Even their local bank manager, known to be close to some suspects and is very influential, connived and opened an illegal/bogus account named to Ernest’s company NuStaples Co. Ltd. where more than a million of the company’s legitimate funds were deposited & withdrawn by the same suspects. Same bank manager committed so many acts of fraud against the company like making illegal withdrawals from the company’s other accounts.

Ernest Barraquias Jr, is the President and majority owner of NuStaples Co. Ltd., one of the Philippines fastest growing small companies distributing mostly imported paper products nationwide. It also has government contracts. More witnesses expressed desire to testify but are still very scared for their lives.
