The House Quad Committee has submitted several key documents to the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) regarding illegal POGO operations, aiming to file a forfeiture case against POGO bosses who illegally acquired assets in the country.

“We urged the OSG to expedite its review and initiate civil forfeiture proceedings in coordination with other government agencies,” stated House Committees on Dangerous Drugs and Quad Committee Overall Chairman Surigao Rep. Robert Ace Barbers.

The case centers specifically on Aedy Tai Yang, a Chinese national who falsified his Filipino citizenship to establish a business and purchase assets in the country.

Included in the documents presented by the Quad Committee are questionable land deals between Yang and the local government of Mexico, Pampanga, which encompass Memorandums of Agreement, Deeds of Sale, and municipal resolutions.

The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) previously confirmed that several parcels of land sold to Yang did not undergo the legal conversion process.

In a letter from the Quad Committee to Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra, they requested immediate action on the case, emphasizing its significance for national security.

“These actions are blatant violations of our laws and call for immediate executive intervention,” the letter stated.

Among those who received the documents submitted by the Quad Committee were Assistant Solicitor Generals Hermes Ocampo and Gilbert Medrano, along with Senior State Solicitor Neil Lorenzo.

The Quad Committee hopes for the OSG to coordinate with the Land Registration Authority, Securities and Exchange Commission, Philippine Statistics Authority, DAR, Bureau of Internal Revenue, and Department of Justice for their investigation.

“We trust your office will prioritize this matter and act swiftly to protect the integrity of our nation’s legal and economic systems,” asserted the Quad Committee.
