00:19A few days before the October 15 deadline of the Bureau of Immigration,
00:2320,000 to 30,000 foreign POG workers still haven't been downgraded by their work visas in tourist visas.
00:31This is still in line with the President's order to ban POGOs in the country.
00:35According to Bureau of Immigration Deputy Spokesperson Melvin Mabulak,
00:39after being downgraded, they only have 50 days to leave the country.
00:44But if they were to be downgraded as foreign POG workers, they will be arrested.
00:49We will issue an order to leave here.
00:52We will release cancellation of all their visas that were issued related to POGOs.
01:00We will cancel them automatically.
01:02This means that they will be improperly documented.
01:05I'll look to their bases for deportation.
01:08Proceeding. And I will put them on our blacklist.
01:12Based on the data of the BI, only 10,000 were downgraded.
01:16We have a coordination. We will have a periodic meeting with the concerned agencies
01:22to ensure that this is implemented and that our deadline is up to date.
01:26Our communication with POGOs is very open.
01:29With POGOs, NBI and PNP.
01:33We have a list. I also provided them a list of the employees in this company.
01:40Meanwhile, the PNP Criminal Investigation and Detection Group is still looking for
01:45former Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque,
01:48who has a contempt order from the Quad Committee of the House of Representatives.
01:51This is still in the investigation of POGOs in the country.
01:54According to PNP-CIDG Spokesperson Police Lieutenant Colonel Imelda Reyes,
01:58Roque was transferred to another location.
02:01We also have a need.
02:04Right after, they will know that he is monitored.
02:09Again, I said that he is good.
02:14He is a good attorney.
02:15Therefore, we are also waiting for the part of the law enforcers.
02:20Since our technology is already modern,
02:26we are being upgraded there.
02:28We have set up another agency to help.
02:32Remember, the Quad Committee issued a contempt order after Roque was arrested.
02:37They submitted the documents they asked for.
02:39The investigation of the committee is now in progress
02:41to determine if he has a connection to illegal POGOs or not.
02:45At the moment, the police are still monitoring Roque's movements
02:48with an immigration lookout bulletin.
