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.
