Ortiz stated, “Yong clients niya high-profile, mga young professionals, mga students, and also celebrities. Take note, may dalawang celebrity tayo na nakunan natin sa text communication nila sa suspect, na nag-order ‘yong celebrity ng 200 pieces of Ecstasy.”
He added that the 2 celebrities are high profile, male and female, and are frequently seen on TV. Authorities were able to see the communications that Pasion had with these celebrities.
