Anthony Taberna investigates reports that the goods bought for victims of floods that hit Manila recently turn out to be spoiled and inedible.

This Monday (Aug 13) on ABS-CBN’s investigative program “XXX,” Anthony goes to the city of Taguig to find out how a rice supplier accredited by the National Food Authority sold rice that were not suitable for human consumption.

Pinky Webb revisits a group of minors called “jumper boys” who were caught on video by “XXX” boldly jumping on big trucks plying C2 Road in Tondo, Manila to steal whatever goods were on board before jumping off.

Meanwhile, Julius Babao exposes another modus operandi wherein swindlers victimize businessmen by paying them with fake checks in late afternoons when these can no longer be verified because banks have closed by then.

Julius learns from a victim in Cubao, who lost P500,000, that the swindlers would place orders in the morning and go back in the afternoon with a check payment that the victim would later discover as fake.  

Find out the full details on “XXX” this Monday (Aug 13) after “Bandila” on ABS-CBN or watch it earlier at DZMM TeleRadyo (SkyCable ch 26) the same night at 9:15 p.m.
