00:00A more strict regulation in the online gaming industry is the one proposed by the Senate.
00:06Some are worried that they are also POGO,
00:10which is just hiding as an Internet Gaming Licensee or IGL to operate.
00:16Sandra Aguinaldo pointed it out.
00:18There is information from Senator Sherwin Gatchalian and three other personalities
00:26that there is a high position in POGO in Banbantarlak and Porak, Pampanga,
00:30with the help of the group of Dismissed Mayor Alice Guo, who is out of the country.
00:35They are Duan Renwu, Wang Ziyang, and Zhang Jie.
00:39The NIA network also helped to transfer Guo to Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia,
00:46where Guo was arrested.
00:47Duan Ren is one of the active personalities in their movement in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore.
00:57One is Wang Ziyang, and the other is Zhang Jie, the president of Lucky South.
01:02Gatchalian did not mention who wrote Guo's name on the paper in the last hearing,
01:08but he said that Wang Ziyang, one of the POGO bosses, has a role in Guo's escape.
01:14Obviously, he played a big role in the escape of Alice Guo and their group in Malaysia.
01:27In their group in Malaysia, Cassandra Lee is also there.
01:30In the Senate Committee on Ways and Means hearing,
01:33it is clear that POGO may have a new year after this election of the president.
01:39There are other online industries like e-gaming.
01:44The so-called special class BPO are those who serve legal gaming operators but do not receive a salary.
01:52If POGO is a foreign company, e-gaming is a Filipino company.
01:5930% of Pagcor's income comes from e-gaming, and this industry continues to grow.
02:06This online gaming segment or sector in the revenue stream of Pagcor
02:15will contribute about P35 billion.
02:26And that would mean the generation of more jobs for our kababayans.
02:36There needs to be a strict regulation of e-gaming, especially if it can be played using a cell phone.
02:43The Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission, PAOC,
02:47is also monitoring the increase of small POGOs based on houses and condominium units
02:54so that they are not immediately targeted by the authorities.
