July 10, 2023July 7, 2023carlocarrasco

Recently in the progressive City of Muntinlupa, two women got arrested by police officers at the lobby of a certain hotel in Filinvest City in Alabang for allegedly swindling a local businesswoman, according to a Manila Bulletin news report. As of this writing, the money has yet to be recovered while the third suspect remains at large.

To put things in perspective, posted below is the excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…

Two women were arrested by the police for allegedly swindling a businesswoman of P2.52 million in house rental fees in Muntinlupa.

The suspects, Christine Rose Almoete, 35, and Maria Teresa Loria, 40, were arrested by the Muntinlupa police on July 6 at a hotel lobby in Filinvest City, Barangay Alabang. Another suspect, Ricky Morales, remains at large and is being pursued by authorities.

The two were arrested based on a complaint by businesswoman Diane Grace Sy-Alvarado, 40 years, of Ayala Alabang Village.

According to the police, Sy-Alvarado had been in contact with Loria, who acted as her broker to the house she is presently renting on Batulao Street in Ayala Alabang Village.

Sy-Alvarado decided to transfer to another house also in the same village and asked for Loria’s help. Loria introduced Almoete to the complainant who offered a property allegedly owned by a certain Manuel Palaganas.

They agreed on a monthly rent of ₱180,000. To secure the contract, the complainant was instructed to provide a one-year security deposit amounting to P1,360,000 and a one-year advance payment of P1,160,000.

Sy-Alvarado gave cash amounting to P1.36 million and a bank check worth P1.16 million to the suspects’ colleague, Morales, for a total of P2.52 million.

But when she visited the property on Sarangani Street in Ayala Alabang Village, it turned out that the house was not available for rent.

She asked for help from the village security, which swiftly conducted a follow-up operation leading to the arrest of the suspects.

The transaction between the complainant and the suspects was witnessed by the complainant’s personal assistant, Rannie Pagdanganan.

The arresting officers, Emerson Acusar and Ernesto Obusan, from Bulldog Security Agency, carried out the operation with personnel from the Muntinlupa Police Sub-Station 5 (Ayala Alabang).

The P1.36 million cash and the bank check amounting to P1.16 million were not recovered.

Entertainment joint and other facilities found inside raided site in Las Piñas City

July 7, 2023July 6, 2023carlocarrasco

In relation to the raid of June 26 in Las Piñas City, an entertainment joint and other facilities were discovered inside the building of the affected Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) which GMA Network covered in their recent news story.

To put things in perspective, posted below is the excerpt from the GMA news report. Some parts in boldface…

A Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) firm recently raided in Las Piñas City over alleged human trafficking was found to have its own so-called “entertainment complex” within its premises, John Consulta reported on “24 Oras” on Wednesday.

The Philippine National Police (PNP) showed parts of the raided compound to the media to prove the POGO hub is reportedly involved in other activities apart from online gambling.

“Kaya natin ito ni-raid, kasi meron tayong reason to believe na involved sila sa love scam. Mga investment scam, nag hi-hide sila sa guise ng legitimate POGO,” said PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group spokesperson Police Captain Michelle Sabino.

(We conducted a raid because we have a reason to believe they’re involved in a love scam and investment scam. They are hiding behind the guise of being a legitimate POGO firm.)

Inside the entertainment complex are spacious rooms akin to the VIP rooms of posh nightclubs, where male employees of the offshore firm allegedly take a break.

Also found in the POGO compound are the so-called “romance room” that police believe to be the site of the supposed ”love scam,” the employees’ dormitories, medical and dental clinic, ticketing office, bayad center, grocery shop, seafood market, and food court.

“‘Yung mga Pinoys, they are allowed to go out. ‘Yung mga foreign nationals aren’t allowed to go out, but meron silang incentive, ‘pag maganda performance nila, pwede silang lumabas but may kasama,” said Sabino.

(Filipinos are allowed to go out, the foreign nationals are not. They can go out as an incentive for a good job but they need an escort.)

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: If you are a resident of Las Piñas City, what is your reaction to this development? Are you surprised that an entertainment joint was established inside the site that was raided?

Foreign fugitives among those rescued during the June 26 Las Piñas City raid

July 6, 2023July 5, 2023carlocarrasco

In the city of Las Piñas, controversy regarding the raid of June 26 continues to grow as it was revealed by the local authorities that there were foreign fugitives among the thousands that supposedly got rescued, according to a GMA Network news report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is the excerpt from the GMA news report. Some parts in boldface…

Police found two Taiwanese fugitives among the rescued workers from the raid in a Las Piñas City establishment recently, the Philippine National Police (PNP) – Anti-Cybercrime Group (ACG) said Monday.

Aside from them, the PNP earlier reported that four Chinese fugitives were also discovered from the thousands of workers rescued from the raid.

“During the June 26, 2023 police operation, where thousands of individuals were rescued, four Chinese and two Taiwanese fugitives were discovered,” the ACG said in a statement.

The ACG said the six fugitives have been identified through the help of concerned foreign embassies in the documentation of their respective citizens and cross-matching of their records.

Authorities implemented a search warrant in a compound in Las Piñas over an alleged human trafficking situation.

The police reported that 1,534 Filipinos and 1,190 foreigners were rescued from the raid. According to PNP spokesperson Police Colonel Jean Fajardo, there were 17 foreign nationalities involved.

While over a thousand Filipino workers were safely released and allowed to return to their homes, the foreign nationals have not been released yet as the documentation of the remaining workers is still ongoing, according to Fajardo.

“Law enforcement authorities have gathered personal information for the remaining one thousand-plus foreign nationals, who will be turned over to the Bureau of Immigration for proper disposition and repatriation process,” the ACG said.

On June 30, five Chinese suspects were subjected to inquest proceedings at the Department of Justice in Manila for violation of the Expanded Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2022 and Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.

Meanwhile, the company that was raided, Xinchuang Network Technology, has denied that it is involved in human trafficking.

PNP insists Las Piñas City raid is legitimate as affected company’s lawyers demanded an investigation into alleged abuses committed by law enforcers

July 3, 2023July 2, 2023carlocarrasco

Recently in the city of Las Piñas, the June 26 evening raid that resulted in the so-called rescue of more than 2,700 people got disputed as the affected company’s lawyers demanded an investigation over the alleged abuses committed by police officers, according to a Philippie News Agency (PNA) news article. The Philippine National Police (PNP) insists that the operation is legitimate.

To put things in perspective, posted below is the excerpt from the PNA news report. Some parts in boldface…

The Philippine National Police (PNP) on Friday maintained that its operation against a suspected illegal Philippine offshore gaming operator (POGO) in Las Piñas early this week is legitimate as it refuted claims of abuse and manhandling of workers rescued from the establishment.

In a statement, PNP Public Information Office chief Brig. Gen. Redrico Maranan said the 2,714 workers earlier taken into custody during the operation would be released once they have completed their profiling works.

He also denied that human rights violations were committed by the police when the operation was carried out and assured that the police force would conduct a full and impartial investigation into the said operation.

The PNP’s statement came after the legal representatives of the firm Xinchuang Network Technology, Inc., demanded an investigation into alleged abuses committed by the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) during the operation at Hong Tai Compound located at No. 501 Alabang-Zapote Road in Barangay Almanza Uno on Tuesday morning.

Vargas Law Office representative lawyer Ananias Christian Vargas has requested NCRPO chief Maj. Gen. Edgar Alan Okubo, PNP-Anti Cybercrime Group director Brig. Gen. Sidney Hernia, PNP Directorate for Intelligence chief, Maj. Gen. Jon Arnaldo and Bureau of Immigration Commissioner Norman Tansingco to investigate.

“As you may very well recall, in the late evening of 26 June 2023, 11:30 p.m. to be specific, the NCRPO Joint Police Task Force, led by Deputy Regional Director for Operations Brig. Gen Jack Wanky and Anti-Cybercrime Group Deputy for Operations Col. Villamor Tuliao implemented Search Warrant Nos. SW-LP23-007, SW-23-14 and SW-23-016, all dated 26 June 2023, issued by the Regional Trial Court of Las Piñas City, Office of the Executive Judge, which you conveniently couched as ‘Rescue Operation’ in Hong Tai Compound located at No. 501 Alabang-Zapote Road Almanza Uno, Las Piñas City, during which you and your Task Force control of the entire Hong Tai Compound, and even converted one of the structures as a command post,” Vargas said in the letter dated June 30.

He claimed the firm as well as its foreign and local workers were duly documented.

“The company and the legitimate workers all abide by the legal requirements,” Vargas said adding that all the documents covering the operations of the company had been in the vault seized during the raid.

Reports earlier said the PNP-ACG, backed up by several NCRPO uniformed personnel, conducted the operations. The company also questioned the conduct of the operation the police described as anti-human trafficking-related.

Vargas also claimed that as of this time, the NCRPO has not allowed the persons in the compound to leave despite its inability to file the necessary cases against these Filipino and foreign individuals.

UN officials arrested by Israeli police for smuggling liquid cocaine!

June 29, 2023June 27, 2023carlocarrasco

I want to emphasize this to all of you reading this – I have no trust in the United Nations (UN) not just because it is a truly corrupted organization but also because it is inherently wicked deep within. The evil of the UN is so deeply rooted, it has formed unions with other evil forces from around the world. You can read more by clicking here.

Very recently, there were three officials of the United Nations who got apprehended by Israeli police when they were caught smuggling liquid cocaine (disguised as perfume kits) into the nation, according to a news report by The Jerusalem Post. This is not just a random search done by the authorities in Israel. It was the result of a high-stakes operation!

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from The Jerusalem Post report. Some parts in boldface…

An attempt to smuggle liquid cocaine disguised as perfume kits was halted on Sunday by Israel Police and Tax Authority inspectors from the Jordan River Customs House and Jordan River Border Crossing.

Three UN employees serving on the Syrian border were apprehended by the Northern District Police’s Yagal Unit on suspicion of involvement in the smuggling operation.

The UN employees arrived at the border crossing between Jordan and Israel during the day. Routine checks by the Tax Authority and Airport Authority personnel at the border crossing raised suspicions regarding the perfume kits brought by the passengers, which included bottles containing liquid.

The kits were subjected to thorough examination, including the use of a sniffer dog. The investigation revealed reasonable suspicion that the substance was liquid cocaine, leading the UN employees to be taken into custody for further questioning by the Northern District Police.

Indeed, the unidentified suspects employed by the UN violated Israel’s rules. One has to wonder why did those United Nations officials attempt to smuggle illegal substances into Israel at all. Could they have been working with some smuggling ring watching from a distance? The unidentified suspects are being questioned as of this writing.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think the arrested United Nations officials could have been ordered by a UN superior to smuggle liquid cocaine into Israel? Could the UN itself been conspiring with smugglers, terrorists and criminal organizations?

To put things in perspective, posted below is the excerpt from the Inquirer news report. Some parts in boldface…

As many as 2,714 people were rescued by police following a raid on a Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (Pogo) firm in Las Piñas City early Tuesday morning.

The NCRPO Joint Police Task Force, led by Deputy Regional Director for Operations Brig. Gen. Jack Wanky and Anti-Cybercrime Group Deputy Director for Operations, Col. Villammor Tuliao, executed search and seizure warrants for computer data at a pogo hub on 501 Alabang-Zapote Road, Almanza Uno, Las Piñas City. According to the National Capital Region Police Office, the operation occurred at about midnight.

Police identified the owner, maintainer, facilitator, and manager of Xinchuang Network Technology Inc., formerly known as “Hong Tai,” as follows: Quiha Lui, Liangfei Chen, Jimmy Lin, and Abbey Ng.

Meanwhile, Xinchuang Network Technology Inc. incorporators include Danica Andres Mensah, Oliver Ong, Divina Trillanes, and Daisy Vidal Cidro.

The warrants were served for the alleged violation of the Expanded Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act. Initial data from NCRPO showed that 1,528 Filipino workers were rescued.

Meanwhile, 600 of the rescued are from China, 183 from Vietnam, 137 from Indonesia, 134 from Malaysia, 81 from Thailand, 21 from Taiwan, seven from Nigeria, five from Singapore, five from Myanmar, four from Yemen, two from Pakistan, two from Africa, one from India, one from Somalia, one from Sudan, one from Cameroon, and one from Iran.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: If you are a resident of Las Piñas City, what is your reaction to this development? Are you concerned that other POGOs located within your city could possibly be having abused workers kept secret from the public? Do you think that POGOs are somehow connected with local crime incidents?

Col. Jaime Santos, city police chief, said the mother of the suspect reported the discovery of the decomposing body of the victim after smelling a foul odor inside the washing machine.

Santos said the mother of the suspect claimed the child had an accident and the suspect, who was frightened and in panic after seeing the boy was no longer moving, placed the child inside the washing machine.

He said the family of the victim claimed the child was left in the custody of his uncle on May 26. The police chief added that the child was reported missing by his father at around 4:00 p.m.

The victim’s father told the police that the child was last seen playing with his cousins.

The family of the child claimed the death of the victim was not an accident after the suspect made a post on his social medial account, implying that he allegedly killed his nephew. The post was later deleted.

The police is currently conducting an investigation and waiting for the autopsy report to determine whether foul play was behind the death of the child.
