Quirino - one of the toughest and most dangerous neighborhoods in the world. The territory of the Batanga City Jail gang. An area that even the residents of Quezon City avoid like the plague. For the past twenty years, Gang Boss Jo-Jo has been ruling over Quirino, fiercely defending it against its enemies. In order to protect his area as much as possible, Jo-Jo has divided the no-go zone into nine sections. Each of his minions controls one of them. Together with four to six henchmen each. And every gang member is specialized. In robbery, burglary, or drug dealing. The driving force behind the gangs of Manila? Shabu - also known as crystal meth. Almost everyone in Quirino is addicted to the adrenaline-pumping drug. The Twenty-one-year-old prostitute Maevilyn grew up in Quirino and is an addict for four years. She sells her body to anyone who can give her money or drugs. Like dealer Rodney. He is Gang Boss Jojo’s right-hand man and responsible for the gangs prospering drug business Rodney is considered to be especially ruthless and brutal. The police in and around Quirino are corrupt so the gang doesn't' have too much to worry about. But there is somebody else, who is hunting down the gang bosses like Jo-Jo: Peter is the most successful bounty hunter in the Philippines. Always on the lookout for criminals that could bring in some cash. Available Worldwide except for Germany, Spain, Norway, Philippines #freedocumentary
Let me be clear, my intent isn’t to rip apart and put down this production or those behind the making of it. Rather than challenging the quality of the film or that of the film-makers, what I am questioning is the classification of this production as “documentary. I am a Filipino-American, fluent in English and Tagalog, and found myself to have an interesting perspective with this particular episode. Many times, there is no direct translation from Tagalog to English and a rough translation is as good as it’s going to get. (For example, you know that weird eye gunk we all have had to deal with, typically when first waking up. Well those eye boogers or crusteez or whatever we call them has a specific name in Tagalog, muta.) Back to my point, while listening to what was actually being said in Tagalog and comparing it to the English translation, what was presented wasn’t a rough translation by any stretch but a complete fictitious yet creative means to push a story or message convenient to the film-maker. Changing the words of the people you are highlighting in your documentary made me lose all faith of credibility in authenticity. Where do you draw the line of what is real and what you the film-maker imagined and want to be real. Is that really what they said? Are those really people from that area and not actors? Do these problems really exist? So not going down that wormhole, I hope you see my point. Life in the Philippines is definitely hard, different, and interesting enough without having to jazz things up. Just tell it how it is. So, I commend you on your Fiction Docudrama, and if that was the production type you were aiming for, then label it that way. Maraming salamat po sa mga nagbabasa yun komento ko. Sorry na lang masiadong mahaba sya. Mabuhay pilipinas…kasama din yun mga adik!
WTF dude. I totally agree. I’m pure Tagalog and have grown up in NYC. The Translation is pure BS and a total misrepresentation of what was said. I’ve stopped watching after 10min. What a BS show. The people who made this show totally went there to exploit and didn’t even give those people the proper respect for the sake of RUclips views. Shameful.
@@elmerparedes1098 I don’t agree with you completely. Probably the production team were also be exploited and cheated into believing that they are real by local partner production company, or the media production team and the Filipino connection company were in conspiracy to do that.
@Tomoee I know i know this kind of exposure can only lead to a bad path and reduced tourism, but i stand with the Philippines and i hope i can visit Manila and Marawi one day.
The gritty and intense world of Quirino comes to life in this documentary, offering a glimpse into the challenges and dynamics of this tough neighborhood. Jo-Jo's enduring leadership reveals the complexities within. Thanks for shedding light on this compelling story.
The informant doesn't want to be recognized ... That's why we blurred out his face when we showed you the front door of his house and the tattoos on his arms. 17:56
Good to see you on here. Love your channel. But yea, I was thinking the same exact thing when I saw that. All staged. However, still good entertainment
*Correct, so it makes one wonder, what's the point in having that informant's face blurred out, when clearly, someone will recognize his big bright hard to miss, yellow gate, not to mention his Tatoos*
I grew up in quirino district of quezon city, but moved out to paranaque from there in 1974. Used to be a safe quiet place to live , go to school rear a family. I learned that most of the tough guys in our neighborhood are dead.
@@easterbunnymomson130 the children get the worst of it, do to the sex trade out there, they love having sex with children, its ell known that pedophilia runs rampant in that country. the only time id say " let them kill each other " raping children is the lowest of the low, Jesus said it best in the book of Matthew GOD Bless to you and your families and thank GOD that you were born where you were, because that could be you or I being interviewed in some slum.
Yeah well by now he likely doesn’t have any resources to go into rehab now does he? And you’re hooked instantly so there just isn’t another option to continue: but despite that he wants his kid to have rice. So he needs money for crack and money to buy food for his kids.

There is a comment here from someone who speaks the language heard in this video, claiming that the translations are very heavily altered for the sake of a more interesting gang narrative. Multiple people in that comment thread were backing up their claims. At the same time, none of them seemed to want to provide an example of these supposed mistranslations so maybe take it with a grain of salt
where there is poverty there is crime. so sad to see my people going through life this way. sleeping on cardboard in makeshift homes. I am so thankful for what I have in life, its not much but its a whole other world most of my people will never experience. Humbling to see this doc. reminding us no matter what we have someone always has less. I hope we can towards a better tomorrow in the Philippines.

The narrator (just learned that his name is Tom Zahner ) does an excellent job with his deep husky voice. As the saying goes, "Give me my flowers when I can still smell them", so good job sir and the entire Free Documentary Team.
@@josephwilson5509 Well I don't know the personal background of the 30 plus people he has murdered / killed, so I dunno. But it's clear he has a cluster B personality disorder. Plenty of people live there not everybody does what he does
Man seeing that girl with her children at minute 20 broke my heart. I wish she can get over her addiction and be able to turn her life to a better life
How?? She probably cannot get a decent job. How can any of them turn their lives around for the better if there are no real opportunities??!! Even the guy at the end said that he once tried it and it got him nowhere but back to being arrested & beaten by police :'(
She'd rather spend money on meth than use that money to send her kids to school. I do have sympathy for her situation, but she is also selfish. She ran away with her kids, when they could have been with their father and his family.
She had plenty of options like giving her kids to their father for a better life. No kid deserves that and she deliberately set them up to live like that because of her selfishness
Yes. When I saw the prostitutes two children sleeping and holding each other it made me wonder how much of her profession they’ve had to witness. Later in the video, it does seem like her tricks are performed elsewhere.
I am so thankful for what I have in life, its not much but its a whole other world most of my people will never experience. Humbling to see this doc. reminding us no matter what we have someone always has less. I hope we can towards a better tomorrow in the Philippines.
Yup, what's also funny, these bangers could rob and shoot you dead any day without hesitation, like it's just another Tuesday. Killed by a funny gangster with a funny name, riding a funny moped. Ain't that amusing?
I like to watch these whenever I am in a bad mood or down on life. It makes me realize how good I truly have it compared to people in these areas and/or in these prisons.
I feel that’s what Free Documentary’s thesis reaction is usually, from the noGo zones to their deadliest roads . Really puts you in check with your “first world problems”.
Yup i would have made copies since they doped out.. Then put someone elses name on it as the key holder whoever im doped out on and spooking then bounty hunter can have a name n 31 kills haha
The narrator on these docs constantly contradicts himself and tries to make things sound more impressive and well organized than they really are. It's really distracting.
@@recinese It's all about chances.... you might get struck by lightning too but you still go outside. The fact that the father's parents weren't accepting of her ways seems like it MIGHT have been a better place for them. Unless they were abusers or only eating every few days it couldn't get much worse but, she would have likely said that since she would have absolutely blurted it out on camera to make herself not look as bad.
Convincing a gang you'll make them famous on youtube with a camera is one thing. Being around them plus firearms plus crystal meth, is a new level of crazy.
I’m sure they were super respectful plus these dudes are in the Philippines hearing that people from America will think your scary is a huge ego boost.
I lived in that area from 1969 to 1972. How things have changed! I used to walk on Pajo Street to go to St Joseph's Church on Sundays. I even used to get a haircut at a barber shop on Pajo St. I was 12 years old in 1972. There were a lot of trees and nice houses back then. Quirino District was composed of Project 2 and Project 3, or Quirino District 2 and 3. Pajo St. and my neighborhood (Bignay St which intersected Pajo St) were in Project 2. I spent 4th, 5th, and 6th grades at Quirino Elementary School on Anonas St. which was the street Jojo was riding his motor bike on. That place is totally unrecognizable to me now.
Wow - Bill Clinton's contribution to 'world peace'. Hillary Clinton's 'Viking'? At least you can see where the gang name came from. Clinton got caught on Jeffrey Epstein's Island, but he's been a big fan of underage prostitution since he was Governor of Arkansas back in the 1980s... So sorry to see your old home go to heck like this... Donald Trump would call it 'a latrine', but he was a Clinton Insider until he got tipped of by the Russians that Clinton was going to get busted, which is when 'the Donald' leaped the fence and became a Republican... Look up the name 'ROBERT PHILLIP HANSSEN too, he was a former Chicago Cop and FBI agent who sold secrets to the GRU and got busted in 2001. Back in the early 1990s, he would launder his GRU money by tipping it to strippers and prostitutes, counting on them to not claim it as income, and besides that, he was a member of the right wing extremist group OPUS DEI, and was known for covering up sex offenses, especially those committed by clergy members against children. Hanssen had a big espionage operation based in Cleveland Ohio, where the former Cardinal of Washington, James Hickey was from, and Hickey was Cardinal of DC during the Clinton Administration... Hanssen, Barrack Obama, and Hillary Clinton were all from Chicago, which had a big GRU/KGB backed left wing domestic terror group called the WEATHER UNDERGROUND, which was sort of like a 'proto-anti-fascist' group, like the ones that burned down half of America in 2020...
Watching this in disbelief as Pilipino people here in Canada are the most kindest, sweetest and the most helpful people I've ever seen. Hard to believe this.
Wow, which kind of life is this, and again this is complete lesson for all of to stay away from trouble or any gang because it will lead you into trouble 👍🇸🇱
Probably they didn't want to gear up because they wanted to stay unnoticed. but I do agree that some shoes instead of flipflops could of been better, especially if the suspect was to run lol
Quezon City jail has closed as of 2021 partly due to being overcrowded 5 times it’s capacity. A lot of these inmates were transferred to other prisons but many were let out, so the gangs & crimes have gotten even more stronger because of this, unfortunately.
The funniest thing about this documentary are the t-shirts these gangsters wear. Toothless JoJo was wearing a “Family Day” shirt that had me cracking up.
I would have to be very cynical and say that if this is authentic, I find it strange that the gang boss or the bounty Hunter would reveal their faces in a documentary.
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 ✝🌅
Nah man! This is exaggerated docudrama. Even the translation is too much. Not the same as what the woman are saying even the gang members they say. Man,real no go zone is in Marawi. They go there and they will not come out alive without ransom. Even restricted to show this in the Philippines coz they know The President will order shoot to kill with this guy's even the Producer will get his torns.🤣 Now I'm questioning it's authenticity since I've been coming around that area alone always and almost everyday but never seen those people and even safe there.
This is a laughable 'documentary'. i live near this place, and trust me, its not as dangerous as this documentary makes it out to be. That 'gang' they interviewed are nobodies, just posers. Lots of posers in the Philippines, man. That 'boss' doesnt even have any money.
You probably expecting a men in black with audi or mercedes car? .... . 😃 Fortunately we have a lot sitting in with higher position in goverment,.... anyway this people is poor just trying to survive.... but in a bad way sadly.
Correction: "It's not Batangas City Jail Gang" but rather "Batang City Jail Gang". The Batang City Jail Gang is translated in English as "Child of the City Jail" because mostly of the gang members were young people who were currently or previously serving their jail time in any of the City Jail. City Jail were supposed to be a correction facilities, but instead when a new-be criminal entered in any city jail will usually turned to be a hardened criminal after they completed their jail time. The problem is; inside the prison facility there is only one law that rules, that is - The Law of the criminals.
"Headquarters, only accessible trough this narrow alley" LMAO, that's just the courtyard rendered trash dump by the residents of the surrounding buildings.
Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all. If you made it this far, bless you and never give up hope.
When I was a kid I had a friend who told me that his family was from the Philippines and him and his mom had seen a knife fight break out over a nickel. I never believed him until I watched this 30 years later.
I grew up in the Philippines. First in Batangas, then Antipoli/Cainta/Rizal outside of Manila. I'm lucky none of the places I lived were particularly dangerous
Got more than 7 bodies for probably at least each gang in san Diego otherwise yoall a posse doing pathetic things rather than investing in businesses feeble minded at its best-selling
very misleading talaga ang show at poor executions na to for youtube views... taga-tondo ako at alam ko ang laman ng mga bituka at utak ng mga tao.. tondo is one of the most notorious no-go-zones since early 80's pa at yang mga no-go-zones sa quirino ay lately na lang sumibol yan dahil dumadami ang tao at mahihirap... isang fake senaryo ay itong house raid ng gunrunner's lair dahil hindi ganyan ang setup ng isang gunrunner zone... may cctv protection, lookout at may tatakbuhan sa likod ng bahay na malilito ang mga pulis pag hinabol ang gunrunner... these gangs are weak and not that powerful enough to save them from being killed...
"This informant doesn't want to be identified. If the gangs find out who he is it means certain death! But we don't care; here he is in front of his house with his street & house number clearly visible."
She's been doing it so long it's not that easy to quit. I doubt she has the resources to get clean since she can't even afford to send her kids to school. I wish I could help her but there are too many people like her in the world to even make a dent.
@@djbillye4943 I don't think she has a mind anymore meth is a strong substance xD will wipe out you're brain cells faster than anything, probably lost at least a quarter of her brain cells within the last 4 years i still hope the best for her and her children those who introduced her to the drug deserve capital punishment.
It's not "Batanga" or "Batangas" City Jail gang. It's BATANG CITY JAIL gang, translated as Child of the City Jail. Batangas is a province South of Metro Manila.
I question the validity of the people in this video. I feel if this guy was a real bounty hunter who wanted to stay anonimus, he would not let youtube people film him and post him online.
Usually tv series like these are not immediately released on tv . They wait years sometimes decades until it's the films are released to the public. The 1st 48 tv series for example they broadcast films that were made 8-10 years ago .that way people have different lives later on

Where that exactly??

There are a lot of gangs in the Philippines poor areas and some of them were copy cat american gangs copying Mexican and Black gangs in USA.
The narrator (just learned that his name is Tom Zahner ) does an excellent job with his deep husky voice. As the saying goes, "Give me my flowers when I can still smell them", so good job sir and the entire Free Documentary Team.
This deep too you ?
Its amazing how they allowed to be in a documentary, the heart of everything on camera
How is this show not called Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure
Lol
that's a great question
🤣🤣
and then you realize, Peter (the bounty hunter) was the real serial killer and gang boss
He's the total Pychopath smh
@@mrg6185 gotta kill these dudes and get them out of there. You can't be soft in this place.
@@josephwilson5509 Well I don't know the personal background of the 30 plus people he has murdered / killed, so I dunno. But it's clear he has a cluster B personality disorder. Plenty of people live there not everybody does what he does
Pretty badass tbh
Man seeing that girl with her children at minute 20 broke my heart. I wish she can get over her addiction and be able to turn her life to a better life
How?? She probably cannot get a decent job.
How can any of them turn their lives around for the better if there are no real opportunities??!!
Even the guy at the end said that he once tried it and it got him nowhere but back to being arrested & beaten by police :'(
She'd rather spend money on meth than use that money to send her kids to school. I do have sympathy for her situation, but she is also selfish. She ran away with her kids, when they could have been with their father and his family.
She had the option to give them to the fathers parents for a better life...
She can start by not having any more kids.
She had plenty of options like giving her kids to their father for a better life. No kid deserves that and she deliberately set them up to live like that because of her selfishness
Feeling bad for those small,small kids.Tears rolled out.
Living in poverty and misery and then think it is a good idea to get kids so they also has to suffer !
Yes. When I saw the prostitutes two children sleeping and holding each other it made me wonder how much of her profession they’ve had to witness. Later in the video, it does seem like her tricks are performed elsewhere.
I am so thankful for what I have in life, its not much but its a whole other world most of my people will never experience. Humbling to see this doc. reminding us no matter what we have someone always has less. I hope we can towards a better tomorrow in the Philippines.
Facts, opened up my eyes how bless I am in America.
why tf are you copying comments
This is by far the most funniest gang documentary I've ever watch. The gangboss looks funny, has funny name, and driving a rickshaw. lmao
Yup, what's also funny, these bangers could rob and shoot you dead any day without hesitation, like it's just another Tuesday. Killed by a funny gangster with a funny name, riding a funny moped. Ain't that amusing?
@@Baalaaxa ya, and also they busy searching and forget to check on youtube
This gang should reform to be comedy troupe, it might be good.
Bahahahahaha. Yeah, i think JoJo has tripped over his bottom lip a few times too many
might look fun.... but they will kill you without blinking... when they r done with u they spit on your rotten corpse and go to the next one
I like to watch these whenever I am in a bad mood or down on life. It makes me realize how good I truly have it compared to people in these areas and/or in these prisons.
Same. They are great gratitude checks.
same
I feel that’s what Free Documentary’s thesis reaction is usually, from the noGo zones to their deadliest roads .
Really puts you in check with your “first world problems”.

I almost died when the gangsters piled into that little bicycle cart to go commit an armed robbery 😂😂😂😂😂😂

A very good documentary. The producers did a good job getting permission from all the people involve in this documentary.
JO JO'S quite the genius as he draws out his plans for his next crime on the cement with charcoal
Yup i would have made copies since they doped out.. Then put someone elses name on it as the key holder whoever im doped out on and spooking then bounty hunter can have a name n 31 kills haha
While telling his other bf's not to forget that trampstamp tat on there backs written jojo. Bye next week or else
😂😂
😅😅😅
specialized? Am I the only that see’s the disconnect between the narrator and this group of purse snatchers being treated like organized mafia?
No, we see it too. Some of these shows really stretch the truth. So much sometimes the truth becomes a lie.
The narrator on these docs constantly contradicts himself and tries to make things sound more impressive and well organized than they really are. It's really distracting.
Jojo: I take care of everyone that lives in my area
Also Jojo: You guys go here and look for anyone to rob 😅
lol
Hilarious

I said the same thing to myself once she said that
Keyword here is might
@@recinese Key word was Father
@@recinese It's all about chances.... you might get struck by lightning too but you still go outside. The fact that the father's parents weren't accepting of her ways seems like it MIGHT have been a better place for them. Unless they were abusers or only eating every few days it couldn't get much worse but, she would have likely said that since she would have absolutely blurted it out on camera to make herself not look as bad.
Yeah, she robbed them from their future.
Free Documentary thanks very much for update us 👍🇸🇱
Imagine one of the gang members scrolling through RUclips, finds this video and sees Peter the bounty Hunter. Lol
😂
That’s what I think this is a lie.
So fake to me.
@Jerome S unless they use nord vpn
@Jerome S do they know what a vpn is ?! 😂
People who join these gangs don't have IQs over 70 and would never be able to figure out how to get on RUclips.
Convincing a gang you'll make them famous on youtube with a camera is one thing. Being around them plus firearms plus crystal meth, is a new level of crazy.
I’m sure they were super respectful plus these dudes are in the Philippines hearing that people from America will think your scary is a huge ego boost.
Goddam that gang leader could open tins by biting them🙁💀
I lived in that area from 1969 to 1972. How things have changed! I used to walk on Pajo Street to go to St Joseph's Church on Sundays. I even used to get a haircut at a barber shop on Pajo St. I was 12 years old in 1972. There were a lot of trees and nice houses back then. Quirino District was composed of Project 2 and Project 3, or Quirino District 2 and 3. Pajo St. and my neighborhood (Bignay St which intersected Pajo St) were in Project 2. I spent 4th, 5th, and 6th grades at Quirino Elementary School on Anonas St. which was the street Jojo was riding his motor bike on. That place is totally unrecognizable to me now.
U literally have a Roblox pfp. Ain’t no way bru 🧢
@Skylar Long, Thats my dad lol, I sometimes use my dad's account on accident XD
Why do you lie?
So sad 😢
Wow - Bill Clinton's contribution to 'world peace'. Hillary Clinton's 'Viking'? At least you can see where the gang name came from. Clinton got caught on Jeffrey Epstein's Island, but he's been a big fan of underage prostitution since he was Governor of Arkansas back in the 1980s...
So sorry to see your old home go to heck like this...
Donald Trump would call it 'a latrine', but he was a Clinton Insider until he got tipped of by the Russians that Clinton was going to get busted, which is when 'the Donald' leaped the fence and became a Republican...
Look up the name 'ROBERT PHILLIP HANSSEN too, he was a former Chicago Cop and FBI agent who sold secrets to the GRU and got busted in 2001. Back in the early 1990s, he would launder his GRU money by tipping it to strippers and prostitutes, counting on them to not claim it as income, and besides that, he was a member of the right wing extremist group OPUS DEI, and was known for covering up sex offenses, especially those committed by clergy members against children. Hanssen had a big espionage operation based in Cleveland Ohio, where the former Cardinal of Washington, James Hickey was from, and Hickey was Cardinal of DC during the Clinton Administration...
Hanssen, Barrack Obama, and Hillary Clinton were all from Chicago, which had a big GRU/KGB backed left wing domestic terror group called the WEATHER UNDERGROUND, which was sort of like a 'proto-anti-fascist' group, like the ones that burned down half of America in 2020...
Watching this in disbelief as Pilipino people here in Canada are the most kindest, sweetest and the most helpful people I've ever seen. Hard to believe this.
What that gang really needs is a good dental plan.
Love the little huddle at the headquarters. Call the play: “Blue 52 on 2. Ready? Break!”
@Crazy Horse God bless you too 🙏🏽
Imagine being in a gang where you follow a leader who has switched his teeth with a feral dog off the street..

Imagine going on a police raid. In flipflops.
Probably they didn't want to gear up because they wanted to stay unnoticed. but I do agree that some shoes instead of flipflops could of been better, especially if the suspect was to run lol
It's more fun in the Philippines !!!
cause poverty is a thing :,)
@@eros1636
Yes but I’m sure they can afford actual shoes.
So funny i remember my friend running in those 😆
Quezon City jail has closed as of 2021 partly due to being overcrowded 5 times it’s capacity. A lot of these inmates were transferred to other prisons but many were let out, so the gangs & crimes have gotten even more stronger because of this, unfortunately.
Good grief,failure of the government.
We’re gonna get the same treatment if America keeps it up

Yeah....its already here...lmfao
Respect to all gangs worldwide. True command warriors living with no regrets.
The funniest thing about this documentary are the t-shirts these gangsters wear. Toothless JoJo was wearing a “Family Day” shirt that had me cracking up.
Cant forget the dell shirt
Saw a t shirt with "boy band..." Written on it. A cap with "BTS" written om it as well. All worn by gang members xD
Hahaha lol 😅😅😅😅
dont forget the guy wearing hello kitty sunglasses
JoJo is now deceased.
I would have to be very cynical and say that if this is authentic, I find it strange that the gang boss or the bounty Hunter would reveal their faces in a documentary.
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;
and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6 ✝🌅
To them it would probably be a flex maybe a show of power.
Nah man! This is exaggerated docudrama. Even the translation is too much. Not the same as what the woman are saying even the gang members they say. Man,real no go zone is in Marawi. They go there and they will not come out alive without ransom. Even restricted to show this in the Philippines coz they know The President will order shoot to kill with this guy's even the Producer will get his torns.🤣
Now I'm questioning it's authenticity since I've been coming around that area alone always and almost everyday but never seen those people and even safe there.
This is a laughable 'documentary'. i live near this place, and trust me, its not as dangerous as this documentary makes it out to be. That 'gang' they interviewed are nobodies, just posers. Lots of posers in the Philippines, man. That 'boss' doesnt even have any money.
this is the FUNNIEST Documentary I've ever seen'. Get away ride is classic
You probably expecting a men in black with audi or mercedes car? .... . 😃
Fortunately we have a lot sitting in with higher position in goverment,.... anyway this people is poor just trying to survive.... but in a bad way sadly.
Correction: "It's not Batangas City Jail Gang" but rather "Batang City Jail Gang". The Batang City Jail Gang is translated in English as "Child of the City Jail" because mostly of the gang members were young people who were currently or previously serving their jail time in any of the City Jail. City Jail were supposed to be a correction facilities, but instead when a new-be criminal entered in any city jail will usually turned to be a hardened criminal after they completed their jail time. The problem is; inside the prison facility there is only one law that rules, that is - The Law of the criminals.
Jojo looks like he’s also well protected from dental hygiene
He's dead already
Meth mouth
Thats a good one
I kill me
😭😭😭
Lol can’t take a gang serious when they conclude their meeting a “all hands in the middle” 😂 “1,2,3…..Colgate!”
Amazing content that inspired me to create a similar video for my own RUclips channel. Keep motivating other content creators like myself. Love the 🇵🇭
Now everyone understands why Duterte was chosen by Philippinos?
Duterte is the real gang master of gangs. My man
Duterte is no better than any of these guys. He’s killing people too.
He had 5 years to fix this problem. He said he would solve it in 3-6 months. I’ll never fall for his BS again
The people did not elect Duterte, at least not the way you're implying. He's HATED

special hint: don't wear flip-flops when doing a raid
LOL!
Golly dont let your brain swell about how hard you think you are as well
They need to blend in if not the operation will fail, If they smell raid they'll be gone in seconds.
Omg I can’t LOL 😆
How do I contact you?? =)))
That man is holding a revolver talking about hitting them with a lot of rounds but he only has three.

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all. If you made it this far, bless you and never give up hope.
They steal woman's handbag for living? What type of gang is this?
Handbag band 🤣🤣🤣🤣
import export gang
Also the gang seems to have a lot of influence, proud and formidable in the prisons from their viking tattooed and the boss explained.
Lol is not about stealing..They are doing anything bad including Stealing..Each of them is specialised for each task..

When I was a kid I had a friend who told me that his family was from the Philippines and him and his mom had seen a knife fight break out over a nickel. I never believed him until I watched this 30 years later.
"In order to protect his area"

I grew up in the Philippines. First in Batangas, then Antipoli/Cainta/Rizal outside of Manila. I'm lucky none of the places I lived were particularly dangerous
Anti polo is probably among the most corrupt places in the world. Almost everyone there is a criminal. It's like they all come from the same mother.

Check in at the dentist immediately after rehab.
The real gangsters are living the life in Manila, mansion and fast cars. Duh.
Right!
Got more than 7 bodies for probably at least each gang in san Diego otherwise yoall a posse doing pathetic things rather than investing in businesses feeble minded at its best-selling
No those are the punks with money that tell other people what to do. Those are business men not gangstas.
The real gangsters are politicians
Right! Der? Der! Right?
Unbeatable journalism. Very well-done job crews!
very misleading talaga ang show at poor executions na to for youtube views... taga-tondo ako at alam ko ang laman ng mga bituka at utak ng mga tao.. tondo is one of the most notorious no-go-zones since early 80's pa at yang mga no-go-zones sa quirino ay lately na lang sumibol yan dahil dumadami ang tao at mahihirap... isang fake senaryo ay itong house raid ng gunrunner's lair dahil hindi ganyan ang setup ng isang gunrunner zone... may cctv protection, lookout at may tatakbuhan sa likod ng bahay na malilito ang mga pulis pag hinabol ang gunrunner... these gangs are weak and not that powerful enough to save them from being killed...
"This informant doesn't want to be identified. If the gangs find out who he is it means certain death! But we don't care; here he is in front of his house with his street & house number clearly visible."
And a guy in blue standing just next to him and soon making a phone call to the gun dealer, perhaps.
Scripted. Not real. If true then Duterte killed them already. Exaggerated translation di nga tugma sa sinasabi ng babae. 🤣
can't wait for the Madagascar edition, so that we can all reference it

After seeing this i feel quite privileged. I know there are some sharp objects here in London but I rather live here than in the no go zone
The rivalry between the gangs is for Toothpaste rather than the area's I think
Sometimes free documentary like this also unavailable in my country when my country being a subject of documentary.
It's not "Batanga" or "Batangas" City Jail gang. It's BATANG CITY JAIL gang, translated as Child of the City Jail. Batangas is a province South of Metro Manila.

Too bad none of them specialize in cleaning up the 3 feet of garbage in the "headquarters" area.
its a slum so its expected
Yeah pollution is bad in some areas but they normally burn it
They should hire a cleaning lady to come around twice a week.
I question the validity of the people in this video. I feel if this guy was a real bounty hunter who wanted to stay anonimus, he would not let youtube people film him and post him online.
Usually tv series like these are not immediately released on tv . They wait years sometimes decades until it's the films are released to the public.
The 1st 48 tv series for example they broadcast films that were made 8-10 years ago .that way people have different lives later on
100 percent. " ive run this place for 20 years, now let me take a ride aroubd the perniter on my barely running moped to recon "
Even the gang seemed bogus.
They seemed like a bunch of speed-freaks who conned a film crew into believing they were kings of the shitheap.
