00:00One of the POGO workers who continues to operate under the POGO ban was raided in Pasay.
00:05According to a senator, there is a new style of recruiting POGO workers using social media.
00:11Witness, Salim Arefran.
00:13Where is your owner?
00:18Business permit.
00:21Who is the manager here?
00:23He is with the officers of the local government of Pasay.
00:27Stand up.
00:31The authorities carried out the mission order of the LGU
00:34against the five floors of this condo building in Makapagal Boulevard.
00:38The license and business permit from the LGU is no longer valid.
00:41This POGO worker who continued to operate under the POGO ban is now under arrest.
00:45We received an intelligence report that someone is operating under the POGO ban.
00:50There are 500 foreigners and a few Filipinos who were raided in different rooms.
00:55There are Chinese, Vietnamese, Koreans, and Malaysians.
01:05This foreigner lost his permission from the authorities to use his cell phone.
01:10He was immediately arrested.
01:16These foreigners were caught escaping from the far exit of the building.
01:22Various scams were discovered by the authorities against the units.
01:26In our initial viewing, we saw investment scams, love scams.
01:32Here in the 10th floor of the condo building,
01:35we can see local SIM cards.
01:38These are used for text blasters,
01:41which send messages that are used for manipulation.
01:45The DOJ Office of Cybercrime also saw
01:49sent amounts or valuables using local e-wallets.
01:54This is an indication that not only foreigners,
01:57but also Filipinos are included among the victims.
02:01We saw a list of names of Filipinos who are sending money.
02:06The biggest is around Php 5,000.
02:08There are also Php 20, Php 70.
02:12Text blasters are used for money laundering.
02:18What do you do? What are your operations?
02:21Our operation is a customer service.
02:24We use a platform from other countries.
02:29I'm just a translator for them.
02:34I used to be the only one outside.
02:37I was the only one allowed in.
02:41Do you know this?
02:42No.
02:43Why did you say no?
02:44I don't know.
02:46Because of the laundering,
02:47the local government will issue a closure order.
02:51Because there is a violation of our ordinance,
02:56we need to padlock the establishments
03:01that operate without a business permit.
03:04Obviously, this group of smugglers
03:08is facing a violation of our law.
03:11They are too greedy.
03:14Despite the fact that they have a closure order from Pagcor,
03:17they are still operating full blast.
03:20According to Senator Risa Ontiveros,
03:23there is a new way to recruit smugglers.
03:27There were travel ads in the beginning,
03:30but to signify interest,
03:34they will sign in and recruit them
03:39for scam operations.
03:44They already have victims.
03:47There are 12 Filipinos
03:50who are waiting to be rescued in Myanmar.
03:53At least one of them was raped by a Chinese boss.
03:58Pagcor is also involved in the fight against the scammers.
04:03Every week,
04:05the Pagcor team still goes around
04:08to make sure that
04:11these former smugglers are closed.
04:15For GMA Integrated News,
04:17I am Susana Imarefra of your Saksi.
