00:00Be careful when buying medicine, especially if it's not from an authorized pharmacy.
00:05You might have already saved, but the medicine is not registered, like what was seen in Pasay.
00:11Marisol Abdurrahman, Xclusive, was able to find out.
00:18After receiving a statement from the alleged buyer,
00:22the CIDG Detection Special Operations Unit immediately entered.
00:26This condominium unit is located in Pasay City.
00:29The room was misused by the pharmacy because of the different medicines.
00:32It's not a common brand, and there are even foreign characters.
00:38You won't read the label, you're just taking the word of the seller for it.
00:43This is for this, this is for this.
00:46And the bad thing about this is that our FDA has no validation if what they're saying is true.
00:52The operation was initiated after the CIDG reported
00:55the illegal sale of unregistered medicines.
00:59And they're not just selling it in the suspect's area, but also online.
01:04At the very least, it will be a placebo that has no effect on the body,
01:08or at worst, if it's dangerous chemicals that our countrymen took.
01:14It's really dangerous, it's very dangerous.
01:16Some antibiotics, pain relievers, heart medicine, and herbal medicines were confiscated.
01:23Some imported beauty products were also confiscated.
01:26The medicines are said to be tampered with because they're not harmful,
01:28which is cheaper when compared to branded medicines.
01:32The problem is, there's really no assurance that this medicine will have the effect that they promised to have.
01:40Chinese, Taiwanese, and Vietnamese POGO workers are the main target of this operation,
01:45as well as some of our countrymen.
01:47One Chinese person was arrested during the operation.
01:50You are selling fake or unregistered medicines here in the Philippines?
01:55You sell unregistered medicines?
01:58Antibiotics, medicines?
02:02Are you selling them?
02:04No, I'm not.
02:07The CIDG-DSOU will continue its investigation
02:10to determine the possible cause of the arrest of the suspect.
