A young woman wakes up in bed, stretches, and reaches for her mobile phone.
She plays with her dog, who's small, white and fluffy, and goes by Kash.
And then she addresses the camera.
Good morning, Cash.
Say good morning.
She's in her early 30s, with long dark hair and big round glasses.
This is Alice Guo, and what you're hearing comes from a video on her YouTube channel.
Ta da.
Let's go.
It looks a lot like your average lifestyle vlog, but this is political.
The mayor of a small provincial town in the Philippines connecting with her constituents.
It's a small farming town about two hours north of Manila called Bamban.
What's unusual here is a cluster of gleaming office blocks in a field behind a high wall.
Last March,
the police conducted a midnight raid on this compound and found around 300 foreign nationals working inside.
This compound is what is known in the Philippines as a pogo,
which stands for Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator.
Pogos are online casinos which were set up to allow people in China,
where gambling is illegal, to bet online.
But nowadays, some of these pogos are simply a front for serious criminal enterprises.
