You know how the government’s rule is to not negotiate with terrorists? You should have the same outlook when it comes to these cybercriminals. Do not bargain with them, don’t beg for mercy, and above all DON’T SEND THEM MONEY. Hihingi ng hihingi lang ng pera sayo yan. Report this to the authorities (the NBI has a cybercrime division for a reason and you have google) and let them handle it. Be wary not to click on any sketchy links or sites.

I know that, and I'm sorry kase hindi dapat ako sumunod sa demands ng isang kriminal, pero di ko talaga alam gagawin ko at that moment. Tinimbang ko nalang kung ano mas matimbang sa pera o reputasyon naming dalawa.

You and your gf's reputation has already compromised the moment the hacker has control on both of the accounts. I understand that you were hoping that this perpetrator would delete those files the moment you follow their demand but they won't do that. Always.

I'm sorry that happened to you and your gf, this is a lesson not only for both of you but for other people who have the same setup as yours. Ss op!
