00:00As part of the discussions in the hearing of the Camera,
00:03regarding the possession of drugs and illegal land purchases in the Philippines by foreigners,
00:11Tina Pangaliban-Perez reported.
00:16A matrix was shown in the camera of the possession of drugs
00:20and illegal land purchases in some provinces.
00:24The matrix was formed based on the information found in the camera
00:28from the 3.6 billion pesos that were issued by Shabu in Mexico, Pampanga in 2023.
00:36Some incorporators asked the owner of the warehouse where the drugs were issued
00:41connected to various corporations,
00:44like Pharmaly, which was involved in overpricing medical supplies to the government during the COVID pandemic.
00:51The answer to Pharmaly is Michael Young.
00:54There seems to be a link regarding the possession of drugs by these companies.
01:03The House Committee on Dangerous Drugs issued an arrest order
01:07against Michael Young because of his involvement in the committee's invitations.
01:12Young's lawyer, Atty. Raymond Fortun, refused to comment on the matrix.
01:18The GMA Integrated News is also trying to get a reaction from those who were mentioned.
01:23Fernandez also said that Michael Young's brother was a transaction of suspended Bamban mayor, Alice Go.
01:30Based on what I saw and my appreciation of the evidence,
01:34I think it's a money laundering scheme of drug syndicates,
01:39the ones who pass through Pogo.
01:42These issues are also connected to the investigation by the House Committee on Public Accounts
01:48that it is illegal for Chinese nationals to buy land in Pampanga to run Pogo sites.
01:55It was established also that those so many hectares of land are being bought by the different corporations
02:04whose incorporators are proven to be Chinese nationality.
02:10We all know that there's a constitutional prohibition for foreigners to own land in our country.
02:15We saw that someone enabled the sale to the foreigners.
02:21Allegedly, this is assisted by no less than the LGU.
02:26Some lawmakers clarified that not all names in the matrix are connected to illegal activities.
02:32Their investigation is ongoing to find out who is really involved.
02:38Along with the possible legislation that will result in these investigations,
02:43there will be restrictions on obtaining Filipino birth certificates, Filipino passports, and buying land.
