00:00Some government officials are asking the POGO operators how to continue their operations in the country.
00:06That's the information that reached Senator Arisa Ontiveros.
00:09She plans to discuss this with the Senate hearing on Tuesday.
00:13And that's the first news of Mob Gonzalez.
00:15I hereby instruct PAGCORP to wind down and cease the operations of POGOs by the end of the year.
00:24Even the President himself has ordered the banning of POGO operations in the country.
00:29In a new statement by Senator Arisa Ontiveros,
00:32she said that some government officials are asking the POGO operators how to continue their operations in the country.
00:39We were told that there are government officials who are asking them to change their form, at least legally, like simple BPOs.
00:53As of now, no name has been given to the appointment of the Senator.
00:56But she said that she will make it public so that if it's true, they will stop it.
01:00Is that an obstruction of justice?
01:02If anything, why is it certain that there are accountabilities?
01:07And if the regulators themselves are asking for regulatory capture,
01:10they are violating a ban that was announced by SONA,
01:15an EO that was issued,
01:17in principle, the law that we will issue against POGOs,
01:21their accountability is heavier.
01:24Interior Secretary John V. Cremulia also issued to the Commission on Appointments
01:28that POGOs and SCUMHOBs have guerrilla operations.
01:32The biggest disguise that they are going through now is that they are applying for resorts and restaurants.
01:42So it is the power of the mayor to visit the establishments
01:47and make sure that what is going on is exactly what is intended.
01:52The illegal POGOs and SCUMHOBs have a different story.
01:56How about the SCUMHOBs that are not bothering to get business permits?
02:02That's a function of intelligence and that's a function of the special units of the Philippine National Police
02:10and the NBI to pursue and investigate and prosecute.
02:14Hon. Veros is convinced that there is still a big personality in POGOs like Alice Go.
02:19There are still big fish.
02:21And these big fish prove that POGO hubs are not stand-alone operations
02:28like what was proven by the Bamban POGO Hub and Porac POGO Hub.
02:34So the question of who are the big fish is still a live question.
02:40There is also new information that arrived to Hon. Veros
02:43about the Chinese spies in the Philippines through POGOs.
02:47This is one of the discussions in the last session of the Senate on POGOs on Tuesday.
02:53This is the first news.
02:54Mav Gonzales for GMA Integrated News.
