00:00There is no Pogo left in the country according to the Pag Corps.
00:04Along with the closure, the largest Pogo Hub in Cavite was also closed.
00:10But the PNP said that the fight is not yet over.
00:15Jun Veneracion is on the scene.
00:21Full force, the high officials of the government
00:24inspected the largest Pogo Hub in the country
00:27that can be found in Cavite.
00:29The dormitories and gaming area were inspected.
00:33After that, it was closed.
00:35The Pogo Hub was built in the area that was sold in 2017
00:39by the family of Interior Secretary John Vic Rimulya.
00:42As of last month, there is no electricity in the buildings here.
00:46It was closed.
00:48As you can see, there are no signs of habitation here
00:52and no signs of business.
00:54As of this morning when we closed it,
00:57there is no Pogo Hub left in the country.
01:02The operator is now worried about what to do
01:05with the 30 hectares of land that has 57 dormitories.
01:10The closure of Pogo is in accordance with President Bongbong Marcos' order.
01:15Considering that we haven't paid our debts here,
01:20so we're open to any suggestions.
01:22But now, we just want to show everyone that the island is now closed.
01:26Because of the closure of the Pogo Hub here in Island Cove in Cavite,
01:3015,000 employees, mostly Filipinos, lost their jobs.
01:35In total, the PAG Corps said 40,000 displaced workers
01:40because of the government's halt in Pogo.
01:44Including three children and one daughter-in-law of Annabel,
01:47she also lost her income
01:49because she stopped selling outside the Pogo Hub.
01:52We don't have income for a long time.
01:54Now, I'm looking for a place where I can sell.
01:57But the problem with Pogo is not over yet.
01:59There are reports from law enforcement agencies
02:02that there is a small Pogo that is still operating.
02:05After January 1, you will see the power of the government against this.
02:10We will make sure that our President's promise will be fulfilled
02:14that there will be no Pogo by January 1.
