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.
