According to the report of RH Noche Cacas, the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) will bring the deportees back to their home country, Shanghai, China.
PAOCC Usec. Gilbert Cruz noted that the third batch follows the 14 Malaysians and 44 Vietnamese who were already deported.
"Sila ay ipapa-deport dahil sa violation sa condition ng stay nila. Wala silang ipinakitang pasaporte at dokumento," Cruz said.
It can be recalled that in March 2024, a POGO hub named Zun Yuan was raided in Bamban, Tarlac for allegedly conducting illegal activities such as scamming, human trafficking, and illegal detention.
A swimming pool, several tunnels, and luxury cars were among the discoveries inside the POGO firm.
Recently, Bamban Mayor Alice Guo was invited to a senate hearing to investigate her connection to the raided POGO hub in her town after learning that the billing statement from Tarlac II Electric Cooperative (Tarel Co.) Inc. and the seized vehicle were under her name.
She was also questioned about her nationality.
