00:00In front of the camera today,
00:03some workers were saved from their illegal shooting in the country.
00:09Here, they shared their experiences.
00:13The videos that show their pain are real.
00:18The law-abiding people who should finally stop the crimes
00:23committed by the shooters,
00:25that's what Mela Las Moras wrote.
00:30This is him.
00:34This man is crying and screaming because of the pain,
00:38but the beating is still going on.
00:41In a separate video,
00:43a woman is seen being beaten and slapped mercilessly.
00:48In another video,
00:50the man was blindfolded while being beaten.
00:54All of this was taken from the actual point of torture
00:58of some workers in their illegal shooting in the country.
01:02This was presented to the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission
01:06or PAOC in a joint hearing
01:08of the House Committee on Public Order and Safety
01:10and the Committee on Games and Amusements
01:12to show how serious the crimes and illegal activities
01:16that they are discovering in the shooting are.
01:19In the video,
01:20some rescued workers were also seen
01:22and their story was told.
01:25When I arrived,
01:27in Baman Talak,
01:29the place there,
01:30he told me to wait in the domestary there.
01:33He said he would go to do something and then come back later.
01:37And then I just wait,
01:38wait until around 30 minutes after the office,
01:42like the in-charge,
01:43maybe the admin or anything,
01:45he's coming to calling me,
01:46and then go to the supervisor place
01:48and then he would tell me I need to work in there
01:51and then I think I already got sell.
01:53Dilan,
01:54as he was telling his story,
01:56he was sold.
01:57He was sold to SUNYU once above.
02:00The one who sold him was his friend.
02:03There were times when our witness was in a coma
02:07that's why he was shot.
02:08He was given to us by the Malaysian Embassy
02:11because he texted the company
02:14and he showed the bullets to his face.
02:17Among the congressmen,
02:19at an earlier time,
02:20POGO crimes should have ended in the country.
02:23PAOK and DOJ also favor this.
02:26We cannot deny that criminal activities occur in POGOs.
02:31We likewise cannot deny that the licenses of POGOs or IGLs
02:36have been used to create a veneer of legality
02:39for their illegal activity.
02:40We have to admit that our perspective is on the negative side,
02:44being on the justice and law enforcement sector.
02:47Executive Secretary Lucas P. Bersamin
02:49gave us a clear and urgent directive
02:52to eradicate the scourge of human trafficking in our country
02:57and ensure the rescue of all its victims.
03:01Consequently, after extensive intelligence work
03:05and coordination with our partners
03:07from law enforcement agencies
03:09like the DOJ, IACAT, the Philippine National Police,
03:12our campaign against illegal trafficking
03:14has directly led us to the conduct of raids
03:17on numerous illegal POGOs.
03:19According to PACOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro Tengco,
03:23because of their efforts and efforts,
03:2645 illegal POGOs in the country and three more are suspended.
03:31PACOR also gave benefits to the economy of illegal POGOs
03:35but they are ready to follow
03:37whatever will be the new administration's order regarding this.
03:41If you ask us what our plans are for offshore gaming,
03:46this is just a small part of our plans.
03:52We want to employ 24-7 monitoring
03:58in all operating sites
04:00and we are planning to remove the framework for the hubs.
04:07For now, we only have one hub
04:11and we would like to impose higher fines and penalties
04:16to airing licensees and service providers.
04:19In the continuation of the investigation,
04:21several personalities will be invited by the Joint Committee,
04:24including the former Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque.
04:28In the coming weeks,
04:30the investigation of POGOs is expected to continue
04:35before they come up with a final recommendation regarding this.
