00:00Law enforcers turned the heat up as they zeroed in on fugitive SunWest executives.
00:05With warrants in hand, authorities vowed not to rest until the suspects are found,
00:10warning that anyone hiding them could also land in the line of fire.
00:14Patrick De Asus tells us more.
00:18More than a hundred operatives of the PNPCIDG and the National Bureau of Investigation or NBI
00:25went to a hotel in Pasay City on Friday morning.
00:30This was to serve the warrant of arrest against three officials of SunWest Inc.
00:36in connection with the case they are facing over the anomalous P289M flood control project in Oriental Mindoro.
00:46SunWest is reportedly a subsidiary of the said hotel,
00:50where the subjects of the warrant were allegedly being hidden and made deposed as employees.
01:00Every corner of the 10-story building was searched,
01:07including the kitchen and housekeeping section where the three accused might have hidden.
01:12But after an hour, they were not found and the arrest warrant could not be served.
01:18Despite this, authorities say they will not stop until they are tracked down,
01:24including other individuals who also have warrants.
01:28May it be buildings, may it be residential, may it be a subdivision.
01:40Kahit saan po yan, we will exert effort to locate them.
01:43Lahat ng default force of all law enforcement agencies available within the country is going against them.
01:52So kahit pa magtago sila, it will not take long.
01:55Default arm length of the law will catch up to them.
01:58CIDG also insisted that the deployment earlier was not an overkill for the operation.
02:06So this goes through with sa lahat ng susunod ng mga operations.
02:10Lalong-lalo na by December siguro we are expecting sunod-sunod yung labas ng mga warrant of arrest.
02:18As of now, seven remain at large among those with arrest warrants,
02:23including former representative Saldico.
02:26Authorities also warned those godly-dawanted individuals.
02:31Pag nakuha namin yan within sa iyong control, ay kakasuhan ka namin.
02:37Ayaw namin na humantong kayo sa ganon.
02:40Much more you cooperate.
02:41Kayo na mismo ang magsabi kung saan sila and we will be there.
02:45Open ang linya ng CIDG and other all law enforcement agencies para sa information.
02:52And we will be treating it as confidential kung sino man kayo.
