00:00Various agencies will help Malacanang to discuss the implementation of the Total Pogo Ban.
00:07One of the problems now is that the government is spending a lot of money on illegal pogo raids.
00:14Salima Refran has the first news.
00:22In the ongoing campaign against illegal pogo activities,
00:26the government is also spending a lot of money on taking care of the people who are being arrested here.
00:33They are already spending more than P85 million,
00:36from food and medicine to sending them back home to their countries.
00:42We don't want humanitarian crises to happen,
00:46especially if our prisoners are foreign nationals.
00:51They might say that we are not observing the human rights of these people.
00:58According to the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission of PAOC,
01:02more than 1,600 people are being deported,
01:05which was added yesterday by 33.
01:08Blacklisted or they will not be able to return to the Philippines.
01:12Technically, all of them will be treated as criminal suspects in China,
01:16so they will all be charged criminally in China.
01:19With the ongoing closure of pogos in the country,
01:22the government is talking to foreign pogo workers
01:25where the country's prisoners are,
01:27instead of being arrested in the operation and being deported back to their countries.
01:33Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin-Namuya asked to review the previous order of the Bureau of Immigration.
01:40But we will clarify with the immigration people what are the rules that we should follow
01:46because it should be in consonance with the December 31 deadline, right?
01:55And we don't want people to be panicking because they gave an order without consulting us.
02:03Ramuya is also worried about the consequences of the exodus of pogo workers.
02:10There are many elements within the BID.
02:12They are still making money, but these people are still preparing.
02:18We know that this is a rice field of many corrupt elements within the BID.
02:26There will be a high-level meeting in Malacanang between the PAGOR, PAOC, Department of Justice,
02:33and other agencies to discuss the implementation of a total ban on pogos.
02:39This is one of the issues that will be discussed within the economic zones.
