Sarrosa said her family was initially able to trace the phone’s movement from Pasay City to Quezon City using tracking features, passing through Commonwealth, Fairview, and Mindanao Avenue. At one point, she said someone briefly answered a call from the device before cutting it off.
The situation took a turn when the phone stopped transmitting its location. “The tracker stopped moving. The phone suddenly went offline,” Sarrosa said, marking the point where recovery efforts stalled.
She also said communication with the person currently holding the device appears to have shifted away from a simple return arrangement. “It doesn’t feel like the goal is simply returning the phone anymore,” she said. “Right now, it feels like the goal is to get more money.”
Online speculation about the contents of the phone has also circulated, but Sarrosa firmly dismissed claims that it contains sensitive or scandalous material. “My faith, values, and principles would never be compromised,” she said, stressing that the device only holds personal files, work materials, and creative archives.
Despite the developments, Sarrosa continues to appeal for the phone’s return and remains open to honoring the original ₱30,000 reward. “Ang hiling ko lang po sana ay maibalik ang phone ko,” she earlier said in her appeal, noting the device contains irreplaceable memories and professional content.
She also thanked ToyCon organizers, security personnel, and authorities who assisted during the initial search efforts.
As of the latest update, the phone has not been recovered, and its current location remains unknown. (Ian Ureta)
