00:17In front of the closing operation of the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operations or POGO in the country,
00:22President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. encouraged the local governments to be aggressive
00:28in their efforts to stop the operation of the Pogos in their areas, according to the President.
00:33The local governments should be aggressive in their efforts to look after their communities.
00:38Advice to these people, do not be hasty and rush to the DILG
00:43if you find out that there is still an operation of the Pogos in their area.
00:47The DILG assured that they will comply with the President's directive,
00:51especially since the end of the year is not yet expected
00:54to end the operation of the Pogos to ensure that the country is Pogo-free next year.
01:00However, the law enforcement entity will impose a fine to those who will operate the Pogos.
01:05They will do everything by the government to make it difficult for the Pogos to operate in the country.
01:13It is easy to talk about this because there will be a lot of movements and movements of individuals in one place
01:19where the role of the LGUs will be big in solving these incidents.
01:24Next, the President's directive to the law enforcement and anti-corruption entities
01:30has been tightened to enforce the law on the Pogos that the illegal operation will continue,
01:35said the Executive Board of the 2nd Joint National Peace and Order Council-Regional Peace and Order Council in Campo Crame.
01:43Here, the President ordered the PNP and CIDG to strengthen the operation against the Pogos
01:49that will remain operational despite the total ban,
01:52as well as his directive to the DILG to find important information for the communities.
01:58Until this November 29, 53,700 Offshore Gaming licenses were cancelled.
