00:00 And if that's still the case, the PAG-COR has admitted that it has previously noticed items that could be used for scam during an initial inspection.
00:09 But it was not immediately notified to the authorities who discovered it.
00:13 That is the joint force that is being targeted by John Consulta and Jonathan Andal.
00:24 The people of the Forensic Digital Laboratory of the NBI and the Office of Cybercrime of the Department of Justice
00:31 examined the workstations inside the five-story so-called Cybercrime Hub here in Pasay City.
00:36 According to the DOJ, their operation is being run by individuals in separate rooms.
00:42 Aside from love scam, crypto scam, there are also those who want to run a task cam.
00:46 Someone will send you a message, like this post or share this post, you'll get maybe 100 pesos or 1,000 pesos.
00:52 So you'll get scammed. So to unlock the next stage.
00:56 Eventually, when you reach a stage where you'll earn a lot, they'll ask for a small investment to unlock it.
01:04 They'll say, "There's a problem with the processing, I'll pay a little."
01:08 And then they'll be able to get rid of their victim.
01:11 Aside from the workstation, you can also see here on the fifth floor, their studio that they use for their operation.
01:18 When they request a video call, their target will be here in this room.
01:24 They'll entertain this video call so that it'll be broadcasted at home or they'll be resting.
01:29 But when the client requests a video call in their workplace, their studio is the part that they use.
01:40 But did you know that all of this is not true?
01:43 These books are considered to be true at first glance.
01:48 But it turns out that all of this is just made of cardboard.
01:53 In this area, we can see the different types of clothes that they wear on their models to lure their target victims.
02:05 According to the Department of Justice and the NBI, this facility has been operating for more than a month
02:11 before it was discovered and used.
02:14 We will now discuss the case of Rivendell Global Support, Inc.
02:22 This raid, along with the discussion of the Senate about human trafficking,
02:30 according to the PAG-COR, they inspected the facility on July 26.
02:35 They noticed that it has tools that can be used for scams.
02:41 The case was over, and the PAG-COR did not send the report of their inspection to the law enforcers.
02:48 You noticed human trafficking badges of scam operations.
02:55 Why didn't you send it immediately?
02:58 I think it's a remiss on our part.
03:01 The facility was licensed by the Pogo operator and one of the victims of the scam was rescued from Myanmar.
03:11 We found a Filipino who was rescued in Myanmar.
03:16 He was working in Pogo in Pasay.
03:20 We have a list of Filipinos who were rescued in the region.
03:24 As of the Pogo raid last night, the Interagency Council Against Human Trafficking noticed
03:31 that the number of Pogo recruits is decreasing and increasing.
03:35 What can be done to avoid human trafficking?
03:39 They reduced the number of former workers.
03:45 They also reduced the number of badges of human trafficking.
03:50 For example, we no longer see rooms with dark rooms.
03:54 It was also found that this year alone, almost 4,000 victims of human trafficking were rescued.
04:01 We're now the human trafficking hub.
04:03 Not just the Pogo hub, but the human trafficking hub of the world.
04:07 Pogo is not bringing any benefit to our country.
04:11 It's bringing shame.
04:13 The Pogo is just taking back the debt of Pogo to our government and they're being asked to leave.
04:20 They're being asked to stop their operations here because there's nothing good to be done.
04:24 It's just bad.
04:25 But it looks like the Pogo will continue in the country.
04:29 According to PagCor, they already have a new framework to avoid using illegal activities.
04:36 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Jonathan Andal.
04:39 And I'm John Consulta. We're closed for 24 hours.
