00:00Despite being beaten, the woman is still in pain. She was suspected of escaping in order to report to the authorities.
00:10One of them, however, was electrocuted while posing in the bed frame.
00:14This man was beaten on the head.
00:17He was supposed to be saved but the presidential anti-organized crime commission, or PAOC, was unable to save him.
00:24The videos of torture were broadcasted to the camera about the beatings.
00:30It was also asked if the videos could be broadcasted because anyone can watch the live stream.
00:55According to some PAOC-saved foreigners, they entered the country as tourists and they will receive a working visa.
01:04However, they were not allowed to enter the company.
01:08This foreigner was kidnapped and brought to Porac Pogo on June 2 and saved by PAOC on June 5.
01:16150 foreigners were brought there.
01:19Pogo's robbery in Bamban reached 280 people, including this foreigner.
01:25According to his friend, we will just eat. He sold us for P300,000 but he didn't know.
01:32And these operations have uncovered the extent of criminal activities associated with Pogos.
01:39From serving as a hub for human trafficking to engaging in crimes and cyber crimes like lab scams, loan scams, kidnappings, prostitution, murders, and a nest for international wanted persons.
01:55Scam farms in other countries are almost the same.
01:59Like in Myanmar, where a Filipino was saved.
02:03The first child was encoded to him.
02:05But when it came to that, he became a scammer.
02:24More than 400 cancelled Pogos and scam farms were listed in the list of committees in the country.
02:30Only 45 Pogos were licensed in the country, according to PAG-COR.
02:34Three were suspended.
02:36PAG-COR has a hard time fighting illegal gambling due to online influencers.
02:42They use platforms such as Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube to encourage prospective players to try their luck.
02:52Many young people can play on these illegal platforms.
02:59The licenses of Pogos or IGLs have been used to create a veneer of legality for their illegal activity.
03:06Some Pogos will continue to operate despite the ban.
03:09If there will be a ban, we will continue to operate against these illegal Pogos.
03:15The Iloilo Council passed a resolution prohibiting the operation of Pogos in Lungsod.
03:22Last week, Mayor Jerry Trenas issued an executive order to ban Pogos.
03:28Aside from Iloilo City, several LGUs also banned Pogos in their area.
03:34The DILG was able to reach the mayors to talk about Pogos.
03:41All businesses registered are legal.
03:47Different business groups in the country supported the recommendation of the finance secretary and NEDA chief to ban Pogos.
03:56In addition to the Pogos issue, a resolution was also passed in the House of Representatives
04:01to investigate the issuance of birth certificates and passports abroad.
04:07For GMA Integrated News, I am Tina Panganiban-Perez, your witness.
04:14Kapuso, let's all be witnesses.
