Amalia Fuentes

Veteran actress Amalia Fuentes, along with her son Gerard Stevens and two other respondents — Edmark Ramirez and Diosdado Cabilbil have been charged with robbery in a Quezon City court for allegedlybreaking into an office and seizing documents, valuables and stock certificates in 2007.

The charges stemmed form a 2007 complaint filed by Rafael Anton and Editha Lopez-Bernardo of the First Mindanao Agriculture Corp., which holds office on P. Tuason Blvd. in Cubao. Anton — a majority stock holder, and Bernardo — the corporate secretary, alleged that Fuentes and her co-accused picked the lock of FMA office in November 2007 and carted away several items from the office.

Those items are personal files, manager checks, digital cameras, car registrations, titles, checkbooks and stock certificates all worth P243,721.44 reportedly belonging to Anton.

On the resolution of Paner, there was a probable cause to indict the respondents as they were positively identifiedby 2 witnesses.

However, Fuentes denied the charges, she said the case was a rehash of old charges she was not aware until the Inquirer contacted her for comments. She furtherly stated that the case is still part of continuing harassment from her estranged husband Joey Stevens.
