PH Quadcom calls for action against POGO-linked Chinese acquiring Filipino nationality

The Philippines’ House Quad Committee (Quadcom) is calling for swift action against Chinese nationals accused of acquiring Filipino citizenship in order to buy property and operate businesses in the country.

Quadcom turned over documents on Monday, including those relating to Aedy Tai Yang, who allegedly evaded foreign ownership laws to set up companies such as Empire 999.

Amongst the documents are a birth certificate from 2004, despite Yang claiming to be born in 1983, along with marriage and tax declarations and corporate records.

Documents relating to land deals between Yang and the government of Mexico, Pampanga – including deeds, resolutions and Memorandums of Agreement – were also included.

The exchange is part of Quadcom’s investigation into illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs), drugs, land grabs and extrajudicial killings during the war on drugs led by former president Rodrigo Duterte.
