00:00A man is being caught and jailed for selling gadgets in Tacloban City.

00:07The suspect has been wanted for a long time for selling illegal drugs.

00:12This is a news brought to you by BAMalegre Exclusive.

00:19A man is being seen in a fast food restaurant in Zamora Street, Tacloban City.

00:22This man is said to be the one who is stealing gadgets from online sellers.

00:26The modus is to leave the transaction, but he will leave the gadget before paying.

00:32But this time, there was no scam.

00:35Before he could leave the gadget, his transaction was recognized by the police.

00:39He is pretending to be an employee of a fast food chain.

00:44And that's where he is meeting.

00:46Once he is able to hold the gadget, he will say that he will let his manager check it.

00:55And once he is able to leave the transaction area inside the establishment, he will be released.

01:05The suspect has been wanted in Region 8 for a long time because he was convicted in 2024

01:10for selling illegal drugs.

01:11In his defense, he will continue to be a scammer for those who buy and sell gadgets

01:16using fake social media accounts.

01:19This is a reminder from the police.

01:20To those who are engaged in online selling or buy and sell,

01:24it is best if we check the social media accounts of our transaction

01:29to know if you are hacking it or if they are just using fake accounts.

01:34Let's not give too much trust and trust the gadgets that we are selling.

01:41The suspect has been released and is now in police custody.

01:44Aside from his sentence in the case of drug trafficking, he is facing a new complaint of estafa.

01:49Bam Alegre reporting for GMA Integrated News.

01:53Authorities arrested a Russian vlogger who went viral online because he harassed a Filipino woman.

02:00The vlogger arrived at a hotel in Pasay City before being taken to the Bureau of Immigration.

02:07The Russian vlogger went viral online after being tricked by several security guards at the BGC.

02:13The vlogger even forced an industrial fan to go to a restaurant for his content.

02:19The Bureau of Immigration considered the vlogger as an undesirable foreign national because of what he did.

02:26The vlogger was in a detention facility in Camp Bagong Diba before being deported.

02:31He has not been released yet.

02:34The news of the arrest of a Russian vlogger who was harassed by several Filipinos for his content is true.

02:40Let's talk to the Bureau of Immigration spokesperson, Dana Sandoval.

02:43Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.

02:46Good morning to you too.

02:48What is the reason for the deportation of the Russian vlogger?

02:52Yes, we considered him as an undesirable alien.

02:55He just arrived here.

02:58But when he arrived here, for the content,

03:02what he did was to spread rumors in our community.

03:09He spread rumors to our countrymen.

03:14We saw all the elements of being an undesirable alien.

03:18Is this a motoproject or someone filed a formal complaint?

03:21Is that why he is considered an undesirable alien?

03:24Aside from that, when we considered him as an undesirable alien,

03:28we saw in the videos that he posted,

03:32where he is almost sick,

03:35where senior citizens are bribing him,

03:38where the security guards in DGC googled him.

03:42But someone filed a complaint against him,

03:46one of the security guards that he deceived.

03:50He filed a complaint against Makati CNP.

03:55When he found out, the CIDG organized it for us.

03:58We also implemented an arrest warrant against him.

04:02Did this vlogger already have a statement?

04:04What was his response to this complaint?

04:07Actually, he did not seem to be remorseful about what he did.

04:12When we arrested him,

04:14his face was still very sick.

04:17When he was being videotaped during his reading of Miranda Reyes,

04:21he was even flying kissing the camera.

04:25It seems that he did not realize the gravity of what he was facing.

04:31Do you have any information

04:35if he has a similar case in other countries?

04:39When we researched his background,

04:41it seems that this person is notorious for this type of content.

04:45Allegedly, he was banned in some countries

04:50for disrupting the peace.

04:52He was also arrested several times

04:54for disturbing sports games.

04:58He did a lot of crazy things.

05:01He has been arrested and banned in several countries already.

05:04I would assume that this will also happen to him here in the Philippines.

05:08Yes, we will not tolerate such actions

05:11that disrespect Filipinos.

05:14We are a very hospitable people.

05:18But in this case, he went too far.

05:20He did not respect our fellow Filipinos.

05:25Is there a way for the Bureau of Immigration

05:27to stop him from going to other countries?

05:29There are records in other countries

05:32that he is notorious for such harassment.

05:34Maybe he is also committing a crime

05:36and can be flagged if he goes to another country.

05:39Yes, if the individual has committed a crime

05:42and it was entered in the Interpol database,

05:46or if we were informed by their government,

05:50then we can prevent them from entering the country.

05:53The only problem is that such petty crimes

05:56are not entered in the Interpol database

05:58and are not informed to us by their governments.

06:02We are proactive in our approach

06:05when we see such disruptive individuals

06:08who are inside our country.

06:10Our intelligence division will swoop in

06:12to effect an arrest and deport them

06:15to our country.

06:17Can you reconsider such a policy

06:19that petty crimes can also be entered in the database?

06:21Because petty crimes can start

06:23but it can result in a deeper crime.

06:27Understandable.

06:29But maybe that will be the policy

06:31of the Interpol or the country

06:33where the individual came from.

06:35We are on the receiving end

06:37on the types of crimes or information

06:39that they send to us.

06:41But once they send it to us

06:44we will put it in our database

06:46so that when it is encountered

06:48on the streets,

06:50the entry of an individual

06:52in the Philippines will be prohibited.

06:54Is he the only one facing a complaint?

06:56Because in his video,

06:58it looks like someone is taking from him.

07:00In our investigation,

07:02it looks like Filipinos

07:04are his accomplices

07:06who are taking videos.

07:08But I am unable to answer

07:10for local law enforcement

07:12because it looks like they are also looking

07:14for possible liabilities.

07:16These are Filipino partners

07:18or accomplices

07:20of this Russian blogger.

07:22What is the timeline

07:24of his deportation?

07:26How fast?

07:28Do we have coordination

07:30with the Russian Embassy?

07:32We can't tell you

07:34how long his deportation case is.

07:36We are still looking

07:38for a local case

07:41here in the Philippines.

07:43We would have to wait for the resolution

07:45of that local case.

07:47For example, if he is sentenced

07:49to prison here in the Philippines

07:51because of whatever crime he committed,

07:53he needs to serve

07:55his sentence in our local jails

07:57before we can implement

07:59the deportation.

08:01Where did he go?

08:03Did he just file a report

08:05to the Bureau of Immigration?

08:07Or did he file a report to the local police?

08:09He has a blotter

08:11in PNP Makati.

08:13His report was not a product

08:15of filing of anyone

08:17but as a product of proactive action

08:19when we saw that

08:21this foreign national case went viral.

08:23Okay.

08:25As for the deportation,

08:27please tell us

08:29what is the plan

08:31of the BI here

08:33regarding the deportation

08:35of some people

08:38through the help of PAOK,

08:40NBI, and of course

08:42their embassy.

08:44They are also providing a big help

08:46in providing tickets

08:48so that these foreign nationals

08:50can be released immediately.

08:52We have the same goal with PAOK.

08:54We want these people to be released

08:56and to be deported immediately

08:58so that there is space

09:00for new deportees

09:02because there are still many

09:04illegal co-workers.

09:06Will it be a long process

09:08if there are no passports

09:10or legal documents to be shown?

09:12Definitely.

09:14They need to get that

09:16from their embassy.

09:18The embassy would take some time

09:20in verifying.

09:22But their embassy

09:24commissioned us

09:26that they would expedite

09:28the processing of documentation

09:30needed by deportees.

09:32Last issue.

09:34The total

09:36that was repatriated last week

09:38was 206 in two batches.

09:40It will be the next day.

09:42The methods

09:44used by

09:46our fellow countrymen

09:48who work in scamhubs

09:50but the most alarming

09:52for us, for the bureau,

09:54is the 54 who went through the back door.

09:56We admitted that they went through the back door

09:58and entered the building

10:00outside the country.

10:02The PNP

10:04was caught by

10:06what we call the back door queen

10:08who assisted them

10:10to board a boat

10:12in the southern part of the Philippines

10:14to cross the sea illegally

10:16to Malaysia

10:18before they reach the country

10:20where they will work.

10:22Thank you very much for your time.
