00:00According to the arrest of Jiang Xiaodong, undersecretary Gilbert Cruz, executive director of the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission of PAOC,
00:11Good morning Usec.
00:14Good morning Agan to our viewers and listeners of our program. Good morning to all of you.
00:20Welcome. Aside from pursuing illegal weapons, what other crimes is Jiang Xiaodong involved in? Is he also connected to illegal smugglers?
00:34Actually, that's what we saw. His connection to illegal smugglers and his case of money laundering in other countries.
00:45Actually, he's wanted in Taiwan. With that, the document that we have, his involvement in various crimes in Taiwan, that's what we have. That's why we arrested him.
01:07You said that Jiang is wanted in Taiwan. What is his case there?
01:12He's involved in fraud cases. Aside from that, he has a warrant for his involvement in gun running activities.
01:23So what is the government's plan? Will he be deported or will he face the case here in the Philippines?
01:32He has a case here. He will face his case here in the Philippines and of course, his case in Taiwan or other countries after he serves his case here in the Philippines.
01:51How did he get into the Philippines? It looks like we have a favorite criminal.
01:56You're right Igor. We get a lot every time we raid POGO hubs or POGO operations. We always get wanted persons.
02:08If you recall, when we raided an online gaming, we got a wanted person from Indonesia, where he's involved in almost three billion pesos of money laundering.
02:31When we turned it over to Indonesia, it looks like this is a big case for them.
02:40Let's go to the POGO issue. Their licenses will expire on Sunday, December 15. From December 15, they will continue to close until December 31.
02:54How is our monitoring?
02:57That's right Igor. Actually, those who are in our monitoring, those who have IGL licenses, those who have POGO licenses, that's just a few.
03:11But what we are looking at here, those who converted to the big POGO hubs or POGO operations, they converted to small POGO hubs.
03:24They are now buying from resorts, condominiums and apartments, especially those in our gated houses.
03:39That's what we are looking at right now.
03:42The President ordered the government agencies not to stop the POGO and internet gaming licenses that are still operating even though it's prohibited.
03:51How many are doing that and is it true that some of them are already operating in the Philippines?
03:59That's our report, Igor. Although, in our report, it looks like they have found a way for the Filipinos to operate, but they are supervised by foreign nationals.
04:13They are working separately. If these Filipinos are caught, their bosses will be separated.
04:25The House Squad Committee has already returned the contempt orders against some POGO personalities, like Alice Guo, Cassandra Leong and Tony Yang.
04:36Will your actions against these people not be affected, Usec?
04:41No. We still have cases against them. They have to face or if they need to, they will still fix their case so they can be released from jail.
04:53We just returned the contempt of the squad committee. That's all. But they still have cases against them, so they can't be released immediately.
05:09Okay. Thank you very much Executive Director Usec Gilbert Cruz. Be careful.
05:14Thank you, Igan.
05:23Thank you very much.
