00:00 A store in Bulacan is selling various products at a cheap price.
00:05 The punchline is that it's about to expire.
00:08 Oh no! You're going to go broke!
00:10 A tip was received by the Philippine National Police Criminal Investigation and Detection Group of PNP, CIDG Bulacan
00:17 from a confidential informant about a house in Marilao, Bulacan.
00:24 A mother came here and complained that her daughter's skin was damaged because of the lotion she bought.
00:30 We traced it out using a civilian asset.
00:35 We traced where the product came from.
00:37 The store owner said that the product came from there.
00:42 This house is hiding a dark and hidden secret.
00:46 Food, toiletries, and cosmetic products were all sold out on the expiration date.
00:52 We confirmed that the products were different.
00:57 We tested the products and found out that they were cleaned and then the expiration date was removed.
01:05 Then, they were sold.
01:06 Because of the tip received, an atrocious operation was immediately carried out.
01:10 In the video taken by a cellphone in August 8, 2023,
01:14 the three assets entered a house.
01:17 The seller, Maxine, pretended to be a customer. Her name is not her real name.
01:22 What is this?
01:23 Maybe it's the toiletries.
01:24 Maybe it's the cosmetics.
01:26 Maybe it's the poop.
01:28 In the video, we can see a cabinet in the room full of toiletries, perfume, lotion, deodorant, and more.
01:36 There are also cosmetics.
01:37 We will sell it in the market.
01:41 When the products enter the house, they are seen in different variations and sizes.
01:47 Oh!
01:48 In the video, we can also see some workers in the kitchen cleaning and washing expired items.
01:55 This is so messy.
01:58 This is a mess.
02:02 Social!
02:03 There are also orderers.
02:05 It's like they're in a grocery store.
02:07 They are happy.
02:09 They are so happy.
02:11 I'm cleaning for 100 pesos.
02:13 It's already an hour.
02:14 It's almost 4 o'clock.
02:16 Positive!
02:17 Negotiations on the assets of the suspect/seller, Maxine, continued.
02:21 We just need cash.
02:23 So we can pay.
02:25 Hey!
02:26 We haven't paid yet.
02:28 We haven't paid yet.
02:30 How much is that?
02:32 It's the toiletries.
02:33 It's the toiletries, right?
02:34 It's the toiletries.
02:35 You can pay for it.
02:37 It's the toiletries.
02:39 It's already a kilo.
02:40 It's already a kilo.
02:41 That's it so you won't have to pay.
02:43 The payment for the products is not per piece but per kilo.
02:48 We don't talk to the owner.
02:51 We talk to their employees.
02:54 They said that they sell it per kilo.
02:57 It depends on the product.
02:58 It's 50 to 60 pesos per kilo.
03:00 We'll save it first because you might charge us.
03:03 How much is 25 pesos?
03:05 Time of work?
03:07 It's 20 to 24.
03:09 20 to 20?
03:11 There's no doubt.
03:12 She's an expert.
03:13 I'll take one.
03:15 It's a bit polyurethane.
03:19 That's the trending one.
03:22 Hurry up.
03:23 All of it.
03:24 All of it.
03:25 Put it aside.
03:26 The innova will be different.
03:29 When it's time to pay, the negotiation was made.
03:32 [Dramatic music]
03:36 [Indistinct chatter]
03:41 Vanessa, 37 years old, wanted to have a clean and glowing skin.
03:46 She said she's a sucker for cheap cosmetic products.
03:49 But the lotion she used has expired since last year.
03:54 It expired last year, December 2022.
03:56 I didn't notice that it expired.
03:59 I used it last week.
04:01 The expired lotion she used had a bad effect on her skin.
04:06 It's like this.
04:07 Actually, it's gone.
04:09 I used to have a lot of it.
04:11 Now, I only have one.
04:13 It's too itchy.
04:15 So I just rubbed it.
04:17 It's like rashes that you can't understand.
04:20 It's like chicken pox.
04:22 It's too itchy.
04:23 Vanessa's experience was a lesson learned.
04:27 When it's expired, don't use any food, cosmetics, or other things.
04:32 The expired products, like the ones Vanessa used,
04:35 were also for sale in a small house in Bulacan.
04:38 The authorities opened the deepest, darkest secret shop of the innova.
04:44 The negotiation was made.
04:46 [Dramatic music]
04:50 [Indistinct chatter]
04:52 Come in.
04:53 [Indistinct chatter]
04:54 [Indistinct chatter]
04:59 When another room entered, the expired products were all over the place.
05:03 Like coffee, milk, ketchup, vinegar, soy sauce, and soy sauce.
05:07 [Indistinct chatter]
05:12 Is that milk?
05:13 Ketchup, soy sauce.
05:15 What's that? Is that [bleep]
05:17 Is that canned?
05:19 There's still some left.
05:21 Oil, toothpaste.
05:24 Confirmed.
05:25 These expired products were all there.
05:28 And not only that, the expired products were also from Malabon.
05:34 It's so smelly.
05:35 It's disgusting.
05:36 It's just being delivered.
05:38 Yes, because they're expired.
05:40 I think they're from Malabon.
05:41 There's food. We saw some food.
05:43 It's canned.
05:45 Yes, like that.
05:46 It's like that.
05:47 It's not canned.
05:48 It's rotten.
05:50 It's rotten.
05:51 These products are just being dropped in the red flower bed to be sold.
05:55 The workers are cleaning it to get rid of the smell.
05:58 And they're wiping the oil to make it look new.
06:03 There are a lot of products that are expired.
06:06 You can see in the video that you wouldn't have thought that it came from there.
06:10 Up to the third floor.
06:11 He's just cleaning the building to put the products.
06:15 According to the chief of Barangay Elias,
06:17 the suspect has been in their area for a month.
06:20 They're putting the products here and they're putting it near the stairs.
06:27 They're checking it because there are a lot of products on the top.
06:30 It's a bit full so there are some left on the floor.
06:33 The last two workers are still singing.
06:36 They've been entering the center for a few days.
06:39 And they earn 500 pesos every day.
06:43 Sometimes, we earn a lot because we're a group.
06:46 There are cleaners, removers, and pickers.
06:50 They say that the work is easy so we just do it.
06:53 Their job is...
06:55 We're cleaning.
06:56 We need to be notified.
06:58 All the items that are dirty, we're washing it.
07:03 We're cleaning it and we're buying baby oil to sell.
07:08 They'll pass the items to another team to erase the expiration dates.
07:13 After we clean it, we'll transfer it to the removers and pickers.
07:18 They'll put it in boxes.
07:20 Did you know that there's a law that prohibits it?
07:23 We interviewed the seller, Maxine.
07:25 She doesn't know that she's doing something illegal
07:27 but she knows that the products that she's getting are already expired.
07:31 I tested it and it's okay.
07:33 I got a personal one.
07:36 It's okay with our neighbors.
07:41 Nothing happened or anything racist happened.
07:48 They're also encouraging us since it's cheap.
07:50 You can just search on Facebook for products that are cheap.
07:55 For example, a jacket.
07:57 Of course, it's cheap, right?
07:58 We're buying it.
07:59 She's adding more.
08:00 She's using the products that she's selling.
08:02 Oh my!
08:03 When we're selling, we need to try it on ourselves first
08:09 before we sell it.
08:11 The Republic Act 7394 or Consumer Act of the Philippines is facing a lawsuit.
08:17 Maxine and the other two workers who were arrested.
08:20 If the perpetrator is proven guilty,
08:22 they'll be sentenced to 2 to 4 years in prison.
08:26 That's what they'll be sentenced to.
