00:00Illegal operation of POGO in a condominium building in Pasay City.
00:05Authorities were attacked by hundreds of people and some Filipinos were arrested.
00:09JM Pineda is back.
00:14More than 500 foreign nationals, including some Filipinos,
00:17were arrested by the authorities in this illegal POGO hub in a condominium building in Pasay City.
00:23PNP, CIDG, and LGU, a joint force of PAHOK, was involved in the operation of POGO
00:29in its five buildings,
00:31including the Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean nationals who were arrested.
00:35Despite this, the total POGO ban in the country was implemented.
00:39But even if it is closed, the operation is still ongoing.
00:43The business also does not have a business permit,
00:46so the company has no right to conduct the operation.
00:49POGO was seen because of the complaint of some workers near the condominium.
00:54There is a Filipino who works near the area and he noticed that he is worried
01:01why so many foreign nationals are entering this building.
01:05The city government of Pasay issued a mission order to check the tutorial visit earlier.
01:12When they saw that an illegal POGO was operating,
01:16the city government of Pasay issued a cease and desist order.
01:20It was discovered that aside from POGO operations,
01:22the company also conducts mixed scamming activities.
01:26So far, what we have seen here is POGO operations,
01:30bordering on cryptocurrency, investment scam, love scam, and spamming.
01:35Of course, that's just a plain view.
01:39We haven't obtained the contents of the computers.
01:43We will have to apply for a severance so that we can see what the contents are.
01:47The last foreigners were brought to the headquarters of POGO
01:51while the investigation is ongoing.
01:53They will also find out if the Filipinos who were caught in the area have any answers.
