00:00Even the Chinese Embassy has joined in calling for the banning of Pogo in the Philippines.
00:08Attorney Harry Roque defended himself after he found a document signed by Pogo in Porac, Pampanga.
00:17Witness, Jun Veneracion.
00:22The residents of this Pogo Hub in Porac, Pampanga have entered forcefully.
00:29Illegal activities have been reported.
00:32In one of the houses, thieves were caught using torches to torture the employees of Pogo Hub.
00:39Text blasts or sending many messages by scammers were also found.
00:45Papers were also collected to identify those involved in Pogo Hub and their connections.
00:51At the security office entrance,
00:53the PNP Regional Highway Patrol Unit 3 received a Certificate of Recognition
00:58for the generous donations of the company to the establishments operating in the compound.
01:06The PNP Regional Highway Patrol Unit 3 defended their Certificate of Recognition
01:12for the contribution of the company to the maintenance of their facility.
01:17The company is part of the private sector,
01:19which is engaged in Ride for a Cause as part of the fundraising activity for the PNP Regional Highway Patrol Unit 3.
01:27We were able to give a good fit of the Certificate of Recognition.
01:30There were items like cement and iron.
01:35In December, they saw that the women quarters and the CR were not functioning.
01:41Our clients were not able to go to the comfort room because they were not permitted.
01:46But the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission or PAOC said,
01:49Of course, if you know that this is illegal, why do you need to give appreciation?
01:54So, we will check how generous, how big, or how much help was given.
02:02We will know.
02:03The appointment papers were also seen by an Executive Assistant of Malacanang
02:08in the office of the former Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque.
02:11This is scheduled for January 4, 2021.
02:14There is also an Affidavit of Support signed by Roque when he left the government.
02:20It is stated here that he will pay the expenses of his former Executive Assistant
02:24for their trip to Europe in October of last year.
02:27That is what I am curious about. Why are those documents here?
02:32Roque said that he is a lawyer who runs a company in a court case,
02:36but he has nothing to do with the POGO operation.
02:39He was told not to mix up the appointment papers of his wife when he was still in Malacanang.
02:45I've been an employee of his for a long time, but he hasn't worked for me for a long time.
02:51I think he is studying somewhere in Clark. Maybe he lives there.
02:57In the hearing of the Pampanga District Attorney General,
03:00the local government officials of PORAC fired Mayor Jaime Capil,
03:05a member of the illegal POGO Hub in the town of PORAC,
03:08which was raided by the authorities on June 4.
03:11It came out in the hearing that the POGO Hub operator, Lucky South 99,
03:16was given a business permit from 2019 to 2023,
03:21despite the lack of relevant requirements and documents.
03:25It also came out that Lucky South 99 obtained a business permit in 2019,
03:30which was given within a day.
03:33They applied for an application around November 11 of 2019.
03:40When was the business permit issued?
03:43That same day, sir.
03:45On the same day?
03:47November 11, sir.
03:49What documents did you require?
03:51We will take care of that.
03:53Mayor Capil also said that he has no knowledge of human trafficking,
03:59sex trafficking, torture, and other illegal operations in the POGO Hub.
04:03The Chinese Embassy has already appealed to the Philippine government to ban the POGO.
04:08They have no basis for the illegal operations in China in the POGO operation.
04:13The Chinese law strictly prohibits any type of gambling.
04:18They also have evidence that it is related to other crimes
04:22such as kidnapping for ransom, human trafficking, and murder.
04:26For GMA Integrated News, I'm June Veneracion, your witness.
04:32My fellow countrymen, let's all be witnesses.
