00:00Seventeen Chinese were arrested in Panunuhol, Umano
00:04to free the twelve Chinese who were arrested in the Pogo raid in Paranaque.
00:08And five of them are Filipinos.
00:12Witness, John Consulta.
00:18The release of the Chinese bosses in exchange for the ransom.
00:21That was the negotiation in Pasay City
00:23that was held by the agencies of the NBI Cybercrime Division and STF.
00:27It was caught on video that the Chinese were approaching the Chinese bosses
00:31when they confirmed that the money was about to be withdrawn
00:33when the NBI officers were arrested.
00:42There is no doubt that even the Chinese interpreter
00:44who served as a middleman in the Panunuhol tank
00:47received P900,000 in cash.
00:50They negotiated that they will receive P300,000 per head.
00:57Our agents were shocked
01:02that for the twelve, they did it batch by batch.
01:07They sent P900,000 for the three, for the first three.
01:14Seventeen were arrested by the NBI including five Filipinos.
01:18Our boss called us
01:21to go to a place to pick up people.
01:26He gave me an ecobag
01:29and I don't know what's inside the ecobag.
01:33When asked where more than four people
01:36who were arrested in Paranaque came from and operated,
01:39the NBI said,
01:41Our report is that they came from Island Cove.
01:44They transferred here to the subject building.
01:47We identified the others there.
01:49Their status is supervisor.
01:51The others, there are three bosses there.
01:53We got it from their conference room.
01:57We found out in flagrante
01:59that they were engaged in love scam, crypto scam, investment scam.
02:04One of the Filipinos here,
02:06this is what was shown in the Congress of the Catholic Church.
02:10One of the Filipino subjects we arrested
02:13and executed an extrajudicial confession
02:16with the assistance of a council
02:18and admitted that there is a Chinese national
02:23who is the big boss of these foreigners
02:27and he is the one who produced the money.
02:31The Filipinos were jailed in the detention facility of the NBI.
02:34They were slapped with a complaint of corruption of public official
02:37and violation of the Anti-Financial Account Scamming Act.
02:40According to the NBI,
02:41of the 4,000 illegal workers they monitored in the country,
02:4580% of them were arrested in 2024.
02:4880% of those 400 workers were arrested.
02:51But their arrest doesn't mean that they were totally arrested.
02:56That's what we are after on a small scale.
02:59Of the 27,000 workers,
03:01they were allowed to leave the country.
03:03But there were successful operations in different parts of the country.
03:06That's why the NBI continued to monitor them.
03:09There were also reports in Northern Luzon and Visayas.
03:12In groups of 20 to 50,
03:16they formed groups,
03:18they re-rented two rooms
03:20and they were conducting scamming activities.
