00:00House to house or house to house is what the authorities in Pampanga are doing
00:04to make the illegal scam hubs leave their province.
00:08Let's go to Jonathan Andal's report.
00:13Following the explosion of the huge Pogo Hub in Porac,
00:17the authorities in Pampanga are now targeting the search for the first scam farm.
00:23The scope of the scam is smaller, according to the PAOC or Presidential Anti-Organized Scam Commission.
00:28They are now making it smaller because they know that if they are raided in a big place,
00:35they will all be destroyed.
00:36Instead of big houses, according to the PAOC,
00:39it is now possible for the operation of scam farms to be in condominiums, apartments, and houses.
00:44What we see there in Pampanga and what we see here in Southern Metro Manila,
00:49actually these are remnants of the big Pogo Hubs that we have raided.
00:55We are raiding all of these until such time that we will be able to build our bases for search warrants.
01:02The LGUs have started to build their homes.
01:05They have also agreed to issue a resolution prohibiting Pogo Hubs in the entire province.
01:09House to house, all of them, especially the big buildings.
01:13Even the fourth class, third class municipalities.
01:18So that we can be sure that there are no Pogo Hubs in Pampanga, even in the economic zone.
01:25Pogo in Porak and Pogo in Bamban, Tarlac were raided by Senator Riza Honteveros.
01:31He is Dennis Cunanan, a former official of the government
01:34who was previously convicted in Sandigan Bayan in the case of Graft and Malversation of Public Funds,
01:39also known as Pork Battle Scam.
01:41In two documents issued by the Senator,
01:43Cunanan's name was written as an authorized representative of Lucky South 99 Pogo in Porak
01:49and Hong Sheng Pogo in Bamban.
01:52Cunanan was signed by a member of the PAG Corp.
01:54who requested to give a license as a Pogo to Lucky South 99, which was only a BPO.
02:002020 was the year of the two members.
02:03Because of the pandemic, Honteveros said,
02:05Cunanan was involved in one of the biggest corruption scandals in the Philippines.
02:09And maybe what Cunanan did in the PDAF scam,
02:12he also did to the Pogos.
02:14Honteveros also said,
02:15it just shows that the two Pogos in Porak and Bamban have a connection.
02:20Cunanan was the former Deputy Director General of the Technology Resource Center,
02:24which is said to be used to transfer the pork barrel of politicians to bogus projects.
02:30Senator Cunanan will invite him to the next hearing of the Senate
02:34to clarify his role in the Pogos.
02:36According to their matrix of illegal Pogos,
02:39Cunanan is being investigated now.
02:42Cunanan said in his statement to GMA Integrated News,
02:45his consensus is clean
02:47and he is ready to help the authorities to stop the illegal activities of the Pogos.
02:52They were hired as independent consultants of the two companies
02:56to register as Pogos
02:58and everything went through a legal process.
03:00Cunanan clarified,
03:02they are not part of the activities of the two Pogos.
03:05The role of their consultancy firm is limited
03:08in registering the two companies.
03:10They are not connected to the two Pogos now.
03:13It is saddening that the PDAF cases were ignored in this issue
03:17and he was accused of being a convicted person
03:20while he was acquitted by more people
03:22compared to his alleged conviction
03:24that there was no final decision from the Supreme Court.
03:27Bamban Mayor, Alice Go,
03:29was hit by a human trafficking complaint on Friday
03:33because of the sale of his land that was built by the alleged Pogos.
03:38If you rent or lease your property to a group or a person
03:44that uses the said property in the commission of a crime,
03:47you have a responsibility,
03:49especially if the crime is happening continuously,
03:52that will be the first of a series of charges
03:55that we are preparing against the Mayor of Bamban.
03:58Mayor Go said that before he became mayor,
04:01he sold his share of the land that Pogos is currently occupying in Bamban.

04:11The money sent by the OFWs through the bank
04:18and other formal channels is worth more than Php2.56 billion or more than Php150 billion.
04:22According to the Bank of Central Philippines,
04:25it is the lowest since May 2023.
04:31In total, since the beginning of 2024,
04:34the cash remittances have increased to Php10.78 billion or Php632 billion.
04:41It is higher by 2.8 percent compared to the same period in 2023.
04:4641.1 percent of this is from America,
04:49followed by Singapore, Saudi Arabia, and Japan.
04:55Two men were jailed for stealing a motorcycle in Quezon City.
05:00They were convicted of the crime.
05:01This is the story of James Agustin.
05:06The CCTV footage shows the motorcycle that a man is riding
05:11in this part of Barangay Commonwealth, Quezon City.
05:14It was stolen just minutes after the man stole the motorcycle.
05:19According to the police, they were able to report it to their owner.
05:22He locked his motorcycle right in front of their house.
05:29Around 2 p.m., when he wanted to use it,
05:33he discovered that his motorcycle was missing.
05:37With the help of CCTV and a witness,
05:40the 24-year-old man was arrested for follow-up operation.
05:43He was charged with theft,
05:45so the 30-year-old man was also arrested in Manila.
05:49Our second suspect is the one who replaced the parts and accessories of this motorcycle
05:58to make it look new.
06:00At the same time, he is the one who will sell it at a low price.
06:07The motorcycle that was stolen was repaid to them.
06:10The two suspects who were previously jailed for drug-related cases
06:14were convicted of the crime.
06:16I just brought what I needed because I was waiting for my son's birthday.
06:24I was going to send it to my mother and get ready for it.
06:29Did you know that the motorcycle was stolen?
06:31Yes.
06:32What will you do with it?
06:34I will sell it to others so that I can have it.
06:39Why did you do that?
06:41I don't have a job. I don't have food.
06:45Suspects were fined for filing a complaint against the New Anti-Carnapping Act.
