00:00Meanwhile, let's go back to Kenneth Paciente Cauglay's report on the finalization of the Pogo operation in the country. Kenneth?
00:07Yes, Naomi. Since December 15, four days ago, all licenses of Pogos in the country have been canceled.
00:15That's what Pagcor promised following President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s directive.
00:20In his press briefing, Pagcor Chairman Alejandro Tenco said that he will not wait for the end of the year
00:26to cancel the Pogos operation in the country.
00:29Instead, he will speed up the opening of Pogos in the country.
00:32In fact, since President R. Marcos announced the cancellation of the Pogo operation in the country,
00:37Pogos in the Philippines have been reduced to 60.
00:41And now, there are only 7 licensed Pogos in the country due to the process of revocation of their licenses.
00:49Now, the government is preparing for the expected guerrilla operations of Pogos,
00:54or the successful operation of some Pogo companies.
00:57Now, the government promised that the Law Enforcement Agency will be more strict
01:01to control these Pogos.
01:03And the government promised that all agencies will do their part
01:06to make it difficult for them to operate in any part of the country.
01:10Again, the government insisted that the cancellation of the Pogos operation
01:15will have no effect on the country's economy.
01:16Meanwhile, the government continued to support the violation of women's rights in the country.
01:23In a separate press briefing in Malacanang, the Philippine Commission on Women
01:27assured that their programs will continue so that the case of VAW can be solved more quickly.
01:33As for me, I will continue to support the various agencies of the government.
01:38That is all for the latest. Back to you, Naomi.
01:41Thank you very much, Kenneth Paciente.
