APAT NA CHINESE NATIONALS SA ANTI-POGO CYBER FRAUD RAID, DINAKIP NG BI

INARESTO ng Bureau of Immigration (BI) ang apat na Chinese nationals na diumano ay sangkot sa cyber fraud activities sa isang operasyon na nakatuon sa iligal na Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO)-related activities sa Muntinlupa City nitong September 4, 2026.

Ayon sa ulat mula kay BI- Fugitive Search Unit Chief Rendel Ryan Sy, ang nasabing operation “stemmed from intelligence monitoring conducted by the BI on reports of alleged continuing POGO-related operations at Montillano Street, Alabang, Muntinlupa City.”

Ani Sy, ang apat na Chinese nationals ay nahuli sa akto habang nagsasagawa ng cyber fraud activities.

Sila ay kinilalang sina Qiao Zhong, 30, undocumented foreign national; Tang Ke, 31, overstaying foreign national na walang proper visa; Liu Peng, 35, overstaying foreign national; at Zhang Caiyu, 42, overstaying foreign national na may blacklist order at kinilala bilang dating POGO worker.

Inihayag naman ni BI deputy spokesman Melvin Mabulac na “the bureau will remain relentless in enforcing our immigration laws and in supporting the government’s policy to shut down illegal POGO operations.”

Nananawagan din si Mabulac sa publiko na i-report sa BI ang anumang impormasyon o observations ukol sa mga banyagang nagsasagawa ng iligal na aktibidad sa bansa.

Maari umano itong iparating sa pamamagitan ng BI hotline sa (+632) 8-465-2400, o sa email sa immigPH@immigration.gov.ph and xinfo@immigration.gov.ph.

“Any nformation from the public remains vital in helping authorities identify and address illegal activities involving foreign nationals and in maintaining the integrity of the country’s immigration and border security system,” ani Mabulac. (JERRY S. TAN)
