00:00It was investigated on how the text blast machine was imported to the country.

00:05It was made from a Malaysian national.

00:08This equipment is not only used in scams, but also in election propaganda.

00:14Witness the June veneration.

00:18Text blast machines are called machines or devices.

00:22It can send and spread thousands of text messages that are transmitted to the cell site.

00:28These were confiscated yesterday by a Malaysian national

00:31who was arrested for selling a text blast machine.

00:35We caught the supplier.

00:37So it's just a matter of time.

00:39We will know who sold it.

00:43And when we find out, we will catch you.

00:47If you voluntarily surrender those equipment, you will not be charged.

00:56According to the Department of Information and Communications Technology or DICT,

01:00the new version of the text blast machine worth Php 600,000 was obtained from the suspect.

01:07It is also smaller and can be placed inside a backpack.

01:12It is still being investigated on how the illegal equipment was imported to the country.

01:16DICT concluded that it was not only sold by scammers, but also by political candidates.

01:24The Department of Information and Communications Technology is monitoring.

01:28It is said that the illegal sale of text blast machines is increasing when the election is near.

01:33Because it is being used by candidates.

01:35Aside from campaigning in favor of one candidate, it is also possible to use it in black propaganda.

01:41I need to warn our candidates because we will be monitoring.

01:45So when we monitor text blasters in operation,

01:51we will definitely confiscate that, file appropriate criminal charges.

01:56If you receive a text blast from certain candidates, don't vote for them.

02:02In the midst of strict surveillance for the election,

02:05the DICT issued an ultimatum to the people who belong to the private armed groups in the country.

02:11By March, we should have identified three active private armed groups.

02:19We are closely monitoring the potential private armed groups.

02:23It is said that it is based on the position of any commander who can carry out the task.

02:28Our fear here is that if we allow it to not be leaked,

02:34there is a big possibility that it will be used for harassment, intimidation,

02:40not only to their opponents, but also to voters.
