-ph-to-face-investment-scam-allegations-1410">Rufa Mae Quinto surrenders to NBI over investment scam allegations</a></div>Quinto was charged with 14 counts of violation of Section 8 of the Securities Regulation Code in relation to the cases filed by investors against skin care company Dermacare.Based on the report, all cases are bailable at ₱126,000 each, amounting to a total of ₱1.7 million.Earlier, Quinto and her lawyers went to Pasay Regional Trial Court branch 111 to process the said bail.“Unfortunately kasi nasaraduhan na kami. So first thing tomorrow morning, matatapos namin &#x27;yan,” Reyes said.Quinto was brought back to the NBI this afternoon for a medical check-up after experiencing a headache.“Sumama ‘yung pakiramdam niya. This morning, panay siya suka. Siguro I don’t know if it’s jet lag, or syempre kahit alam mong inosente ka, pagdadaanan mo ‘yung ganitong sitwasyon,” Reyes said.The arraignment and pre-trial hearing for the very urgent motion for reinvestigation filed by their camp is set for Thursday, January 9.
