Philippine National Police Anti-Cybercrime Group spokesperson, Police Lt. Wallen Mae Arancillo, identified the suspect only as “Jaja.”
She was apprehended during an entrapment operation conducted at her residence on Wednesday, March 12.
The operation was launched after the Regional Anti-Cyber Crime Unit – Bangsamoro Autonomous Region (RACU-BAR) discovered her Facebook posts falsely claiming to be a dentist.

She had been advertising various dental services, including braces installation, for just P1,000.
Speaking at Camp Crame in Quezon City, Arancillo explained that the amount covered materials, labor, and cleaning.
She also revealed that “Jaja” arranged client appointments online and instructed them to meet at her home, where the procedures were performed.
To verify the suspect’s credentials, RACU-BAR coordinated with the Philippine Dental Association, which confirmed that she was not a licensed dentist.
“Mismong cyber cop natin ang nakipag-engage sa suspect. Sinundo siya sa labas ng lugar nila, dinala sa bahay nila at doon ginawa ang cleaning,” Arancillo stated.
Authorities arrested “Jaja” just as she was about to install braces on the undercover officer.
During the raid, police confiscated dental tools and materials that were found to be substandard.
“Ini-sterilize niya lang itong mga gamit sa mainit na tubig na hindi talaga dapat gawin ng isang dentist,” Arancillo noted, emphasizing that proper sterilization requires specialized equipment.
Police also consulted professional dentists, who confirmed that dental procedures must be conducted in licensed clinics under strict hygiene conditions.
“Nung isinagawa yung entrapment operation, nakita natin na doon lang ginagawa sa labas ng bahay nila, sa gilid ng ilog and makikita natin yung paligid ay hindi malinis,” Arancillo added.

News, photos or videos that arouse the interest of netizens would often go viral on social media, due to the attention netizens give them. These viral posts appeal to the emotions of netizens, and in rare cases, such could also happen to ordinary people, making them very relatable to just about simply everyone.
In news abroad, a four-year-old boy in Wisconsin, USA, got some police officers scrambling after getting a 911 dispatch call. The boy apparently called 911 to report the supposed “bad behavior” of his mom. This prompted Village of Mount Pleasant police officers to pay a visit to the kid’s home. It turned out that the “bad behavior” he reported was about something he thought his mother failed to give him.
Meanwhile, in news back home, Sen. Imee Marcos released an official statement concerning the arrest of former president Rodrigo Duterte. She is calling for a probe on the arrest and would want to establish whether due process was followed in his arrest. The senator also said that she is inviting key officials and agencies including officials from the PNP, OTS-DOTr and a lot more. The senator said that such critical concerns regarding the country's jurisdiction and the policies concerning law enforcement agencies must be addressed.
