00:08According to Immigration Commissioner Joel Anthony Viado,
00:11they only have 29 days to follow the government's orders until the ban on the Pogo operation is completed.
00:18As of November 7, more than 21,000 Pogo workers have already downgraded their visas to tourist visas,
00:27while more than 10,000 have already left the country.
00:31As of now, 12,000 foreign nationals have not yet downgraded their visas.
00:37Meanwhile, for the affected Pogo workers,
00:40four special job fairs were held in Dole,
00:43where more than 200 internet gaming licensee or IGL workers were hired on the spot.
00:52Although we are focused on the workers of the legitimate operators of the IGL,

01:01we will not turn our backs on the workers who came from the illegals.
