00:00Authorities accused Makati City of accepting online lending apps due to complaints of abuse and harassment to their customers,

00:09as well as threats.

00:11They also complained of high interest rates and hidden fees, which made it difficult for customers to pay.

00:18According to the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission,

00:22they are also considering the possibility that the former POGO operatives are behind this loan-scamming.

00:30Approximately 127 people were arrested in the operation.

00:36Let's follow up on the organized raid carried out by the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission during the operation.

00:44Let's talk to Yusec Gilbert Cruz, the Executive Director of PAOK.

00:48Good evening, Yusec Cruz. This is Patrick Jesus of PTV.

00:52Good evening to all the listeners and viewers of our program. Good evening to all of you.

01:01Yes Yusec, these are the people who were caught in your raid in Makati. How many of them are there?

01:05Are there any charges against them?

01:08They are 117 people.

01:12We will be also filing a case against the foreigners, the Chinese.

01:20In violation of the S.E.C.

01:26We will automatically file a case against the 117 people.

01:32Are all of them Filipinos, Yusec? Or are there foreigners?

01:38We caught the Filipinos.

01:42Actually, on the spot, we saw that during the raid,

01:46their computers and monitors are still there.

01:52They are transacting with their contacts.

01:56It is possible that they are victims of their loan-scam.

02:04Who are those behind you, Yusec? Are they foreigners?

02:08We have a list of foreigners.

02:12Maybe by Monday, we will know their names.

02:16We haven't filed a case yet because we caught them yesterday.

02:20By Monday, we will file a case against them.

02:24Okay, yes Yusec. What are the charges against this lending app?

02:28Is this legal?

02:30There are those who claim that the interest is too high.

02:36Like one person, he borrowed P10,000 and was given P6,000.

02:42Almost 35% of their loan is from their loan scam.

02:50When he was not able to pay, after one week, he was harassed.

02:54He was bribed. He was sent text messages.

02:58He was sent pictures of his relatives and children.

03:05They are afraid that they might kill their children.

03:11Yusec, did you see a connection between the loan-scam and the Pogo?

03:18Are they switching to this type of activity?

03:25We are looking into it.

03:27In this case, the loan scams are hidden.

03:33Unlike the Pogo, the foreign nationals involved in the Pogo are hidden.

03:40But in this case, the loan scams are hidden.

03:44They can direct, monitor, even if they are not in the area.

03:50But Yusec, so far, in the initial investigation of the POGO,

03:54did you see a connection between the Chinese scammers and the facility you mentioned?

04:01There is a connection as to the Chinese foreign nationals involved in this loan scam.

04:11But like I said earlier, we will file the case against them by Monday.

04:17Okay. Yusec, recently, there were Chinese foreign nationals who were arrested for espionage.

04:26Is the PAOC also helping in this investigation

04:29to see if they have a link to those who used to operate the Pogo?

04:36The NBI and even the Armed Forces of the Philippines

04:41are working closely with the Chinese for their identities and connections.

04:47The cooperation of the agencies is ongoing

04:51to see if they are really involved in espionage activities.

04:55But Yusec, how is the monitoring?

04:57Are there still Pogo companies operating here in our country?

05:01Because last year, our President ordered to stop the Pogo operations.

05:07And they operate now in a smaller scale, Pogo operations.

05:12And we are continuously monitoring there.

05:15Okay. Yusec, your message to our countrymen?

05:20Well, maybe the message I will give is to the victims of loan scams.

05:27Because it's right, if we are in debt, sometimes we are in debt to our captains.

05:34Sometimes, our captains, instead of helping us, they will help us.

05:39So let's be careful with what we are going to deposit.

05:43Especially if we are not in debt,

05:46these kinds of loan companies or loan apps that we will download

05:53so that we can borrow money.

05:55Okay. Thank you very much, Yusec Gilbert Cruz, the Executive Director.

06:00Yes, the Executive Director of the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission.
