While he’s trying to clear his name in public after being implicated in the alleged corruption in Bureau of Customs (BOC), another problem came to the former BOC Commissioner Nicanor Faeldon.
Several days ago, he had informed his followers that his only house in Taytay, Rizal which he showed to the media before was in danger of being foreclosed after he failed to pay his loan.
According to the letter that he received from the National Home Mortgage Finance Corporation, his total outstanding balance of ₱7,148,799 had long been overdue.
“And now my one and only house will be foreclosed. Received this notice few days ago, what a timing!” Faeldon said in his post.
Many of his followers were saddened by the news, but a netizen identified as Vicky Parocha tried to help the Faeldon by offering her five story house in Malate, Manila as a temporary shelter for the BOC commissioner.
According to Parocha, Faeldon and his family can stay in her house until the former soldier solved all the problem.
She also said that they can conduct a fundraising to help Faeldon to gather funds to save his house from being foreclosed.
“Sir I have a house wala pong nakatira kundi Yung aking pamankin na nag babantay she also working in QC…it is 5-story u can stay there with your family. I can offer you free until you settle lahat NG problema nyo…while we can do Fund raising pra sa loan nyo po…. Don’t give up we are here to help you in anyways.. God will provide in everything you need have faith and trust the Lord… …God blessed you. PM me Po u can count on me…God bless..” Parocha said.
Parocha was praised by the netizens for her generosity to the former BOC Commissioner.
However, Faeldon said in his Facebook page that he and his family already decided to just foreclose his house in Taytay.
According to him, the amount of surcharges was much higher than the actual amount of his house in Taytay, so he just decided to let it go.
Faeldon also said that he’s going to temporarily live in his sister’s house while resolving the issue.
This is his whole statement:
Good day to all of you!
I read your messages and your kindness is immeasurable. I don’t know how to thank all of you one by one for your outpouring support and generosity beyond compare.
I do appreciate your offers to help save my house but my problem is so little compared to the problems of our country and the Filipino people.
After talking to my family, we have decided to just foreclose my house and I will just temporarily live in the house of my sister while resolving the issue. The amount of the surcharges is much much higher than the actual amount of my house and I really cannot afford it, and I believe it is inappropriate for us to allow a fund raising to help us keep my house.
Just to let you know why it accrued so much arrears because all of you deserved an explanation:
Since 2003 when I became a rebel because we opposed corruption in government, I was either in jail or a fugitive that’s why I didn’t have income and our expenditures dramatically increased. So my monthly amortization was irregular, sometimes in a year no payment at all.
I will continue to “Stand up for what is right even if it costs me my life”. (Sirach 4: 27-28) And I will never fail you and the Filipino people by succumbing to the pressures of standing up against powerful people who impose upon us to trample on our rights and more importantly, I will never fail you and the Filipino people by giving in to the temptations of corruption.
With my highest respect and admiration to all of you who are helping our country attain greater heights, kindly accept my best wishes and regards!

Faeldon was appointed by President Duterte as BOC Commissioner last year, but when he was repeatedly implicated at the Senate Investigation on 6.4-B shabu shipment from China, he decided to resign from his post.
Senator Ping Lacson also revealed that Faeldon allegedly received payola while being the BOC Commissioner.
To prove his innocence, Faeldon showed his old house in Taytay which according to him, was not being repaired for a long time.
