00:00Personally, I strongly believe that there is a criminal organization operating in the country.

00:06So, which involves illegal POGOs, scum hubs, drug syndicates, EJKs, and all these.

00:13They are all included.

00:15Chairman Dan Fernandez said that there could be a direct link between these POGOs and the drug syndicates.

00:26It seems that the drug lords or the drug syndicate launders their money through these POGOs.

00:36Why do we say that?

00:38Because there are corporations that are registered where the incorporators of these corporations

00:47are the same incorporators of the owner of a warehouse that has drugs.

00:54Meaning, the Empire 999 that owns drugs in Mexico Pampanga,

01:01has associates in corporations where they are the same incorporators.

01:08So, the interlocking incorporators is our link that could involve these POGOs

01:17directly to Michael Yang, through his brother, who is remitting money to POGOs everywhere.
