While her alleged 14 counts of violation the Securities Regulation Code has a corresponding bail amounting to almost two million pesos, syndicated estafa is a non-bailable offense, hence the actress had to remain in jail.

Recently, however, Neri’s lawyers were able to quash the syndicated estafa charge, allowing the actress to post bail for her temporary liberty.

In a report by GMA News, Sen. Robin’s bill, he said endorsers’ names are being dragged into different investment scams.

“Recent events reveal a growing concern for the welfare of endorsers whose names are dragged into various investment scams,” Sen. Robin said.

“Oftentimes, they are the first ones to be accused of crimes related thereto just because their names and faces were made prominent by companies who secured their services as endorsers,” the legislator added.

“This measure seeks to offer protection to endorsers by providing mandatory provisions into their engagement agreements that will clearly define not only their obligations but more importantly, their relationship with the company and their noninvolvement in any sale of investment contracts and securities if the latter is engaged in such business,” Sen. Robin concluded.
