Credit card spending spree sends Pinoy to District Court

16 April 2026

 

Tuen Mun Court

A Filipino who found an American Express credit card may have thought little of it initially, but when he used the card to make purchases totaling $7,974 the next day, he fell into serious trouble with the law.

Serious enough for the Tuen Mun Magistrates Court to elevate his case of two counts of theft, contrary to section 9 of the Theft Ordinance, to the District Court.

Acting Principal Magistrate Daniel Tang remanded repairman Mark Dave Ballesteros, 34 years old, to jail after adjourning the case to May 7 at District Court.

A police complaint accused Ballesteros of stealing the credit card belonging to Tsui Wing-sze on Oct. 3 last year.

The next day, he allegedly went on a shopping spree, spending $7,974 using the credit card, incurring debt for Tsui to American Express International, Inc.
