NewsTranscript
00:00For Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Juan Ponce Enrile,
00:03the executive order of former President Rodrigo Duterte
00:08that allowed Pogos to enter the Philippines was not properly studied.
00:11The former President's spokesperson, Harry Roque,
00:15will also be investigated for his possible connection to the Pogos.
00:19Tina Panganiban-Perez brings you the latest news.
00:24In front of Ator and Harry Roque,
00:26when the camera heard about the Pogos,
00:29he left for Benguet,
00:32where he was raided for his possible connection to the Pogos,
00:35where two of them were arrested.
00:38Paok said that one of the arrested was wanted
00:42for widespread fraud in China
00:45and fraud to almost 200,000 people.
00:49I don't know these two people.
00:52I admit that I have an interest in the corporation
00:55that owns the house.
00:56With this development, sir,
00:58we will include the former spokesperson, Harry Roque,
01:03in our investigation.
01:04Cassandra Lee Ong will be charged for snubbing the camera committee.
01:10Ong is the so-called bodyguard of Lucky South 99 Pogos
01:14in Porac, Pampanga,
01:16who was accompanied by Roque to the Pag Corps
01:18to ask about the unremitting payment of his company.
01:24Aside from the joint hearing of the House Committee on Public Order and Safety
01:27and the House Committee on Games and Amusement,
01:30the camera also plans to conduct an inspection of the Pogos.
01:34Some of the camera's leaders are expected to be here.
01:38Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Juan Ponce Enrile also faced a hearing
01:43which he said was in accordance with the Pogos ban
01:46declared by President Bongbong Marcos.
01:49I will kick out Pogos in this country.
01:51Pogo is a money laundering operation.
01:55He was accompanied by his son,
01:56the Administrator and Chief Executive Order of the Cagayan Economic Zone Authority,
02:01or CESA,
02:02which denies the existence of Pogos there.
02:05I want to categorically state that there are no Pogos
02:12in the Cagayan Special Economic Zone and Freeport.
02:17The Executive Order No. 13 of former President Rodrigo Duterte
02:21also has a commentary on the regulation and licensing
02:26of gambling and online gaming facilities.
02:29It was ill-advised.
02:31They did not study it well.
02:34My God, Pogo was banned by Cambodia,
02:37banned by many countries in Central Asia,
02:41and we adopted it here.
02:44And why is it
02:46that until now
02:49you have Pogos in Bambang,
02:52in Borac,
02:54and without Pagkor being able to control them?
03:01Is that a wise decision,
03:04wise activity?
03:09Do you believe that Executive Order No. 13
03:11that was issued by the former President Rodrigo Duterte
03:15was a mistake?
03:16Yes, sir.
03:18Okay.
03:20Because all the powers were transferred to Pagkor?
03:25Yes, sir.
03:26Tina Panganiban Perez,
03:28reporting for GMA Integrated News.
03:32After the raid on a house in Tuba, Benguet,
03:35which is connected to the illegal Pogo,
03:37the head of the investigation,
03:39Attorney Harry Roque,
03:40will be with us.
03:41And after that,
03:42we will talk to Attorney Harry Roque,
03:44who is on the other side of the line.
03:46Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.
03:48This is Connie Sison.
03:50Yes, Connie.
03:51Thank you for the opportunity to explain.
03:55At yesterday's hearing,
03:56it was not confirmed yet
03:58that the person who was caught
04:00at the house in Tuba, Benguet
04:02is connected to Pogo.
04:04According to Jusef Cruz,
04:06they are still investigating
04:07if he has ties to Pogo.
04:09From what I understand,
04:11he was caught
04:12because of the red seats of the Interpol
04:16that the People's Republic of China
04:18underestimated for financial fraud.
04:21So it is not confirmed yet
04:23that he is connected to Pogo.
04:24That is still being investigated by PAOC.
04:27And I am cooperating fully
04:29in the investigation of PAOC.
04:31I also asked for permission
04:33from the Embassy of the People's Republic of China
04:36because I did not know
04:37that a fugitive from China
04:39hid in his house.
04:41But of course,
04:42you will cooperate with PAOC
04:45in their investigation on this.
04:48Yes.
04:49It is a full cooperation
04:50because we did not hide anything.
04:52The person who hid in that house
04:54is a one-year-old girl
04:56who showed her passport
04:57and alien certificate of registration.
05:01And it shows in her alien certificate of registration
05:05and in her passport
05:07that she is single.
05:10The name of the person
05:11that the People's Republic of China is looking for
05:14is different
05:15even though it is confirmed that it is that person.
05:17So the identification of that person is also different.
05:20Sir, maybe you can indulge us
05:22because of course,
05:23when we are talking about this house,
05:25I know this is something very private.
05:27But maybe you can explain it
05:29for our knowledge
05:30because it is so far.
05:31Tuba, Benguet.
05:32Is this your house?
05:34What is it?
05:35Why are you interested
05:37in this particular property?
05:39I am not a registered owner.
05:41A corporation is a registered owner
05:44and in turn,
05:45it is owned by a corporation.
05:47And now,
05:48I am just a nominal shareholder.
05:50But I will get the full ownership
05:53of that house again
05:55by way of purchasing the shares
05:57owned by the shares
05:59of the registered owner of that house.
06:01That is what I am confirming.
06:03And I am also confirming
06:05that I lived in that house
06:07when I was not in the government.
06:09But when I returned to the government
06:11and returned to my practice,
06:13it was confirmed
06:15that there was no one.
06:17And in January 2024,
06:21that is when the big contract was signed.
06:23Okay.
06:24It is so far.
06:25But that is where you chose to live
06:28after you joined the government?
06:31Well, this is the first time
06:33that I left the government in 2019
06:36when I had feelings
06:38and my plan to join the Senate in 2016
06:40did not go through.
06:42Okay.
06:43This is still about the news
06:46that you will be cited in contempt
06:49supposedly because you attended
06:51the Senate hearing.
06:53Senator Riza,
06:54have you already talked to them?
06:57I asked for their permission
06:59because I am the president.
07:01But you can see the context
07:03of why I spoke.
07:05I am not disrespectful.
07:07What Senator Wingachel said,
07:09why am I speaking
07:11while Senator Riza is speaking.
07:13For me, when I speak,
07:15Senator Riza is also speaking.
07:17It's not like in court,
07:19when you answer yes-no,
07:21you will be given a chance
07:23to explain and redirect.
07:25What Senator Riza wants is yes-no explanation.
07:28I think in court,
07:30if you can explain yes-no answer,
07:32why not in the Senate?
07:34Senator Riza also said that
07:36the Chinese were hiding in your house
07:38under the Interpol Red Notice.
07:40Are you aware of that?
07:42You said that you are already talking
07:44to China regarding this particular notice.
07:52No.
07:53That's why I am ashamed of the Chinese.
07:55I have no knowledge
07:57that there are Chinese agents
07:59hiding in that house.
08:01That's why my full cooperation
08:03is not only with the POCF,
08:05but also with the Chinese Embassy.
08:07I am now working hard
08:09to deport them to China.
08:11Thank you very much, Atty.
08:13for the time you gave us
08:15in the latest news.
08:16Thank you, Connie.
08:17Thank you for the opportunity to explain.
08:19That's Atty. Harry Roque.
08:21The camp of the former
08:23Negros Oriental 3rd District
08:25Representative Anolfo Ted Vez Jr.
08:27to recover the extradition
08:29or return him to the country.
08:31According to the lawyer of Ted Vez,
08:33Atty. Ferdinand Topacio,
08:35they appealed to the Timor-Leste
08:37Prosecutor General last Friday,
08:39a month after the court approved
08:41the extradition request
08:43of the Philippines.
08:45In addition to Topacio,
08:47they also filed other appeals.
08:49Jimmy Integrated News is trying to catch
08:51the statement of the Department of Justice
08:53that the extradition was requested.
08:55They first said that this July
08:57Ted Vez will return to the Philippines.
08:59Ted Vez is the mastermind
09:01of the murder of the former
09:03Negros Oriental Governor Ruel DeGamo
09:05and he was executed
09:07on March 4, 2023.
09:09He has previously denied the accusations.
