Manila Syndicate
Manila Syndicate Born in Sicily, Italy but raised in the Philippines. They are one of the largest and most well-known families whose influence and territory stretched throughout Manila. They have decided to expand their reach by moving to Los Santos. Chris Tims is considered one of the Philippines' public enemies where he reigned and dominated Manila's then-known mob district, Tondo, for several years. Chris Tims as a family leader had 16 loyal members in his group, with 4 hideouts in Manila (Tondo, Binondo, Quiapo & Pier). Manila Syndicate's name had been linked to illegal possession and sale of firearms, homicide, collection of sum of money from businessmen, and other unknown nefarious cases from which somehow he always managed to squirm out of arrest.
Culture:
All full members of the Manila Syndicate must undergo an initiation where they must wear a "tatak" (tattoo or brand), considered to be a badge of honor. There was pride among the Manila Syndicate regarding the tatak that borders on "blood brother" ties. The tatak is usually tattooed on the right chest of each member.
Boss:
At the top of the pile is the boss. A boss makes all the major decisions and all the Mafia income ultimately came to him. His authority was required to control the Mafia members and to resolve any disputes. In the late 20th century and even today, the real boss keeps a low profile and assigns an acting boss to keep his real identity hidden from the likes of the press, and the FBI
Under Boss:
The second-in-command in the family and 'heir' to the throne. While the Boss is slightly relaxed and calm, the Senior is brutal and straightforward since he is the man who gets the money to the Boss.
Caporegime:
The role of a Capo is to manage their own crew within the crime family, they will be given a designated geographical location to operate within, or they will be given a particular racket to run. A Capo’s career relies heavily on how much money they can bring into the family.
Soldiers:
Made men, official members of the family, earn the money to get to the Capos and also take part in physical interrogation and murders/assassination tasks.
Associates:
An associate is simply someone who works with the mob, including anyone from a burglar or drug dealer to a lawyer, investment banker, police officer, or politician. Associates can still become made-men if they meet the criteria set out, if successful they will be promoted to a street solider, usually.
How we operate the Family
Gambling is one of the things the family enjoys. Not only it is for leisure time but a way of making profits by offering other gamblers a loan but they must put any of their possession, such as cars or expensive items, as collateral. The collateral acts as a form of protection for the lender if they are unable to pay them back.
In terms of illegal weapons, the Manila Syndicate either trades or buys weapons in bulk at a lower price and eventually sells them at the best price in the city.
Exporting merchandise or goods, such as crops, fuel, valuable stones. Investing the income from the business for illegal weapons and drugs.
Robbing people or intercepting them outside of the city.
