The POGO employees traveled in convoys that the nation would later find out included state security forces.

On May 18 this year, the attention of the Philippine National Police was drawn to the illegal escort services following a fight involving two such security forces at the exclusive Ayala-Alabang Village in Muntinlupa.

Upon investigation, it turned out that a team of the PNP's elite Special Action Force were providing private security services to a Chinese national believed to be involved in POGOs.
