00:00Authorities investigated a company owned by Pogo, the kingpin, Lim Zunhan, in Binan, Laguna.
00:07In Makati City, 17 households, possibly from the larger Pogo, were arrested
00:13because they were involved in hacking and other scams.
00:16Let's talk about it with Sally Marafran.
00:21Hands up, hands up.
00:2317 households were arrested in a house in Makati City
00:26because they were involved in a love scam, crypto scam, and hacking.
00:30There's a hacker, there's a buyer of the data.
00:33We saw a program code and a script that can be used to access other systems
00:39without the authority nor consent of our system owner.
00:42We assume that they have activity in terms of hacking.
00:46According to the NBI,
00:48since they joined the larger Pogo operation, Malaysians, Taiwanese, and Chinese are being counted.
00:55The larger Pogo, they grouped into a smaller group,
01:00occupying residential units, apartments,
01:06so it's not obvious that it's still Pogo, to continue with their scamming activities.
01:13We asked them where their passports are.
01:16They said they're in the B.I. for the process of downgrading.
01:19Working visa, but now they're downgrading as tourists.
01:23They were inquired about the online fraud and hacking of the Cyber Crime Prevention Act.
01:28The GMA Integrated News tried to get the names of the arrested,
01:32but they still have no answer.
01:35In Laguna, the PAG Corp, Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission of PAOC,
01:40Binyan LGU, and Binyan Police inspected the New Wave Infotech Limited Philippines,
01:45but they found something different.
01:47As you can see, the computers are already downgraded.
01:52The monitors, the CPUs, the hard drives of those computers are downgraded and all of them are gone.
02:03Obviously, they're hiding something.
02:07Because the first thing they removed were the hard drives.
02:10So the digital evidence was removed.
02:14It's really unusual.
02:16Of course, when we close, the first thing we do is to get the valuables.
02:22And we know that the computers have value.
02:24The company is an IGL or Internet Gaming Licensee.
02:28But PAOC said they have information that Lin Shunhan, alias Boss Boga,
02:36who is the godfather of illegal smugglers in the country,
02:39and his 12 other Chinese associates,
02:42the middle managers of New Wave and the bosses of other POGOs,
02:47Lin Shunhan is the big boss of New Wave.
02:50New Wave came from other POGOs that were raided before.
02:55We have a reasonable ground to believe that New Wave's involvement is more on scamming.
03:00So maybe he has legitimate offshore gaming.
03:04PAOC also said,
03:06We received a report that on Friday, when the boss was arrested,
03:10on Thursday night, on the early hours of Friday,
03:13the people who were staying here had their own hard drives.
03:15We are still trying to get hold of the company.
03:18Boss Boga will also be called for the next hearing of the Senate,
03:23which is said to be related to Dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Guo.
03:27According to the witness of PAOC,
03:29Guo himself reported to Boss Boga as Madam Hua,
03:33related to the establishment of POGO in Bamban, Tarlac.
03:36Of course, he's angry. First of all, there's no truth to these allegations.
03:42It's a deadline for POGO employees to downgrade their working visas
03:48as a preparation to leave the country before the year ends.
03:53They will be given a temporary visitor visa at 59 days
03:57or almost two months to leave the Philippines.
04:00Those who are legally leaving the country will not be blacklisted.
04:04We'll still have the opportunity to come back to the Philippines for legal reasons.
04:09But those who will be left behind,
04:11those who did not follow the policies of our government,
04:15they will be deported and blacklisted.
04:18PAOC admitted that it's not easy to get rid of more than 100 illegal POGOs.
04:23They also warned the property owners
04:26that POGO operators who are looking for land will not be blacklisted.
04:31Please make sure that you do your due diligence.
04:34Because if we prove that you allowed your facility to be used for illegal activities,
04:40we will lock you up.
04:41We will file a civil power feature to get your property from the government.
