FEATURED STORIES

Three of the dead Chinese nationals were found in Porac town. 

A raid was conducted in a  Philippine offshore gaming operator (Pogo) complex in Porac last month, where 186 individuals were rescued amid reports it was being used for human trafficking, with some of the foreign employees allegedly tortured or sold for sex.

But Dimaandal said it could not be determined if the deaths of three Chinese victims were Pogo-related.

“Actually, hindi po natin masabi dahil tulad po nitong tatlong Chinese victim, based sa backtracking sa CCTV  nanggaling po sila sa Metro Manila ang sasakyan, at dito nagbarilan at dito natagpuan ang tatlong bangkay,” Dimaandal said.

(Actually, we could not yet say because, like the three Chinese victims, based on the backtracking of CCTV footage, their vehicle came from Metro Manila, a firefight happened here, and their bodies were also found here.)

Aside from this incident, the bodies of kidnapped Chinese nationals were recently found in other parts of the country.
