The task force is led by the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) , DOJ, BI, Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC), NBI and the PNP.
Upon the arrival of 36 Chinese nationals in Nanning City, they will be detained for more than a month while being investigated.

Mendoza said the first batch of deportees included 75 Chinese who are now all blacklisted and departed on September 22, 2023, while the second batch are 14 Malaysian nationals.
“Meron silang mga Immigration violation, overstaying, walang working permit so they have to be deported,” Mendoza said.
Mendoza added that the Chinese deportees will board a Royal Air flight Friday night going to Nanning City, China.
In a text message, PAOCC Undersecretary Gilbert Cruz said this is the result of an operation by the inter-agency task force led by PAOCC, DOJ, Bureau of Immigration, CICC, NBI and the PNP against Rivendell Global Gaming Corporation, a POGO site in Pasay City with cancelled permit.
“Since gambling is illegal in China, the fact that they were caught in an illegal gambling site, they are deemed subjects of interests for possible criminal violations,” Cruz said.
