From 8 PM last night to 1 AM this morning, news quickly spread on the social media platform Telegram about a raid at the Century Peak (Xin Ding Cai) building, with numerous police cars seen gathered at the scene. Preliminary investigations revealed that personnel at the scene included the Philippine SWAT, Immigration Bureau, and the Philippine National Police (PNP).
The incident was triggered by a call from an individual on the 23rd floor of the building (the specific reason for the call is still unknown), prompting an urgent response from the police who rushed to the location. After communicating with the building's security and occupants, it was confirmed that the police did not raid the building, and after discussions, they chose to withdraw.
During the police presence, companies on other floors took emergency measures, prohibiting employees from moving around or going out, and turned off the lights at the scene to avoid unnecessary trouble.
According to eyewitnesses at the scene, the police have dispersed the Filipino employees inside the building, leaving only foreign staff. Meanwhile, several police cars remain on standby, and communication between the police and property management appears particularly urgent.
At 1 AM, the Philippine National Police once again surrounded the Xin Ding Cai building, with the situation at the scene being tense. Earlier, the police did not raid following the call, but this action seems to be for further investigation.
Local media have rushed to the scene, and official news is expected to be released soon, with the specific reasons for and further developments of this operation still to be confirmed.
The detailed circumstances of the incident are still being further understood, and PASA continues to monitor the development of the situation.
