BDO Unibank Inc. confirmed on Monday that the withdrawals made from Gleen Cañete’s account, which he claimed involved the unauthorized removal of P345,000, were legitimate.
In a statement, BDO clarified that the transactions Cañete mentioned in his now-deleted video were from a passbook account, which does not have associated online accounts or cards. “Please be informed that in the recent passbook incident as narrated by Mr. Gleen Cañete in his social media account, BDO has been able to account for the withdrawals that caused stress to Mr. Cañete,” the bank stated. “All withdrawals done by the account holder online were verified to be valid. Mr. Cañete advised BDO that they will resolve matters within their family.”
Cañete addressed the issue in a Facebook post on Friday, explaining his decision to delete the video after discussing the matter with the bank. “Good morning, sorry po, need ko po delated [sic] video naka usap na po namin. Okey na po lahat salamat po (Good morning, sorry, I needed to delete the video since we have already talked. All is well, thank you),” he said.
In another post, Cañete expressed gratitude for the support he received and noted the importance of handling the situation privately. “Sa lahat ng nakisimpatiya at nag-share, nanood ng video at (concerned) sa nangyari, malaking bagay po sa akin ang inyong pagdamay, pero sa ngayon hindi ko masabi sa inyo bawat (detalye) pero nakipag-ugnayan na ako sa bangko,” he explained.
“Pasensya na po kayong lahat kailangan ko muna unahin ang pamilya. Pasensya na kayo nakapag-video ako dahil sa sobrang sakit ng naramdaman ko, di ko mapigilang maglabas sa social media. Basta kung may mga problema kayo sa katulad sa akin, makipag-ugnayan kayo sa tamang ahensya at ‘wag kayo matakot dahil karapatan natin lahat ‘yan. Maraming maraming salamat sa inyong simpatiya,” he added.
