00:00We will continue with our news.
00:02The opinions of the lawmakers are divided on whether the total ban against POGO should be implemented.
00:11House Speaker Martin Rubaldes has ordered a deep investigation into the crimes committed by illegal POGO.
00:22We will be surprised by Mel Lesmoras.
00:26As part of the alleged crimes and other illegal activities committed by illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators or POGO in the country,
00:37House Speaker Martin Rubaldes has ordered a deep investigation into the issue.
00:45According to Speaker Rubaldes, these violations must be ended.
00:50It should also be determined who the mastermind and protectors of the alleged operations are in order to be punished under the law.
00:58In a separate statement, House Deputy Majority Leader Janet Garin and House Assistant Minority Leader Arlene Brosas favor this.
01:06If true, they should completely ban all POGO in the country.
01:12I do understand that some have permits and we are bound by that.
01:17If we're going to weigh the impact, the problem is that the legals became the front of the illegals
01:26and they have penetrated our country so much.
01:32This is blatant. What's happening in POGO is a blatant criminal activity and it needs to be investigated.
01:42But House Ways and Means Committee Chair Joey Salceda has a different opinion,
01:47who is also an economist and the main focus of the revenue measures in the House.
01:52She said that the government should not ban POGO.
01:56It will affect other sectors and also our economy.
02:01Brosas has an opinion on this.
02:04Being one of the biggest revenues in the country, I think that's where he is coming from.
02:15Actually, he is thinking about business.
02:22He knows the appropriation, he knows the revenues that are needed.
02:30But as I said, this will not be the solution.
02:34Aside from POGO, it is also expected that the camera will continue to discuss other issues affecting the safety and well-being of our countrymen.
