Credit Card Fraud: Citibank Corp., Diners Club International, American Express (P20 Million)

MARY ONG was involved in several multi-million peso credit card fraud, and used the names "Mary Gaba" and "Mary Ong Gaba. Several fraud cases were filed against her by Equitable Citibank Corp., Diners Club International, and American Express Card, where she reportedly defrauded $200,000.00 US dollars.

The other aliases she used were "Peter Gaba", "Johnny Gaba', and "Dolores Ong".

She also cheated several of her business associates, namely, Ben and Bileng Lim, casino financiers Robert and Lily Chan, and their nephew, Harry Chan. They filed criminal cases against MARY ONG and some of her relatives at Caloocan City, Manila City, Paranaque City, and Mandaluyong City. Even her own sisters-in-law, Evangeline Ong and Blessilda Ong, filed Estafa cases against her. Consequently, all members of MARY ONG's family now have standing criminal arrest warrants issued against them.

On one incident, MARY ONG "tipped-off" a police officer named P/SSupt. Garbo on Bileng LIm's alleged illegal trafficking of assorted gold jewelries at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. During her arrest, Bileng sustained a gunshot wound in the head but the operatives reported that the fatal shooting was an accident.

The "tip-off" by MARY ONG was meant to blackmail Ben Lim into withdrawing his criminal complaint against her.

MARY ONG is a pathological liar and is involved in various criminal activities. She also has a long list of criminal cases resulting from multi-million Estafa and Credit Fraud complaints filed against her. At the moment, she is out on bail for CC# 186454 -186457 for Violation of BP 22 filed against her by Robert and Lily Chan and another casino financier.

Her family is likewise involved in a string of Estafa cases. In fact her mother, Dolores Ong, has five warrants of arrest, while her two brothers, Johnny Ong and Peter Ong, have three criminal cases each.

Drug Trafficking

Mary Ong was in constant contact with Chong Yuk Sui, and @ AH-TAU, a drug lord based in Macau.

Using her police cover to enhance her contacts with the Triads for protection, she was soon discovered to be making a living from police tips against drug personalities and vice versa.

May 1998: Mary Ong and her mother, DOLORES ONG, were arrested for drug trafficking by a NBI team, led by Martin Soriano, in an entrapment operation. P2 Million worth of shabu was found in their possession. She claimed that the owners of the shabu were P/SUPT CAMPOS and P/DIR ACOP but later recanted this.

MARY ONG is a member of the Chinese Triad operating both in Hong Kong and in the country. Her alleged role as police "informant" is merely part of her syndicate's modus operandi of modified "Estafa" - or to avoid paying for the drug shipments sent to her by Chinese drug lords by having them arrested while she runs away with the illegal drugs. MARY ONG and her cohorts also use this "double-cross" scheme, to rid their Illegal Gambling and Illegal Drug Trafficking activities of so-called "bad accounts". It was disclosed that those who didn't remit proceeds from their illegal activities were "tipped-off" by MARY ONG to police authorities to be arrested.

MARY ONG's syndicate is said to be involved in the disappearance of persons in the past, some of whom were witnesses in drug trafficking cases filed against her. This leads some people to suspect that witnesses on criminal cases against ONG may have been deliberately abducted in order to earn her a court dismissal or a favorable verdict through the absence of incriminating testimony.

Sometime in September 1992, MARY ONG was arrested for trafficking around 30 kilograms of Shabu through air parcel delivery. The criminal case filed against her at Pasay City was dismissed after one of the prosecution's witnesses, SPO1 Elmer Pueda, and his lawyer were killed at the Magallanes Shopping Center by P/SSupt Reynaldo Berroya. In fact, a criminal case against former PACC Task Force Lawin Commander P/SSupt. Berroya and his men was filed in court. The case had already been resolved.

In another incident, sometime on 24 December 1993, a certain Mr. "Ah-Lam," accompanied by his associate, Mr. Chong Yuk Sui, were reported to have had a meeting with MARY ONG regarding her association with Alfredo Tiongco, a known drug lord, whose drug shipment was arrested by police authorities. Soon after the supposed meeting with MARY ONG, Chong Yuk Sui reported that his companion, "Ah Lam," was missing.

Intelligence information reveal that MARY ONG was directly involved in the disappearance of Mr. "Ah-Lam," in connivance with her brothers, Peter Ong and Johnny Ong, and MARY ONG's lover, Mr. Alfred Lim, a ship broker based in Cebu. Consequently, in order to avoid possible action from other crime syndicates, MARY ONG and Alfred Lim sought protection with police authorities as "police informants." This move also opened an opportunity for the couple to take further action against their other Triad rivals.

MARY ONG established drug trafficking links with notorious Triad organizations based in Hong Kong and Macau, and was able to set-up her local drug network as well. Some of her known illegal drug distributors were Necita Salahuddin alias "Chit Salahuddin", and Talib Manggona. Both are big-time Muslim shabu suppliers based in Zamboanga City and they operate in the Borneo and Sabah, Malaysia areas.

MARY ONG was believed to be a supplier of Erlinda Figueroa, common-law-wife of the Don Pepe Oyson, a known druglord, who got killed while in police custody. In 1994, she provided a lawyer for drug lord Mr. Wang Hsiu Naw alias "Raymond Wang, " a big-time Chinese drug lord in Manila. The lawyer, Atty. Nograles, works for her in all her criminal cases. She took over Wang's operation in the guise of being a Hong Kong Police "informant" with immunity from prosecution in Hong Kong.

MARY ONG is also said to be in constant contact with Alfred Lim, a Cebuano drug lord based in Alabang, Mr. Chong Yuk Sui a.k.a. Ah-Sui, in Hong Kong, and Mr. Li Wen Feng a.k.a. Ah Tau, who is based in Macau. Using her police cover to enhance her contacts with the Triads for protection - she was soon discovered to be making a living from police tips against drug personalities and vice versa. In late 1999, she was in contact with Peter Lim (and his henchman, a certain "BERNARD" in Cebu), a notorious drug lord based in Cebu City, who is closely identified with Gen. Lastimoso. MARY ONG refused to debrief police authorities regarding the arrangements she made with Peter LIm.

Sometime in June 1998, NBI agents led by Martin Soriano arrested MARY ONG and her mother, Dolores Ong, for trafficking two kilos of shabu during an entrapment operation in Quezon City. P/Dir. Acop eventually dropped MARY ONG's contract as a result of her covert and scheming drug trafficking activities, and her use of the agent's contract in her illegal activities.

Kidnap-for-Ransom / Murder

February 1999: Mary Ong was nvolved in kidnap-for-ransom/ murder of Chinese drug lord CHONG HIU MING. Alleged victim's brother issued a Sworn Statement at the NBI saying MARY ONG initiated contact and negotiated for ransom payment P3 Million.

April 1999: Mary Ong was involved in the kidnap-for-ransom/ murder of Chinese drug lord, WONG KAM CHONG. The victim's wife issued a Sworn Statement at the NBI saying MARY ONG negotiated for ransom payment of P10 Million.

January 2000: Mary Ong was involved in the kidnap-for-ransom of Chinese drug lord ZENG JIA XUAN. She accused SEN. LACSON of kidnapping ZENG et al, while she clearly stated in her NBI Sworn Statement that ZENG was kidnapped by another drug lord SHANGHAI CHUA with ransom demand of $60 Million HKD. Ironically, PAOCTF rescued the kidnap victims in Baguio.

One of the strongest pieces of document supporting the angle of a triad war is MARY ONG's most recent sworn statement (2nd version) submitted before the DOJ. The document probably reveals a clear illustration of MARY ONG's criminal group, motive, detailed accounts of circumstances, contact numbers and bank accounts, and modus operandi.


Shanghai Chua

IT SEEMS THAT KIDNAP-FOR-RANSOM IS A PENALTY CHARGED BY SHANGHAI CHUA FOR ROGUE ACCOUNTS IN HIS DRUG TRADE, WITH MARY ONG AS THE GROUP'S LEAD NEGOTIATOR.

After abducting their victims, the group's modus operandi starts with contacting their victims' relatives, and informing them that police or military personnel kidnapped the drug-lord victim. The latter's purpose is to deter them (victim's relatives) from seeking assistance from the police. Once the group has the relatives convinced of their cover story, MARY ONG gives them a contact number, a bank account, and an initial ransom demand.

MARY ONG grew anxious after she was already identified as a prime suspect in the kidnap-for-ransom and murder of local Chinese Triad members (NBI SS, MARY ONG, Q/A No. 16). Her fears were further aggravated after the neutralization of her big boss Shanghai Chua in Quezon City last July 8, 2000 by the police. (NBI SS, MARY ONG, QIA No. 20).

MARY ONG's motives for her alleged expose cuts like a double-bladed knife. On one side, in the spirit of self-preservation, she conjured an intricate story of police conspiracy in her crime group's kidnapping activities to avoid being targeted by rival Chinese Triad hitmen. The other side enables her to earn money from certain political corners by launching smear campaign against certain personalities.
