Senate to probe Tony Yang’s business interests, including a POGO, in Mindanao
Senator Risa Hontiveros says the upper house will investigate how Tony Yang, also known as Antonio Maestrado Lim in business circles, was able to operate as a legitimate businessman who made friends with local traders, government officials, and the police.
Senator Risa Hontiveros said the Senate investigation on Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs) would shift this week to this city and Misamis Oriental province where Tony Yang, elder brother of Michael Yang, has extensive business interests, including an P800-million steel manufacturing plant at a 3,000-hectare government-owned industrial estate.
Hontiveros said they would investigate how Tony Yang, also known as Antonio Maestrado Lim in business circles here, was able to operate masquerading as a legitimate businessman who made friends with local traders, government officials, and the police.
She said Yang, who also allegedly operated a POGO in an exclusive subdivision here, is linked to the controversial Pharmally Pharmaceutical Corporation that became involved in a multi-billion pesos scandal over allegations of overpriced medical supplies during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Yang is a colorful character. His name also cropped up during our investigation on Pharmally,” Hontiveros told reporters here on Monday, September 23 during the launch of the political campaign of former senators Bam Aquino, Kiko Pangilinan, and human rights lawyer Chel Diokno.
Yang, elder brother of Michael Yang, the former Presidential Economic Adviser of former President Rodrigo Duterte, was arrested at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) right after his arrival from Cagayan de Oro last September 19.
Hontiveros said her staff managed to get pictures of Yang with local officials, businessman and police, including photos which show that he went about presenting himself as a legitimate businessman in Cagayan de Oro.
His arrest coincided with congressional hearings about allegations that drugs and contraband were moving through the Philippine Sanjia Steel Corporation, which also operates a 20-hectare port in the Philippine Veterans Investment Development Corporation in Misamis Oriental.
Among the officials who posed with Yang are Cagayan de Oro Mayor Rolando Uy and Philippine National Police (PNP) Region 10 Director Brigadier General Ricardo Layug. Both have denied any business dealings with Yang, in separate interviews with local radio stations.
The staff of Senator Hontiveros also got copies of six gun permits from the PNP F*rearms and Expl*sives Unit in Camp Alagar in this city.
Honteveros said they will not invite any official from Cagayan de Oro regarding their connection with Yang.
The real name of Tony Yang or Antonio Maestrado Lim is Yang Jian Xin, a Chinese. He was arr*sted last Thursday for being an undesirable alien.
Sta. Rosa, Laguna Representative Dan Fernandez said Yang also operates a POGO in Alwana Subdivision, a high-end gated subdivision in Barangay Cugman this city.
Cagayan de Oro Councilor Romeo said he sponsored a resolution in 2022 calling for a police inspection of the facility but nothing came out of it.
