00:00Authorities raided a famous scamhub in Ermita, Manila.
00:04Some foreigners arrived there.
00:07This is the news brought to you by Beya Pinla.
00:1235 Chinese, 24 Indonesians, 10 Malaysians, and 47 Filipinos
00:20were arrested by the authorities who were working or managing
00:23a suspected Love and Cryptocurrency Scam Hub in Ermita, Manila last night.
00:28The people of the NCRPO, Securities and Exchange Commission, and PAGCOR
00:34raided a house.
00:36Based on the investigation, the employees of the Umanoy Scam Hub
00:42are in a relationship with the victims before they were able to invest in cryptocurrency.
00:46It's like that, through messages.
00:48So we can see there that their target is from Europe countries.
00:53So, is there something there?
00:55It's like, if you're Indonesian,
00:59there's automatically a translator for foreign languages.
01:03That's what he's going to send now.
01:05It's like you're talking to a local.
01:07But they're here, operating in the Philippines.
01:10It's possible that the employees filed a complaint
01:13for violating the Securities Regulation Code.
01:16The employees were first arrested,
01:18while the foreign nationals were brought to the NCRPO.
01:23The PNP is now coordinating with the Bureau of Immigration
01:26to review their documents.
01:28The employees' mouths were shut when they were asked to speak.
01:32In the same house, the authorities conducted a separate operation
01:36to arrest the five Chinese nationals who were illegally detained.
01:41GMA Integrated News talked to the son of one of the rescued
01:45about what happened to the victim.
01:47He doesn't speak in English.
01:49But what happened to him?
01:51He was gone for a few days.
01:53Then I saw him.
01:55He said he was here at the tower, working.
02:01And we also found out,
02:03because of the application used by my brother,
02:06that I can see where they are.
02:08He has bruises here.
02:12But we're still verifying where the bruises came from.
02:17The Chinese nationals who were illegally detained
02:20are still being investigated by the Umano Scam Hub.
02:23The authorities are continuing to investigate
02:25the scope and depth of these operations.
02:28Cryptocurrency is booming.
02:30We should have another policy
02:34in terms of how to regulate cryptocurrency here in the Philippines.
