09 Entrapment by the British TV Crew

24 girls were very attractive and appeared to be aged mid to late twenty.

That morning, I left to spend a few days at Baloy Beach, Olongapo City to arrange Beach excursions for future holiday clients.

On May 4th, I sent a fax to the Hotel inviting my clients to Baloy Beach. I said they were welcome to bring their girlfriends or if they wished, they could enjoy the Baloy girls who were extra special. (My reference to girls did NOT mean children as they later implied and I still have the original fax transmission paper). 09 Entrapment by the British TV Crew

On May 7th, my clients arrived at the Beach with T.V. crew- They told me that they wanted to know why I had invited them to have sex with children. They then informed me who they really were and accused me of all kinds of untruths. They began to film young children playing on the Beach and accused me of being their pimp. I told them that these children were here on vacation with their family, most of who were business people from Manila. After about five minutes of filming our heated confrontation, I called the Beach security that chased the crew off the Beach because it was private property.

That evening I had a meeting with the owner of the Beach, Carlito Baloy. I told him the whole story and he too was very shocked and upset and promised to report the incident, as this was not the first time his Beach had been under attack by people trying to ruin his good reputation.

The next day I returned to my Hotel in Angeles City and relayed the whole incident to the owner- He too was very shocked, as he knew I was not engaged in child prostitution in any shape or form. He told me that my bogus clients had checked out, but confirmed that the Hotel records showed they each had over-night girl guests staying in their rooms on May 2nd.

The next day May 9th, I decided to put the incident behind and get on my main objective of producing a promotional video titled: “The Nicer Side of the Philippines” which would later be used in England to attract future clients.

During the following two weeks, I contracted the services of VIDEOSPACE of Angeles City Tel. 26286 to make the promotional video.

I also met Ms. Sol Medina the head of the Tourist Board Angeles City Tel. 6020507. She was delighted with what I was doing and even supplied a member of staff to assist in the filming of the venues which were filmed are listed: Sakaba Karaoke, Wanjai Nightclub, Karaoke Omae, Lady Boxing Arena, together with general footage of Fields Avenue.

To be included in this film was the Beach Party at Baloy, which for reasons yet to be revealed, did not take place. However the following preparations

were made. I contracted an artist at the Tattoo shop at the beginning of Fields Avenue to make a poster titled: “Your Chance To Be A Movie Star” which featured a crazy cartoon2 of the excursion and Beach Party. It also stated that tickets could be obtained from the travel desk at the Vistillano Hotel, Balibago, and Angeles City. Date of excursion being June 8th 1995. Posters that were Xerox copies of the master were placed all over town including the Tourist Board and Angeles City FM 99.1 radio station. (I still have the original poster).

I also visited the Licensing Inspector at City Hall with a view to getting a permit to make the video, Tel. 602-3310. He informed me that no permit was needed as I had engaged the services of VIDEOSPACE.

I also contracted the Travel desk at the Vistillano Hotel to handle the bookings. It was not my intention to make a profit from the excursion, as my main objective was just to make the Promotional Video. Ongoing excursions would be handled completely by the Travel Desk at the Hotel until I obtained a work permit.

I also contracted Angeles City FM 99.1 Radio Station Tel. 602-2477 where Mr. Rody, the marketing manager instructed Ms. Malum and Mr. Perry to make an audio cassette to promote on air this exciting excursion and Beach Party. This was done and for several days I was given prime airtime.

After about ten days hard work, everything was in place and I asked the Radio Station to do live coverage together with requesting a representative from the tourist board to oversee all operations.

All of a sudden, my name was in all newspaper headlines as well as being on the T.V. News. All was accusing me of promoting child prostitution. Together with a Red alert for my arrest. Many of my friends told me to keep a low profile or even leave the country, as they believed that some triggerhappy Policeman might shoot me. One Hotel owner even gave his security guard instructions to shoot me if he saw me anywhere near his Orchid Inn Hotel in Balibago.

All this scared the living daylights out of me, so I fled to Baloy Beach seeking advice from Carlito Baloy.

It was decided that I should give myself up to the NBI, so I could explain the whole story. But before I had the chance to do this an NBI team came to the Beach and arrested me. They took me to Manila where I was detained for three weeks while they did their own investigation. Their report was put into writing as a Disposition Form, which I have a copy of. Their report clearly stated that they could find no grounds to Charge me. But Fr. Shay 2 Appendix 02: “A Chance of a Life Time”
