Para sa mga ‘di natuloy na World Youth Day delegates at sa mga kaibigang concerned:
Pumunta kami sa opisina ng Alab ng Kabataang Pilipino (AKAP) noong Huwebes at nag-demand ng refund. Out of $400 na naibayad namin, ang $50 ay sa airline reservation at di na mare-refund. Ang $125 ay para sa WYD registration. Most likely, kalahati lang nito ang mare-refund, as per info sa WYD website. Pero tingin ko buo, dahil di naman kami umatras kundi na-deny ng visa. Binigyan kami ng AKAP contact number ng tao na papag-follow-up-an ng refund for that.
Pero yung $225, di pa nila ma-explain kasi wala pa raw yung receipts, etc. I was asking for a breakdown ng kung saan mapupunta yung $225, pero ayaw magbigay ni Tita Charie Zarate, nanay ng leader ng AKAP. Di pa rin daw niya alam dahil nga wala pa raw ang mga resibo. Ayaw kong maniwala na puwede ang ganoong excuse. Bakit ka maniningil ng isang amount kung di ka sigurado kung saan ito pupunta o kung paano ito gagastusin? Sabi ko since di nila ma-explain ang $225, dapat ibalik na nila dahil kailangan namin ng pera. Maghintay raw kami ng one month, pero I insisted na makuha ‘yun. After a long argument, nagkompromiso kami na ibalik muna ang kalahati ng pera, so we got $175, at ang usapan, after ma-account ang lahat-lahat, kung sino ang
may kulang, magdadagdag na lang.
May mga ‘di magagandang bali-balita na hindi ikatutuwa ng mga delegate. Pero since hindi ko personal na na-confirm ang mga ito, hindi ko na lang muna ipo-post.

I am currently looking for any of their addresses, contact numbers… I still have Jovi Zarate’s stored in my phone, but the last time he got in touch with me was when he invited me to another religious “trip” whatsoever… I was so busy with alot of things that i really couldn’t follow-up with my refund, or if there ever was, so when I found the time to call him up, there’s no answer… and upto now, the number can’t be reached… pls, if any of u would get intouch with any of them from their office, i’d appreciate it if u let me know…
I am one of the Davao 11 delegates of the WYD for Toronto Canada in July 2002. I am also very interested to know what has happened to the case of the applicants for Germany. Was there a case filed against the Zarate.? For us here in Davao City, we filed a case of stafa against the Zarates. And up to now for almost 5 years, the case is still on-going. We hope and pray that justice prevails for all of us victims of the Zarates. They live in luxurious life through blood money.
We shared the same agony. And there must be an end to this. The two should be punished in accordance with the law.
my brother is also delegate of WYD sa akap, sana nga totoo mga sinsabi nila na ibabalik nila in full ung 1660 us dollars…i called yesterday october 18, may nakusap ako dun sabi niya ung gulf air and china airlines daw mayupdate na di ko lang alam anong klaseng update un, im asking him wala siya masagot…im asking kung pwd makausap si jovie wala raw nasa bahay nila…HUH!!! ang hirap talaga ng situation ng mga delegates, di alam kung sinong tamang person ang kakausapin…gusto ko rin kasi itanong about ung kaso against sa German Embasssy, kasi parang biglang tumahimik ang kaso…di naman kaya binayaran na sila….di natin alam di ba
were sharing both sentiments on what happen….we were deceived and brainwashed…worst we paid the $1660 full! these people used us! took advantage of the situation…they told us in the retreat in case denied we will get the refund in full! but look what happen after getting the money these people are no where to reach! well i believe in karma! what happened to AKAP delegates should be exposed to the media! akap delegates should be brave enough to confront AKAP officers…they took the risks not us in buying the tickets in our behalf…
