Koreans and four Filipinos who were apprehended victimized US citizens and Korean nationals. The warrants
of arrest were for violation of the Access Devices Regulation Act of 1998 issued by Judge Benigno Abila of

known as Seven, was arrested in Barangay Amsic. Koreans Yoensu Yoon, Junguk Lee, and Filipinos Alyssa
Payabyab Lee, Maiko De Luna Natividad, John Patrick Sotto Gonzales and Bong Baja Garcia were arrested in
another operation in Barangay Malabanias. A third operation resulted in the arrest of Koreans Lee Jaehun and
Song Gil Sung also in Barangay Amsic. Seized during the operations were various SIM cards, computers and
laptops, mobile phones, flash drives, bank cards and other items. Service firearms from their security
personnel were also seized. "The arrested persons are engaged in fraudulent activities through hacking and
phishing, victimizing mostly Korean nationals and US citizens who are widely known as online
banking/transaction users. These schemes which constitute economic sabotage are one of the national
security concerns of the PNP CIDG. These suspects have allegedly amassed multi million pesos from illicit
activities exploiting technology advances," said Philippine National Police Chief Gen. Debold Sinas. Those
arrested have been brought to the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group Angeles central field office for
documentation and custody before charges are filed in court.

2. Cybercrime cops nab gamer for molesting teen playmate in QC (October 7, 2022, 1:30 pm) - A man was
arrested for sexually exploiting a 14-year-old girl whom he met while playing an online game, the Philippine
National Police - Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP-ACG) reported on Friday. In a statement, ACG chief Brig. Gen.
Joel Doria said 35-year-old suspect Estelito Gibaga Jr. was nabbed by members of the Quezon City District
Anti-Cybercrime Team (QCDACT) inside a motel located at West Point Street, E. Rodriguez Avenue on
Thursday.Based on the report submitted by QCDACT officer in charge Lt. Michael Bernardo, Gibaga met the
victim, a Grade 9 student, in a public chat of an online game where both of them were players. After a series of
conversations, they shifted the conversation to “Snap Chat” and Facebook Messenger wherein they
subsequently had a "virtual" romantic relationship. During this time, the suspect allegedly sent the victim
obscene photos of “himself” and asked the victim to do the same. Bernardo said on September 6, the mother
of the victim saw her daughter chatting with the suspect in the middle of the night. When she saw the
exchange of conversations between the two, she was shocked and confronted her daughter. This was when
the minor admitted to her that she is being lured by the suspect into doing obscene things. Bernardo said on
September 16, the victim and her mother appeared at the office of QCDACT to lodge a complaint against the
suspect, which resulted in the planning of an entrapment operation to catch him. On Thursday, the mother and
the victim reported back to QCDACT and informed the office that the suspect and the minor would meet up to
watch a movie at a mall.This prompted the Anti-Cybercrime Team to prepare an entrapment operation. “When
the suspect and the victim met at the Gateway entrance, they went to McDonald’s to take out snacks and
headed (to the motel). After entering the room, we lost no time in apprehending the suspect,” Bernardo said.
Doria, meanwhile, advised parents to keep a tight watch on the online activities of their children. "Sexual
predators are everywhere, even on online games,” he said. The suspect is facing charges of violating the
Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act, the Anti-Child Pornography
Act of 2009, and Article 286 (Grave Coercion) of the Revised Penal Code, all in relation to Section 6 of the
Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012. He is currently under the custody of the Quezon City District Anti-
Cybercrime Group for booking procedures before inquest proceedings. (PNA)
