00:00After the declaration of the POGO ban, it was also banned by TAGOR to accept new employees in POGO.

00:08In another operation against illegal POGO, 10 Chinese were arrested in Clark, Pampanga.

00:14Breaking news, 5 references, exclusive.

00:19PNP-CIDG targets small illegal POGO operating in residential areas in the Clark, Pampanga operation.

00:3010 Chinese were arrested for breaking 7 search warrants in different villas and townhouses in an exclusive community.

00:38Computers, gadgets, and money vaults used in their operation were recovered.

00:44No foreigners were allowed to be turned over to the Bureau of Immigration.

00:48The Bureau of Immigration and Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission, or PAOC,

00:54is also in custody.

00:55A Chinese national was arrested in Tuba, Benguet on Saturday.

00:58He was wanted in China and has Interpol Red Notice for fraud against almost 200,000 people.

01:05He was fined 7 billion yuan or almost 56 billion pesos in China.

01:11A Cambodian passport was confiscated.

01:14He's the one we consider to be the brain of the POGO operation, the scamming operation here in the Philippines.

01:22He's not only serving one POGO hub, he's also a consultant of various POGO hubs.

01:31Following the declaration of POGO ban by President Bongbong Marcos, according to TAGOR, new hires to POGO are now prohibited.

01:38Next week, POGOs will be held by the PAGCOR.

01:42The PAGCOR license is a privilege.

01:46And this privilege can be returned by the PAGCOR at any time.

01:54The 30,000 Filipino POGO workers who are expected to lose their jobs will help them find a job.

02:01The Department of Labor and Employment, or DOLE, is in talks with BPO and IT companies.

02:07Many of them are encoders.

02:10If their skills are lacking, their skills, we will join them in training, upskilling, retraining.

02:20The fact-finding team of Comelec is involved in the investigation of suspended Mayor Alice Guo.

02:28This week, the law department of Comelec On Bank is expected to provide their recommendation

02:34if there is a misrepresentation or violation of the omnibus election code of Guo.

02:39If the findings of the law department are correct, there could be a crime committed, which is called election offense,

02:49the law department of On Bank will immediately order to file the information to the regional trial court.

02:57All those who are in charge of the election commission should be afforded due process.

03:03According to the acting mayor of Bamban, they haven't seen Guo for a month and a half.

03:08Guo repeatedly denied that he's a Filipino and that he's not a POGO protector.

03:13In accordance with the co-oranto petition filed by the Solicitor General against him, he refused to give his lawyer's permission.

03:21Sanima Refran reported for GMA Integrated News.

03:27It's possible that the 2025 budget of the PNP will have an effect that hasn't been found yet for suspended Mayor Alice Guo.

03:38It's shameful for the PNP that this can't be done, especially that they're still here in the country, according to the Bureau of Immigration.

03:48Escudero is sure that this will affect the budget deliberations.

03:53However, he's sure that the PNP won't remove the intelligence funds because they might be more aggressive.

04:00This Monday, Senate President Pro Tempore Ginggoy Estrada told the PNP and NBI that it's possible that the budget of the PNP and NBI will be affected

04:09if they can't find Guo within a month.

04:13The PNP has yet to react to this.

04:15The PNP is still looking for Guo because he didn't attend the hearings in accordance with the POGO.

04:21As of now, the warrant of arrest for Guo is from the Senate and not from the court.

04:26The Department of Labor and Employment is ready to help the thousands of POGO employees who will lose their jobs because of the POGO ban.

04:34Let's ask Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma about the clear plan of the DOLE.

04:40Good morning and welcome to the Balitang Hali sir.

04:43Good morning Connie and good morning to your televiewers and supporters.

04:49Secretary, just to be clear, the figures are different.

04:55How many POGO employees will be affected by the ban?

05:00Some are saying 20,000, some are saying 30,000, some are saying 40,000.

05:03What are your figures?

05:06Connie, actually, that's the reason why we had the help of the PANCOR yesterday by Chairman Altenco.

05:16We want to reconcile the numbers that we received and we are asking the question, what is it really?

05:26Based on our assistance yesterday, we will have a validation meeting subsequently,

05:33which will be led by our Assistant Secretary, Assistant Secretary Paul Annover and the regional director of our NCR.

05:41We will validate the numbers.

05:44Based on our assistance yesterday, their figure is around 40,000.

05:50Based on the figures, we know that the list of those involved in this kind of activity is the PANCOR that gave the license.

06:03The companies listed in the PANCOR that we received, we will validate the employees because we want them to be profiled

06:14so that we can strengthen the right intervention or assistance to the workers who may be affected by the closure of the POGO operation,

06:27the former POGO that is now an IGL, their licenses.

06:31All right. Just to clarify Secretary,

06:34we will give assistance and we will transfer it to other industries that are purely Filipino citizens.

06:42Yes. That's our mandate in the Department of Labor and Employment.

06:47We will give assistance to those who are directly employed.

06:51But we also know that there are also those who are indirectly employed,

06:56those related to jobs that may be affected if the IGLs are completely closed.

07:04Okay. Are there industries that you are looking to transfer to our POGO workers?

07:11Do you have talks with the companies for them?

07:14There are already, initially Connie, especially in IT, business process in the management sector.

07:22Because in the initial results of profiling of our national capital region,

07:27we saw that a large part of them are importers.

07:31That means they have knowledge in technology.

07:35So if there is a need to increase the number of jobs,

07:40that is part of the interventions that the Department of Labor and Employment can carry out,

07:45which is led by PESTA.

07:48Thank you very much for your time on Balitang Hali, Secretary.

07:52Thank you very much, Connie. Long live your program.

07:55Thank you. That was Labor Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma.
