00:10More than 400 Filipinos and foreign employees were arrested,
00:14as well as SIM cards that were pre-registered here in the Philippines and other countries.
00:21The first news is from Salima, the front.
00:24The warrant of arrest for a Chinese fugitive was issued by the PNP-CIDG,
00:35Armed Forces of the Philippines, Bureau of Immigration, DOJ Office of Cybercrime and PAOC,
00:41the three branches of a house in the Bay Area of Parañaque City.
00:46The target is also part of the illegal operation of Pogo, so the B.I. also implemented the mission order.
00:52146 foreigners, mostly Chinese, were arrested,
00:57including the man who has a warrant for fraud.
01:00307 Filipinos were arrested.
01:03This is one of the work areas here in Pogo, in Parañaque City.
01:08Aside from the rows of computers, you can see their cellphones everywhere.
01:14Aside from that, their SIM cards are everywhere.
01:18All of this will be processed by the authorities when they get the warrant.
01:25Not only in the Philippines, there are pre-registered SIM cards in NasamSAM,
01:29there are also in other countries.
01:31Every floor has a different scam.
01:33In the fifth floor and seventh floor, this is a stock investment scam.
01:37But the difference is that in the seventh floor, there is spamming using a Hong Kong mobile.
01:43In the sixth floor, it's an online betting scam.
01:47Their particular target is Indians.
01:49In the sixth floor, it's Filipino employees.
01:52You can also see scripts on computers that are used for fraud.
01:57They have a task scam, love scam, and the so-called Indian sports betting scam.
02:04They have been operating this for two years and they never stop.
02:07They came from an Asian country.
02:09When it got hot there, they moved here.
02:11Pogo was once raided, so the closure order was closed.
02:16In spite of that, and in the Pogo ban that was implemented,
02:19their operation continued under a different name.
02:23There are business licenses from the LGU and barangay permit.
02:28Before they issue their permits in the barangay and city hall,
02:36they should do a religious inspection of the establishment.
02:42They should check if their permit is entertainment.
02:46Are they really indulging their company in entertainment?
02:51Or maybe it's scamming like what's happening here.
02:54Immigration status of all foreigners will be known,
02:57especially if all work visas of Pogo workers are cancelled.
03:01The Filipinos will also be under sequestioning.
