Avia International Club is a leisure club being linked to the Yatai Spa, which has raised suspicions it is being used for espionage. In Newport City in Pasay, there is a spa that offers a buffet, which Philippine undercover informants have been monitoring. The spa in Newport has markings of Yatai.
This Yatai group is what global operatives have identified as being behind alleged crimes like human trafficking and cyber fraud. She, who also holds a Cambodian citizenship, has confessed to being a spy for China, and has accused Alice Guo of being a fellow spy, which the disgraced former Bamban, Tarlac mayor has denied. Its main business is to provide leisure spaces to high-rollers who are part of a junket.
Hontiveros also questioned why the 9 Dynasty junket group listed Ong as the operator, and Avia as the address. President, nagdadala lang siya ng player. Hontiveros said Ong did not disclose in his citizenship applications his ties to Avia and 9 Dynasty. It also worried Hontiveros that Yatai advertises Avia as its subsidiary. Ong likewise declared himself a Filipino when they registered Avia in the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Tolentino described this as unintentional omission. Both facts cannot be true at the same time. Ong became more suspect to Hontiveros because of a photo showing him with Duanren Wu, the owner of the real estate company in Porac, Pampanga that hosted the alleged POGO scam farm raided in Wu is evading criminal investigations here. This network eventually connects to Michael Yang, former presidential economic adviser to Rodrigo Duterte. Tony Yang attended the Senate hearing on November 26 and said through an interpreter that he does not know She and that he had no idea how his information ended up with She.
