00:00 PNP and NBI are now investigating the Payola folder
00:05 discovered in a restaurant in Pasay,
00:10 especially the names of their units,
00:12 and the petty cash vouchers.
00:14 More than 70 were involved in the raid,
00:17 including some minors.
00:19 Marisol Abdurrahman was on the scene.
00:24 This Saturday, the DILD Special Projects Group SPG
00:30 raided the high-end bar and restaurant in Pasay.
00:33 72 women were rescued, including three minors.
00:38 Some customers and employees were arrested.
00:40 According to Pasay City Police Reports,
00:43 27 of them are foreigners and 80 are Filipinos.
00:47 The folder, named Payola 2024, was also discovered in the raid.
00:51 The petty cash vouchers contain the names of some individuals
00:56 and law enforcement units in PNP and NBI.
01:00 Some are also important to the vouchers.
01:02 According to PNP, they won't let this pass.
01:05 We need to find evidence.
01:08 If you have information related to the Payola,
01:14 please contact your local police.
01:18 Definitely, ma'am, the registered owners, the ones who are running the operation,
01:22 I understand they already have some names,
01:24 but I have to wait for the official documents.
01:27 The NBI will also investigate, according to its director.
01:30 He said it's hard to base on the papers obtained from the bar,
01:33 and the names can only be used.
01:36 For now, the rescued are under the process of counseling.
01:41 The Pasay Police and Operations Committee refused to comment
01:43 on the fact that they only served as a security perimeter.
01:47 They were also not arrested.
01:49 They were turned over to the DILG team.
01:51 More than 10 people were charged
01:54 with complaints to the Pasay City Prosecutor's Office earlier.
01:57 The bar where the GMA Integrated News went earlier was closed.
02:00 We were able to find the CCTV footage.
02:04 The GMA Integrated News is still trying to get a statement from the DILG SPG
02:10 for other details.
02:11 For GMA Integrated News,
02:14 Marisol Abdurrahman,
02:16 NAKA TUTO, 24 HORAS.
