Parañaque City Scam Hub Busted By NBI, 17 Suspects Arrested

Parañaque City Scam Hub Busted By NBI, 17 Suspects Arrested

carlocarrasco

Recently in the City of Parañaque, elements of the National Bureau of Investigation’s (NBI) Special Action Unit (SAU)  raided and dismantled an illegal operation that used artificial intelligence (AI) tools, cryptocurrency schemes and other means to victimize people online, according to a news report by GMA News.

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

Authorities have dismantled an alleged online scamming operation in Parañaque City that combined romance fraud, cryptocurrency schemes, and artificial intelligence tools to target foreign victims.

In a statement, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) said operatives from its Special Action Unit (SAU) conducted a raid on May 15 at a residence after securing a warrant to search and seize computer data from a Parañaque City court.

Seventeen individuals were arrested during the operation – including 14 Filipinos and three foreign nationals – who were allegedly caught in the act of operating computer systems and communication devices linked to the scheme.

Investigators said the suspects were running a call center-like setup on the third floor of the property, equipped with multiple computers, mobile phones, and internet routers believed to be used in online fraud activities.

Authorities also discovered a separate room allegedly used for “models,” where a computer installed with an application capable of AI-based face swapping or deepfake technology was found.

Initial forensic findings by the NBI’s Digital Forensic Laboratory showed that the group allegedly targeted victims abroad, particularly in the United States, Bangkok, and parts of Europe.

The group used dating apps and messaging platforms such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and Grindr.

The scheme reportedly involved creating fake identities, initiating romantic relationships, and using scripted conversations to build trust before convincing victims to send money.

Investigators said victims were later directed to transfer funds through cryptocurrency wallets linked to a suspected fraudulent investment platform identified as “cexonline.uk,” a method believed to help obscure financial trails.

The arrested individuals were brought to the NBI-SAU office for documentation and were presented for inquest proceedings on May 16 before prosecutors from the Department of Justice.

They may face charges for violation of Republic Act 10175 or the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What do you think about this recent development? If you are a resident of Parañaque, do you believe that there could be more scam hubs operating secretly within the city? What do you think makes Parañaque an ideal city for criminals and scammers to set up illegal operations targeting people online? Who do you think is the mastermind of these scam hubs in Parañaque?

Flood-prone Areas Of Parañaque City Inspected By DPWH Secretary

Flood-prone Areas Of Parañaque City Inspected By DPWH Secretary

carlocarrasco

Remember how terrible flooding was in Parañaque City last year? A lot of locals do not want such cases of flood to happen again and already there are those who said that Parañaque should be renamed as Baharañaque. In a serious attempt to prepare the city for the incoming rainy season, Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Vince Dizon personally inspected the flood-prone areas of the city and he was accompanied by 2nd District Representative Brian Yamsuan, according to a news report by The Daily Tribune.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of The Daily Tribune. Some parts in boldface…

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is partnering with local lawmakers to fast-track long-term drainage upgrades and dredging operations along critical creeks to resolve severe flooding that frequently paralyzes major thoroughfares in the city.

DPWH Secretary Vince Dizon and Parañaque Representative Brian Yamsuan on Monday conducted a joint inspection of flood-prone areas, specifically targeting Dr. A. Santos Avenue in front of the Manila Memorial Park.

During heavy downpours, floodwaters in the area can rise up to four meters high, blocking access to the Skyway and the South Luzon Expressway, which triggers massive traffic gridlock.

Dizon said a key immediate solution is to dredge Villanueva Creek, which runs inside the cemetery, to allow floodwaters to flow freely into (Don Galo) Creek. Dongalo Creek will also undergo extensive dredging to clear accumulated garbage and silt.

The broader infrastructure plan includes a major overhaul of the Parañaque drainage system, which will replace old, narrowed concrete pipes with high-capacity drainage lines.

Officials cited during the inspection that uneven road elevation along Dr. A. Santos Avenue — formerly known as Sucat Road — compounds the problem. Low-lying sections of the highway trap rainwater, while clogged roadside canals slow down the rate at which the water recedes.

Dizon and Yamsuan also inspected the (Don Galo) River, another source of flooding that sends water rushing four to five feet high into nearby residential areas, severely affecting Barangay Santo Niño, Moonwalk Subdivision, and portions of Multinational Village.

As a quick-fix solution before the onset of the rainy season, Dizon recommended constructing temporary water detention basins beneath local basketball courts to contain excess runoff before pumping it out toward waterways leading to Manila Bay.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What do you think about this recent development? If you are a resident of Parañaque, were you or your neighbors badly affected by the flood that happened in the city in 2025? Do you think flooding in Parañaque has worsened over the past ten years? Do you wish the City Government officials would do much more to prevent flooding from happening again?

Four Suspects Arrested In Parañaque City For Cable Theft And Illegal Tapping

carlocarrasco

Recently in the City of Parañaque, local police officers apprehended four suspects for the theft of communication cables and illegal tapping, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.  

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

Police arrested four men allegedly involved in illegal tapping and theft of communication cables during an early morning police operation in Parañaque City on Friday, May 16.

The suspects were identified only as Rommel, 28; John Zedrick, 18; John Rose, 27; and Rodel, 32.

Personnel of Parañaque City Police Substation 5 were conducting routine patrol operations at around 4 a.m. along Dr. Arcadio Santos Avenue in BF Homes when they spotted three men opening a Philippine Long Distance Telephone (PLDT) manhole.

Police said one of the suspects entered the manhole and later emerged carrying copper cables, while the other two acted as lookouts.

Upon noticing the approaching policemen, the suspects fled aboard an aluminum van. A brief chase followed, leading to the arrest of three suspects in the Bicutan area.

Authorities said a fourth suspect later appeared at the police substation and claimed ownership of the getaway vehicle. He was positively identified by police officers as the group’s alleged backup driver and was also placed under arrest.

Recovered from the suspects were two pieces of PLDT copper cable, a bolt cutter, a chain, a steel bar, a metal saw, four improvised steel hooks, and various construction gear allegedly used as disguises during the operation. Police also impounded a white Foton Tornado van believed to have been used in the crime.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What do you think about this recent development? If you are a resident of Parañaque, who do you think is the mastermind behind the illegal tapping and the theft of cables? Do you think Parañaque will be a hot spot for cable thieves?

Parañaque Joint Busted By NBI, 7 Suspects Arrested And 12 Victims Rescued

Parañaque Joint Busted By NBI, 7 Suspects Arrested And 12 Victims Rescued

carlocarrasco

Recently in the City of Parañaque, elements of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) successfully organized an operation that targeted a local joint resulting in the rescue of twelve victims (including minors) and the apprehension of seven suspects over trafficking violation, according to a news article by the Philippine News Agency (PNA).

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

The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) arrested seven individuals and rescued 12 trafficked victims, including several minors and an infant, during a series of entrapment and rescue operations on May 7 in Parañaque City for violation of Republic Act 10364, otherwise known as the Expanded Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2012.

The operation, conducted by the NBI Homicide Division, stemmed from intelligence information provided by a non-governmental organization (NGO) regarding the activities of a suspected human trafficking group engaged in the sexual exploitation of minors under the guise of spa and wellness services.

The group allegedly offered victims to clients as “therapists” for so-called “nuru massage” and “lingam massage,” which, upon investigation, were found to involve sexual services in exchange for money.

Acting on the report, NBI-Homicide Division agents conducted extensive surveillance and monitoring and coordinated online with the subjects through social media platforms.

“This led operatives to an establishment identified as ‘Rainbow Spa,’ where undercover agents confirmed that illegal activities were being conducted there,” the NBI said in a news release Sunday.

During the operation, undercover agents were offered the services of two female therapists and were subsequently brought to a nearby apartelle.

After the marked money was handed over as payment, the operatives arrested the suspects, including two male individuals responsible for transporting and delivering the minor victims to clients.

The NBI said further investigation revealed that several victims and suspects were staying together in a residence located in Fortunata Village, Parañaque City.

The operation further uncovered that two minor victims were still being transported to service clients in separate locations.

“Follow-up investigation identified the alleged operators of the trafficking syndicate, a couple residing in Fourth Estate, Brgy. San Antonio, Parañaque City. A subsequent operation led to their successful arrest,” the NBI said.

“Simultaneously, another team of NBI-Homicide Division agents conducted a rescue operation at a motel in Pasay City, where a minor victim was rescued, and her male client was arrested. Additionally, another female victim was recovered during an inventory and verification operation conducted at the Fortunata Village residence,” it added.

The arrested subjects have already been inquested before the appropriate prosecutorial office for violations of RA 10364 and other applicable laws.

NBI Director Melvin A. Matibag commended the operatives of the NBI-Homicide Division for the successful conduct of the operations and reaffirmed the Bureau’s unwavering commitment against human trafficking and the sexual exploitation of children.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What do you think about this recent development? If you are a resident of Parañaque, are you concerned that illegal sexual operations could still be operating within the city in great numbers? Do you think there could be a few thousand more victims of human trafficking trapped in Parañaque?

National Bilibid Prison Development Plan Tackled By Muntinlupa City Councilors

National Bilibid Prison Development Plan Tackled By Muntinlupa City Councilors

carlocarrasco

Recently in the progressive city of Muntinlupa, the development plan of the National Bilibid Prison was tackled by the City Council in the form of a public hearing with several stakeholders present, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

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

The Muntinlupa City Council held a public hearing to address the impending development of the vast land of the New Bilibid Prison (NBP), which is expected to affect residents.

The NBP, located in Barangay Poblacion, is under the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) and houses prison facilities.

The NBP Reservation, which refers to the surrounding areas outside the prison facilities, contains houses of BuCor employees, public school teachers, and residents, as well as public schools and churches.

The City Council’s Committee of the Whole, with all councilors present, conducted the public hearing together with presidents of resident associations and informal settlers, representatives from the Commission on Human Rights, Presidential Commission for the Urban Poor, Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development, and BuCor.

Councilor Raul Corro, majority floor leader, said the entire City Council held the hearing “due to the importance of the subject matter: the Bucor proposed master development plan for NBP.”

He explained that the hearing discussed the “concern of informal settlers on their relocation and the legal requirements to be met to have a relocation plan that meets the minimum livable requirements such as availability of basic services like water, power and other amenities.”

Corro emphasized that the city government is entitled to its equitable share in the development of any national wealth such as land under its jurisdiction, and should be informed about the kind of development to be implemented in NBP. 

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? If you are a resident of Muntinlupa City, what is your opinion about the planned development of the New Bilibid Prison which has a vast land that includes residences, communities, schools and churches already? What is the best place the City Government can find as the target destination of relocation the informal settlers?

Four Suspects Arrested In Parañaque City For Stealing Telecom Cables

Four Suspects Arrested In Parañaque City For Stealing Telecom Cables

carlocarrasco

Recently in the City of Parañaque, local police officers arrested four suspects over the illegal cutting and the attempt to steal underground copper telecommunications cables, according to a news report by The Daily Tribune.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of The Daily Tribune. Some parts in boldface…

National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) Chief P/Maj. Gen. Anthony Aberin commended the swift coordination between security personnel and responding police officers, which resulted in the prompt arrest of four adult male suspects and the recovery of stolen telecommunications equipment.

The incident occurred at around 4:20 a.m. on Friday, 24 April, in front of a gasoline station along Doña Soledad Avenue corner West Service Road, Barangay Don Bosco.

While conducting routine area monitoring, arresting officers intercepted the suspects in the act of illegally cutting and taking underground copper telecommunications cables.

Initial reports showed that security personnel in the area immediately alerted authorities upon noticing the suspicious activity, prompting a coordinated swift police response that resulted in the on-site arrest of four individuals. However, nine of their cohorts managed to flee and are currently the subject of follow-up operations.

Recovered from the scene were several pieces of cut underground copper cable wires measuring approximately two meters in length, with an estimated amount of P262,006.63.

Seized were tools and equipment used in the illegal activity, including a bolt cutter, an improvised steel hook, a white closed van and a motorcycle believed to have been used in the operation.

The suspects are now under police custody and are facing charges for violation of Section 4(d) of Republic Act 10515, also known as the Anti-Cable Television and Cable Internet Tapping Act of 2013.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What do you think about this recent development? If you are a resident of Parañaque, did the cutting of the telecommunication cables affect your household somehow? Do you think Parañaque City is becoming a new hot spot for the stealing of telecommunication cables?
