A babysitter took nearly P350,000 worth of cash and jewelry from her employers.

The incident took place in Barangay Caingin, San Rafael, Bulacan.

CCTV footage showed the babysitter dragging a luggage before getting on a tricycle.

It was later discovered that she had already taken the cash and jewelry from the employers she had been working for over the past 4 months.

In a report by Ivan Mayrina of GMA 7 in '24 Oras Weekend,' the employers of the suspect were shocked that their gate was left open and their babysitter was already nowhere to be found.

Even the cabinet where they were hiding their cash and jewelries were left open.

The victims tried contacting the suspect, but she was no longer answering. According to the same report, the victims only found the suspect babysitter on social media.

They already filed a blotter and reported the incident to the police. They'd also try to coordinate with the local government where the suspect was believed to be residing.

In the Philippines, if an employee steals money and jewelry from their employer, the crime is generally classified as qualified theft under the Revised Penal Code.

Qualified theft happens when the offender is a domestic servant or if the theft is committed with grave abuse of confidence, which fits situations involving house helpers, babysitters, or employees trusted by their employers.

This crime carries a heavier penalty than simple theft because of the trust that was broken. The employee can face criminal charges and, if found guilty, may be sentenced to several years in prison depending on the value of what was stolen.

Aside from criminal liability, the court may also order the employee to return the stolen items or pay their value as civil liability.

In a previous report by KAMI, a family of three was mercilessly shot and killed inside their store in Barangay Mallorca, San Leonardo, Nueva Ecija. Caught by CCTV, three men entered their store, closed the roll up door, and shot the entire family to death. Before fleeing, one of the suspect even grabbed a bag and mobile phone from the suspects. In a report by Gary De Leon of TV 5's 'Frontline Pilipinas,' the family started getting threats after lending P1-M to one of the residents of their barangay; allegedly using the money for business.

In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public teacher in Las Piñas City was stabbed multiple times by her own husband. According to the report of EJ Gomez in 'Unang Balita,' the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school's faculty room. Police authorities said the school has a security guard, but being a familiar face in the school, the suspect managed to easily get in and out of the school. The suspect said he was there to talk to his wife and settle their misunderstanding, but unfortunately, it led to a big arguement.
