00:00A senator promised that there are officials of the government who are advising the POGOs
00:05on how to continue the operation in the country even if the President is banning it.
00:10According to DILG, there are illegal POGOs and SCAMHUBs who are pretending to be other businesses.
00:17MAV Gonzales is on the case.
00:19I hereby instruct PAGCORP to wind down and cease the operation of POGOs by the end of the year.
00:28Even the President himself has ordered the banning of POGO operations in the country.
00:32In a statement issued by Senator Risa Hontiveros,
00:36she said that there are officials of the government who are advising the POGO operators
00:40on how to continue the operation in the country.
00:43According to us, there are government officials who are advising them
00:50to change their form, at least legally, like simple BPOs.
00:57As of now, the Senator has not yet given a name to the POGOs.
01:00But she has already made it public.
01:02It seems that they have already stopped.
01:04Is this an obstruction of justice?
01:06Why is it certain that there are accountabilities?
01:10And if the regulators themselves are allowing regulatory capture,
01:14they are interfering in a ban announced by SONA,
01:19in a released EO,
01:21in principle, under our law against POGOs,
01:25their accountability will be heavier.
01:28Yesterday, Interior Secretary John V. Cremulia assured the Commission on Appointments
01:33that POGOs and SCUMHUBs still have guerrilla operations.
01:36The biggest disguise that they are going through now
01:40is that they are applying for resorts and restaurants.
01:46So it is the power of the mayor to visit the establishments
01:52and make sure that what is going on is exactly what is intended.
01:56The illegal POGOs and SCUMHUBs are said to be talking differently.
02:00How about the SCUMHUBs that are not bothering to get business permits?
02:06That's a function of intelligence and that's a function of
02:11the special units of the Philippine National Police and the NBI
02:16to pursue and investigate and prosecute.
02:19Ontiveros is convinced that there is still a big personality in POGOs like Alice Goh.
02:24There are still big fish.
02:25And these big fish are proving that POGO hubs are not stand-alone operations
02:32like what was proven by Bamban POGO Hub and Porac POGO Hub.
02:39So the question of who are the big fish is still a live question.
02:45There is also new information that reached Ontiveros
02:48about the Chinese spies in the Philippines through POGOs.
02:52This is one of the discussions in the last hearing of the Senate on POGOs on Tuesday.
02:58For GMA Integrated News, Mav Gonzalez, Nakatutok, 24 Horas.
