00:00This is the arrest of the big boss of Lockheed Sound 99, Pogo in Porac, Pampanga.
00:06We will continue with Undersecretary Gilbert Cruz, executive director of the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission or PAOC.
00:12Good morning Usec Cruz.
00:15Good morning Egan and to our viewers and listeners of our program. Good morning to all of you. Good morning also ma'am Connie.
00:25What is the role of Liu Dong? Is he the big boss or is there another boss in the operation of Lockheed Sound 99, Pogo Hub?
00:36Liu Dong, alias Boss Boga and Apau and Hauhau, is what we consider.
00:47Hauhau means boss of boss. We can say that he's the kingpin of Pogo here in our country.
00:58He came here in 2016 and since then, he established Pogo in Region 3, Region 1, Region 4 and Metro Manila.
01:13He established many Pogos. We are looking at his involvement. Actually, Liu Dong, he's the one we demanded when we applied for a search warrant.
01:29He's one of the names in Banban Pogo, in Porac, Lockheed Sound 99. We've been looking for him for almost eight months, we've been looking for him Egan.
01:43From Porac, why did he go to Laguna? Is he also building there?
01:48He has a Pogo hut in that part, in Binan, Egan. That's why we're looking for him. When we're looking for him, Egan, he's also using chopper.
02:03That's why it's hard for us to follow Liu Dong.
02:10Does this also have a connection to Alice Guo? Is she also mentioned when you're looking at the information on Alice Guo?
02:19We're looking for her. Maybe this is one of the things she doesn't want to mention because she knows that she's still here.
02:24What Alice often mentions in hearings, these are the names that are no longer with us, those who are abroad.
02:34The three names that she mentions. Those who are demanded by us and those who are no longer here in the Philippines and abroad.
02:41These 12 names are the ones we're looking for who are running Pogo Hub here in our country.
02:49The one who was arrested?
02:51Yes. We're just checking the documents that they're holding and the identities. Of course, we're also checking the identities of our counterparts in the Chinese embassy,
03:03whether they are involved in other crimes in their country.
03:08Does Liu Dong have another name? Maybe he filed a COC, Usec?
03:16We're just checking that. So far, Liu Dong is the one he's using.
03:22Liu Dong.
03:23But he's known by other Pogos as Boss Boga or Bogo.
03:31And Bahaw.
03:33Yes. Apaw and Hauhaw. Boss of boss means Hauhaw.
03:38Aside from Porax and Laguna, he has many Pogo Hub operations in the country, Usec?
03:45We're just checking the ones he's supposed to build if they're still operating.
03:53But we checked last night that the Pogos he built are still operating.
03:58He said he's not your target.
04:03That's what they usually say.
04:06Because the Chinese, because of the number of names they have and the number of names they assume,
04:13they thought they were hiding their fake identities.
04:18So we will check that. But so far, we are positively sure that he's really involved.
04:24The Filipinos who were arrested, drivers, bodyguards, are they involved in the case, Usec?
04:31Yes. We will check because there are nine Filipinos.
04:35In our previous surveillance, we saw how they secure Liu Dong.
04:42They are really securing him.
04:44Actually, they have sweepers on motorcycles in the videos that we saw.
04:49They were looking around before he came out.
04:53We will check these nine Filipinos because some of them, they said they are drivers,
04:59while others are obviously bodyguards because we took their guns.
05:04Let's move to Merean Maslog.
05:07He's facing the Senate. Are you not convinced that he can help in the case of Alice Guo, Usec?
05:14I'm looking into this. Maybe his intention is to ruin the case.
05:21But obviously, his expertise is in lying.
05:28Yes.
05:29If you lied in the beginning or you lied about small things,
05:37it's easy for you to lie about big things.
05:41Usec, you watched the documentary of Al Jazeera.
05:44There's a segment where Xie Ziyang, who's in jail in the Thailand SP,
05:50who taught Alice Guo, was recruited by someone who's blurred.
05:56Are you investigating who recruited Xie Ziyang here in the Philippines?
06:01We are coordinating with the agencies involved.
06:06As you know, there are a lot of people who are interested.
06:10That's why we need strong coordination.
06:16Maybe I will take a break.
06:20Okay.
06:21Our work in Binandaguna, when we were arrested here in Quintin, Pogo,
06:31we are working with the Bureau of Immigration, of course,
06:36headed by Commissioner Joel Viado, and the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
06:42They are our help in working.
06:45They have a big role in this.
06:48Although, even the PNP, we also have a role here.
06:54I would like to thank them for their help in PAOK.
07:00Congratulations. Thank you Undersecretary Gilbert Cruz,
07:03Executive Director of PAOK. Take care.
