A South Korean fugitive wanted in his country for his alleged involvement in telecommunications fraud was arrested in ParaƱaque City.
Operatives of the Bureau of Immigration (BI) nabbed Park Seungeon, 24, along Bradco Avenue on February 27. He is now under BI custody and is detained at the warden facility in Camp Bagong Diwa, where he will remain pending deportation proceedings.

According to the BI, an Interpol red notice was issued against Park over a year ago after a warrant of arrest was issued against him by the Incheon district court in Seoul where he was indicted for fraud.
Korean authorities said that Park is a member of a telecom fraud syndicate who allegedly offered false low-interest debt consolidation loan to a victim from whom he fraudulent obtained and embezzled money amounting to more than 20.1 million won, or roughly US$14,000.
A check of his travel records showed that Park arrived in the Philippines as a tourist on August 2022 and has not departed since then.

Planetshakers is great in leading the worship of the Lord and their worship music is always powerfully played. It is also wonderful to receive the blessing of the Lord when I personally witnessed Planetshakers co-founder and Senior Pastor Sam Evans lead the prayer. She is truly a prayer powerhouse. That being said, personally attending a Planetshakers worship event is an anointed experience and you will be blessed because the Lord loves the faithful.
Others out there could only see a Planetshakers event as just a music, feel good event. In reality, such an event is always a blessing from the Lord. I know because I personally experienced it all! Be very thankful to God that He is blessing the Philippines a lot again through Planetshakers.
For your refence, posted below are video clips of the September 2022 Planetshakers worship event I attended.
If you are thinking about this Julyās Planetshakers worship events, I encourage you to seek the Lordās Kingdom and praising Him with all your heart and passion. Learn from the holy scriptures belowā¦
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
Ephesians 3:20 (NKJV)
āSo above all, constantly seek Godās kingdom and his righteousness, then all these less important things will be given to you abundantly.ā
Matthew 6:33 (TPT)
Praise the Lord!
