03:18This is a big hole in BRP Teresa Magbanwa.
03:21The China Coast Guard Vessel 5205 was hit three times.
03:27The Philippine Coast Guard caught other ships that were hijacked.
03:32There is a damage on the bridge wing and also on the freeboard of the 9701.
03:39There is this hole that also was a result of a direct ramming conducted by the China Coast Guard and also on this part.
03:49BRP Teresa Magbanwa is alone in the Escoda Shoal.
03:53Yesterday afternoon, three ships of the China Coast Guard, five Chinese militia vessels, and two ships of the People's Liberation Army Navy were surrounded.
04:02Until it was hit by the China Coast Guard Vessel 5205, it turned its back on our ship.
04:13The Chinese Coast Guard carried out dangerous maneuvers despite of being unprovoked.
04:24No one was injured on the ships that were still surrounded.
04:28Based on a post by the ex-maritime security expert, Ray Powell,
04:32more than 15 Chinese vessels were surrounded by BRP Teresa Magbanwa past 8 a.m.
04:40Yesterday afternoon, America, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and the U.K. condemned China for 5 times in the Philippine Operation within our Exclusive Economic Zone this August.
04:52The China Coast Guard, PCG, blames them.
04:55They even released their own video to show that our ships were deliberately surrounded.
05:01The Philippines was again warned by China that our ships should be removed because their sovereignty is being violated.
05:09It's really infuriating when someone says that we were surrounded.
05:15How crazy that argument is.
05:19It's only been a minute, four minutes, that we were surrounded again.
05:24For people who are arguing, I think it's very frustrating, especially when we see on social media that we have a group of Filipinos,
05:36or worse yet, the former part of the government.
05:41Last April, BRP Teresa Magbanwa was at the Escoda show, which was broadcasted in the middle of the Umanoy reclamation activities in China.

05:57They say that they are not destroying the shipwrecks there.
06:00They say that the activities of the Philippines are destroying the surroundings there.
06:06We are still trying to get the statement of the PCG here, but the PCG will not leave BRP Teresa Magbanwa.
06:14We will still hold the line and we will maintain our presence in Escoda show.
06:19For GMA Integrated News, Vaughn Aquino, Katutok, 24 Hours.
06:23The Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission of Paok is now finding out who is behind the pogohab that the authorities have raised in Lapulapu City, Cebu.
06:33According to more than 100 sources, a Filipino minor was also rescued.
06:38Niko Sereno of GMA Regional TV, Katutok.
06:45The Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission, NBI-DSWD, Interagency Council Against Trafficking, and Bureau of Immigration
06:55gave this compound in Barangay Agus, Lapulapu City, Cebu.
07:00It has 10 houses, swimming pool, restaurant, and other facilities.
07:06But the computers and gadgets, according to the authorities, are being used for scams.
07:12This is 100% an illegal pogo.
07:16This is illegal because there is no pogo that has a license here in Cebu Province. Zero.
07:21So this is already illegal.
07:24All that we have seen here is enough evidence to be able to file a cybercrime offense here
07:31for facilitating cybercrime-related gambling, cybercrime-related qualified trafficking.
07:38The authorities know the contents of the computers in the pogohab.
07:43During the raid on the compound, up to 150 people were injured.
07:48The authorities held them for investigation.
07:52What are you doing, sir? Are you working here?
07:55No, no, no. I don't know, sir.
07:57Why are you staying here, sir, in this place?
07:59I don't know.
08:00Huh? Sorry?
08:01I don't know.
08:02We also discovered that the Chinese nationals here were also engaged in activities
08:11that appeared to be related to scam activities.
08:17According to PAOC, there are five Filipino managers and administrators there.
08:21Most of these foreign nationals actually escaped from Pampanga.
08:27So after our raid in Pampanga, their managers, their owners, they were brought here,
08:34according to their stories.
08:36There were also rescued Filipino minors.
08:39The minor that we interviewed, he will just go here just to teach one of the guests here
08:49to teach her a dancing lesson.
08:52The operation was stopped at the request of the Embassy of Indonesia.
08:56This July, three of their countrymen escaped from the compound.
09:01Two of them reported to the authorities and filed a complaint.
09:05The Indonesian Embassy requested our director, Director Jaime Santiago,
09:11for investigative assistance to rescue their citizens
09:17who were allegedly being held against their will.
09:20Six Indonesian nationals who were requested for the rescue.
09:25We discovered more foreign nationals, particularly Indonesians and those from Myanmar,
09:32as well as Chinese nationals.
09:34It is now known who is behind this POGO hub and who are their victims.
09:40PAOC is also aware of possible other POGO operations in Cebu.
