00:00More than 30 Indonesians were helped to escape from Pasay City by some Chinese nationals.
00:05In Paranaque, a Chinese man was captured and tortured by his Chinese accomplices.
00:11The suspects who were arrested are not allowed to be connected to POGO.
00:16Live from Pasay City, we have first up, Jomer Apresto Exclusive. Jomer.
00:22Ivan, good morning. I'm here outside a house in Pasay City that serves as a detention facility for the members of the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission or PAOC.
00:35Here, they brought some Chinese nationals who were caught in the separation operation of PAOC last night.
00:42What did you say?
00:45I said, what did you say?
00:52A confidential informant sent this video to the members of the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission or PAOC.
01:00Two Chinese nationals captured and tortured the man in the video, who is also Chinese.
01:07A few moments later, the authorities found the victim, who was brought to an expensive condo unit in Paranaque City.
01:14The body was covered with a bandage and bandages.
01:18We got the information that he was here in 1902.
01:22Then, when we checked, the victim was positive.
01:26He said that the two suspects were hiding in the rooms.
01:32A suspect was caught, who was believed to have a gun in the video.
01:40In this video, the PAOC forces opened this room where another suspect was hiding.
01:53He was also caught by the authorities.
01:55Here in this room, it is said that the Chinese nationals were tortured by the suspects.
02:01The PAOC recovered a few items here, such as these bandages and bandages.
02:09According to the PAOC, the reason why the victims were kidnapped and tortured is not yet clear.
02:14But it is said that there is a possibility that the suspects and members of a large group were illegally arrested.
02:21The kidnapping of the Chinese nationals in the area of Southern Metro Manila is already rampant.
02:27The reason is that sometimes they are being tortured, sometimes they are in debt.
02:31One of the suspects is under the immigration biometrics and they will be turned over to the police for investigation.
02:38They have no statement.
02:40In this dark part of a house in Pasay City,
02:44the people of the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission of PAOC,
02:48the Indonesian nationals, tried to escape in the hope of being caught by the authorities.
02:54According to the PAOC, this is a rescue operation for the Indonesian nationals
02:59who were employed by POGO and illegally detained by their chief Chinese national.
03:04They were forced to get their passports so that they could not return to their country.
03:10We received a report that there are Indonesians who are being held against their will here.
03:15We immediately notified the Indonesian Embassy.
03:19The Interpol arrived.
03:20In total, 34 Indonesians were involved in the operation while two Chinese were arrested.
03:28One of them is a former member of the People's Liberation Army
03:33who was suspected of being a member of the People's Liberation Army.
03:36He was shown a uniform of the People's Liberation Army.
03:39He used to have a warrant of arrest for kidnapping.
03:44Now, he was shown that his case has been dismissed.
03:47But we will find out.
03:49While the other one was arrested, he was a finance officer there.
03:52Based on the information obtained by the PAOC,
03:55it is almost certain that POGO is where the Indonesian nationals operate.
03:59But the PAOC does not believe this because some of the people they talked to
04:04were almost receiving their salary yesterday.
04:07It is also possible that the victims were being brought to another POGO hub.
04:11According to the PAOC, some Chinese nationals are being brought there to go to Cambodia.
04:17But they need to pay to return their passports.
04:21The problem, according to the PAOC, is that when the victims arrive there,
04:25they will become scammers there.
04:27For now, they will request a voluntary repatriation to the Indonesian Embassy
04:31to give the victims a one-way travel pass.
04:38Ivan, the authorities are still investigating the background of the Chinese nationals
04:43who were arrested during the PAOC operation last night.
04:47And that is the first news from Pasay City.
04:50I am Jomer Apresto for GMA Integrated News.
