Hontiveros made the revelation after 12 Filipinos who were working abroad were rescued from a large-scale human trafficking organization that was allegedly based in China and operating in Myanmar. The senator claimed that Filipinos were taken into account for their proficiency in English.
Risa Hontiveros: All-Filipino Scammer Team to Be Prepared By Chinese Mafia In Myanmar
(The important information shared with us by one of the survivors, and should also serve as a warning to our government agencies. To our countrymen here in the Philippines, is that there is a sneaky plan by this Chinese mafia to form an all-Filipino team of con artists in Myanmar and other places because of our English proficiency.)
She continued “This is why I am before you today because this is of extraordinary importance and urgency.
The opposition senator then brought up a potential connection between the mafia and Pharmally, which was being investigated by lawmakers for allegedly selling the government medical supplies at exorbitant prices.
Hontiveros added, the precise location where they were, Shwe Kokko Special Economic Zone or Yatai New City, owned by Yatai International Holdings Group. A hub described as a “safe haven for online gambling and fraud operators” – may possibly have a connection to the Pharmally players.
However, Linconn Ong is linked with a corporation by the name of Yatai International Corporation. Yatai International Corporation and Yatai International Holdings Group, parho lang kaya? What do Pharmally International Holdings, Pharmally Biological, and Pharmally Pharmaceutical stand for? she enquired.
(Are Yatai International Holdings Group and Yatai International Corporation the same thing? Is this comparable to Pharmally Biological Company, Pharmally Pharmaceutical Company, and Pharmally International Holdings?)
Recall that Pharmally’s director is Linconn Ong.
Also, Hontiveros claims that She Zhijang, the owner of Yatai International Holdings Group has numerous business interests in the Philippines.
She emphasized that “these relationships must be made public and further examined.”
