00:00We will still talk to the illegal POGOs in the country. We will talk to the Executive Director of the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission,

00:06Undersecretary Gilbert Cruz. Jose Cruz, good morning.

00:10Good morning, Egan and to our viewers and listeners of our program. Good morning to all of you.

00:16Thank you. How did you confirm that Wang Ji Yang is the boss of all bosses of illegal POGOs? Is it based on the documents you obtained?

00:26Yes. Aside from the documents we obtained, his name is being mentioned in all of our raids, including our raid in Banban, Banban POGO Hub,

00:42our raid in Puntana. He's also there. We obtained documents. Actually, we obtained one of his passport during our raid in Puntana.

00:51Wang Ji Yang has five passports. He has a Cambodian passport, a Chinese passport, a Dominican passport, a Spanish passport, and a Taiwanese passport.

01:09He's very quick-witted. When it's hot in a place, he runs to other countries.

01:18How did you obtain those five passports? Are they all Philippine or are there others?

01:23There are many passports. His passports are different, Egan. They're from different countries.

01:30Senator Win Gatchalian said that Wang Ji Yang is one of the helpers of Dismissed Mayor Alice Guo who ran to other countries.

01:38That's what we're seeing. In the scope of this network, this is what we followed, Egan, that he's always in a chopper and he's flying to other islands.

01:53When we raided Baufulan, Sunyuan Pogo in Tarlac, he was one of the escapees. He's good and he's used to it, Egan.

02:09As for Mayor Alice Guo's escape, this is one of our concerns that he's a big help because they are the two high-ranking personalities in the Pogos that we caught.

02:24Actually, Wang Ji Yang is one of the biggest parties or shareholders in the Pogos business in our country.

02:35Will we catch him?

02:38For now, we're monitoring. We're just waiting for Egan's release of his red notice. If he's released, we know where he's going.

02:54How about the two Chinese middle managers of Pogo who are under Paok's custody?

03:02For now, we will file an inquest on the suspects. According to the sources that were given to us, there were two rescues.

03:17One was tortured and left inside the room and tied up. The other one was released early in the morning and his bed frame was still moving.

03:27That's when he was arrested. We have good witnesses and complainants. They trusted us and they're willing to demand the middle managers of Pogo.

03:42Are there any new witnesses?

03:45For now, we have more witnesses. The former ones are not singing, Egan. Now they're singing because they saw the sincerity of our fight against the illegal Pogos.

04:03How about the so-called burial sites? Do you have a warrant to verify that in Pogo Hub in Porac, Pampanga?

04:15For now, Egan, we are still applying for a warrant. Although the witnesses who were released, they were taught four sites inside Pogo Hub in Porac.

04:29Of course, we need to check, Egan, that we're not just talking. Of course, we will check thoroughly if they're telling the truth.

04:41But for us to legally proceed, we need to get a court order.

04:48The Bulgarian one billion that was offered by Alice Go, according to Senator Ping Lackson.

04:55Are you in Paok? Are you operating there? Is there a way to get money and stop your operation against them?

05:07I'm not surprised, Egan, that they will offer such a large amount of money.

05:12The Pogo is making a lot of money. They're talking about billions of pesos per month.

05:21Actually, to be honest, it's not that much money for them.

05:29If someone is offering money to Paok, it's automatic. They thought they will get money and they will get money.

05:39Of course, they will offer that to you. It really depends on you if you will accept that.

05:47But there are parts, Egan. That's all. They know us. We will not give up easily.

05:56Thank you Usec. Thank you very much for your time.

06:00Executive Director Undersecretary Gilbert Cruz. Be careful.

06:03Thank you. Thank you.
