GENERAL SANTOS CITY, Philippines — Several persons who claimed to be victims of an alleged investment scam by Kapa Community Ministry International Inc. (KAPA) are planning to file charges against its officials. The victims showed to The STAR their investment or “donation” documents, which were signed by KAPA founder Joel Apolinario. They said they are considering suing KAPA officials for syndicated estafa, but are also open to negotiations for the return of their money. On Facebook, KAPA officials appealed to their members for calm even as they gave assurance that they are taking legal action against those who raided and padlocked their offices. Malacañang had earlier appealed to KAPA members to go to court if they want their organization to continue its operations.
