Manila Bulletin

May 24, 2025

A multi-agency task force has been created to look into reports of suspected online scam operations happening here.

- By CALVIN CORDOVA

The task force is composed of the Business Permit and Licensing Office, Philippine National Police (PNP), National Bureau of Investigation, Department of Information and Communications Technology, and the Office of the City Administrator.

Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia on Thursday, May 22, said the creation of a special task force will look into a suspected scam hub operating in the city, following a viral video exposé published by a vlogger known only as “MRWN.”

The exposé released on May 19 showed behind-the-scenes footage that allegedly involved an organized online fraud operation housed in what appeared to be an office facility here.
