00:00The Senate should inform and invite the former cabinet official who was a godfather to Pogo, according to the Senate President.
00:08It was PAG-COR that violated that responsibility of an untitled personality.
00:14And Jonathan Andal is on the case.
00:18The Senate issued an alarm to PAG-COR this weekend
00:22that a former member of the Cabinet was a godfather to get a license from some illegal Pogo.
00:28No one was informed, so the Senate leader said,
00:31PAG-COR should be informed so that all other cabinet officials,
00:37former ranking cabinet officials, should be invited by the Senate.
00:42I have an idea, but I won't say it yet because we don't have concrete evidence.
00:49The committee will invite the current PAG-COR chairperson and his chairperson
00:56during the last administration.
00:58Due to the current PAG-COR,
01:00they are now cleaning the list of Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators or POGO
01:04that they now call IGL or Internet Gaming Licensees.
01:08A POGO that was removed by PAG-COR for violating the Terms of License was proven.
01:16The license of the other three POGOs was suspended
01:20due to minor violations and lack of requirements.
01:24So, there are only 42 active POGO licensees compared to 46 when the Marcos administration came in.
01:31But POGOs were not the only ones to be reduced based on the list of POGO licensees in the country.
01:36Compared to the previous administration,
01:38hundreds of service providers were also removed by the PERMIT
01:42after they were informed of what was wrong according to PAG-COR.
01:46But even less, more people are collecting their pay now compared to the previous administration.
01:53This is because of the monthly admin fee that did not increase.
01:56As well as the guarantee fee,
01:58the earnings from the service providers of POGO
02:01and the earnings from the special class BPO of POGO or their call center.
02:07PAG-COR is expecting this year that they will be able to collect 6.5 billion pesos
02:12from the IGL and the remaining service providers.
