NewsTranscript
00:00Before the witness, let's get to know the two government officials who helped the children of the arrested FOBO workers.
00:08They were paid a few million pesos by some of the victims
00:12in the belief that the suspects can free their loved ones.
00:17Witness, Salimere Fran, exclusive.
00:20What is this? What is this?
00:25I didn't accept this, sir.
00:29What do you mean?
00:30I didn't accept anything, sir.
00:32After receiving marked money, this woman and another man were arrested.
00:37They were operatives of PNP-CIDG, AFP, and PAOK in a visa consultancy office in Intramuros, Manila.
00:44They introduced themselves as PAOK, Bureau of Immigration, and NBI.
00:50They promised to free and remove the arrested FOBO workers from the deportation list.
00:57Erra was arrested by the judge due to stress
01:01in order to be able to pay the 1.1 million pesos requested by the suspects.
01:07Her fiancé's parents even rented the house in China in order to be able to pay.
01:13How much did you give in total?
01:15900,000.
01:17900,000?
01:19Yes.
01:20Then, what happened? What did you give?
01:23Nothing, sir. Until now, my fiancé is still not released.
01:28I am also worried about my fiancé's parents
01:31because they were only given a month to pay for the house they rented.
01:37Nize's husband was arrested in a raid in Parañaque and paid 1.1 million pesos.
01:43But the problem is, it was not PAOK, but the Bureau of Immigration who arrested her husband.
01:49They told me to wait because PAOK was the one who told my husband to hold PAOK.
01:54They told me not to worry. I simply believed them.
01:58This office is a visa consultancy firm, but they offer extra service.
02:04Yes, that is the arrangement of various documents for the victims.
02:10Here, you can see the various documents, passports, and alien certificates of registration.
02:17All of these were pre-processed by the authorities for the case they are preparing for the last suspects.
02:24The passports, alien certificates of registration, and various documents were also recovered.
02:30According to PAOK, the office is now under their radar because they are FIXERs.
02:35We received reports last year, even last year, about who are the FIXERs or who are the conduits
02:43who are carrying Chinese documents.
02:49Especially those who are working in POGO operations,
02:53their passports are being processed so that they can have Philippine passports,
02:57they can have a birth certificate from PSA, and even a death certificate if they want to kill someone,
03:04and then they will exchange a new identity, they will make a new certificate.
03:09This is what we are looking for.
03:12There are already many victims in the group, including the mothers of POGO babies.
03:16According to PAOK, there are members of the group in various agencies of the government.
03:22We have seen pictures, we have seen videos.
03:26We will not stop them, we will really stop them.
03:30The arrested refused to give a statement.
03:33No comment.
03:34The two are facing multiple complaints of robbery extortion, usurpation of personal authority,
03:40estafa, and grave coercion.
