00:15 This is just one of the cases of the re-intrusion of the NBI, DOJ, DICETI and other authorities in the cybercrime hub in Pasay City.
00:28 The so-called cybercrime hub was the first to be re-entered in August 1.
00:33 The target of the authorities is to open and find out what is inside the facility, which contains more than 30 vaults.
00:42 More than 7 million pesos worth of cash and cellphones were recovered from the vaults that were opened.
00:48 Passports, visas and SIM cards were also recovered.
00:53 According to the authorities, various scams are being done in the Pogo Hub.
00:57 Other employees who are involved in the fraud are also unaware of the company they are entering.
01:04 There are several scams here. We have love scams, we have task scams, we have crypto scams and we have illegal gambling here.
01:14 Their operation is very segregated, very siloed, and other employees here do not know that they are actually in a scam.
01:25 So it's very, they are isolating every part of the operation.
01:32 Aside from the Filipinos, various foreign nationals were also arrested who work in the so-called Pogo Hub.
01:39 28 foreign nationals were charged criminally for violation of the SRC and violation of Cybercrime Prevention Act.
01:48 And around 84 Filipinos were also charged. But then, the 84 Filipinos were let go because we didn't have sufficient evidence at that time to charge them.
01:58 So they were released for further investigation by RFI.
02:03 This is a mix of foreign nationals. You have the Chinese, Malaysian, even Indonesians, Vietnamese and even from Myanmar.
02:12 It is expected that the opening of the remaining vaults and inventory of these contents will be completed today.
02:20 BN Manalo, for the people.
