00:00They caught one of the fugitives arrested in a subdivision in Muntinlupa in the act of scamming.
00:05The scammers were lured to the next house of the neighbors.
00:09This is the news of Ba Malegre.
00:15The authorities lured two fugitives in a gated subdivision in Muntinlupa.
00:20It was a hideout run by eight foreign nationals in Pogo, according to the Department of Justice.
00:26In one of the houses, three Chinese were arrested by DOJ, Bureau of Immigration and National Bureau of Investigation.
00:33Gadgets used in digital scams were also confiscated.
00:36This is one of the rooms here and a foreign national was caught in the act of scamming using these devices.
00:45Foreign nationals engaged in illegal activity feel safer in gated subdivisions because security is tight.
00:55It's more clandestine, it's more hidden.
00:58But because we have concerned citizens, we have neighbors that are vigilant, then there's really no safe place for them anymore.
01:10One of the suspects in the Pogo Hub in Porak, Pampanga, is still being investigated.
01:15One of the suspects is a defense attorney with the help of an NBI interpreter.
01:18He's just a businessman who plans to open a restaurant.
01:22I plan to go back to China next month.
01:25I haven't seen any good business.
01:28In another house, four Chinese and one Vietnamese were arrested.
01:32They did not give a statement regarding the arrest.
01:35Authorities ordered the suspects to help some concerned citizens in the community.
01:40According to the DOJ, this is an indication that the world is shrinking with scam hubs in the Philippines.
01:45While they're still here, they still have at least a few operations.
01:49So this is what we see in subdivisions, small houses.
01:56But in our opinion, this is all part of their interpretation of winding down.
02:01The suspects are under NBI custody and the Bureau of Immigration is processing their travel documents.
02:07Bam Alegre, reporting for GMA Integrated News.
