00:00The Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission of Paok shared their achievements in the past year,
00:07particularly in banning the Pugos following the directives of President Ferdinand R. Marquez Jr.
00:13In an interview with Paok Executive Director Undersecretary Gilbert Cruz,
00:18in the program Bagong Pilipinas Nayon,
00:2180% of the Pugos were shut down and their commission was suspended.
00:27They also continue to target guerrilla operations or small-scale Pugos,
00:32particularly in Visayas and Mindanao.
00:35U.C. Cruz mentioned that the coordination of the Department of Interior and Local Governments, or DILG,
00:43in the local governments to ensure that there is no longer an operation of Pugos.
00:48According to Paok,
00:50if more than 27,000 Pugos workers leave, the Bureau of Immigration will be shut down.
00:59It's good that the DILG and our coordination with Secretary John B. Cremulia are now shut down.
01:09And of course, the DOJ, because they are the ones helping us to file the case.
01:13Because the permit was no longer given to our Pag Corps.
01:17And the directive of our good friend, SILG John B. Cremulia,
01:21is that the permits will no longer be renewed.
01:24The local government units cannot renew their permits anymore,
01:29especially for the activities of the Pugo Hubs.
