00:00A Rappler investigation finds a company run by the country's reclamation chief, Alex
00:05Lopez, is renting out office space to a Pogo.
00:08Lopez is the chairman of the Philippine Reclamation Authority and chairman and CEO of Pacific
00:12Concrete Products.
00:14The sublease contract obtained by Rappler shows Lopez signed a January 2024 deal to
00:19rent out the ground floor of Pacific Concrete's building to the Pogo company 3D Analyzer Information
00:25Technologies.
00:26The building is part of a larger property owned by the government-run Philippine National
00:31Construction Corporation.
00:33Authorities raided 3D Analyzer on October 3 and found evidence of love-scam operations.
00:38This was after President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. banned all Pogos.
00:42Pacific Concrete's lawyer Aldo del Rosario confirms the sublease to Rappler.
00:47He says Pacific Concrete is 65 years old, has had many subleases, and is a quadruple
00:52A contractor.
00:54There's odd comment from Lopez, but the PRA pointed to Pacific Concrete.
