Lani Misalucha was in disbelief with broadcast journalist Raffy Tulfo going out of his way to lend her a helping hand after she was scammed by a booking agent.

It was Lani who reached out to Raffy, explaining how the culprit took money she has earned from social media applications Lyka and Bigo.

Lani identified the scammer as Maynard Oliver Vergara, her social media administrator.

The 51-year-old singer said the funds could have helped her greatly particularly with her and her husband still suffering from the effects of bacterial meningitis.

Raffy told her, “Tutal idedemanda niyo naman po ito, di po kayo papa-areglo dito. Kung hindi niyo po masamain, kasi alam ko pambili nin’yo sana ng gamot ‘yun, kung hindi nin’yo po sana mamasamain, okay lang ba sa inyo palitan ko na lang po ‘yang nawala sa inyo? Ako na lang po ang bahala.”

He added, “I’m serious. Kasi po nabanggit niyo po na pampagamot niyo sana ‘yun P105,000. Magbibigay na lang po ako ng P105,000 today, papadala ko sa account niyo kasi pampagamot niyo po ‘yun, kung ‘di niyo po sana mamasamain.”

Seemingly shocked, Lani replied, “Naku po, nahihiya po ako.”

Raffy assured he would have done the same for others.
“Wala po akong pinipili. Ginagawa ko po ‘to. Kaya lang sa inyo nagpaalam muna ako. Kung ‘di niyo po mamasamain, e tutulong din po ako sa inyo. Kasi nabanggit niyo po ‘yung pagpapagamot. Malaking bagay po ‘yun. Lahat tayo in one point in time magkakasakit o nagkasakit so kailangan din natin ng tulong.”

Lani gave in, saying, “Maraming, maraming salamat po. Kung ‘yun po ang ano I would gladly accept it.” (S. Bernardino, mb.com.ph)
