00:00The number of children who are likely to be separated from their parents continues to increase.
00:04Now, the deadline for the closure of the POGO is over.
00:07Some POGO workers are just waiting to be deported.
00:10A step according to the authorities is necessary.
00:12And it is possible that it will be the first step for their legal reunion in the future.
00:18How?
00:19We will find out in the special report of Salima Refran.
00:26It is very difficult because my husband is not with me.
00:29Especially when I feel that I am sick.
00:33When I check up, my husband is not with me.
00:40Chloe has been taking care of her for 7 months.
00:42Her name is not confirmed yet.
00:43But she is still working in the Pauk Detention Facility in Pasay.
00:48Her father does not give up on her.
00:51Even if she can be deported, she will return to China at any time.
00:55I hope that we can help my husband to be released if there is a chance.
01:03Her mister is with the detainees in a POGO raid and is facing immigration violations.
01:11To be honest, I don't know what will happen to my son because he will grow up without a father.
01:15My children have no father beside us.
01:19But more than that, her husband is worried about the possible judgment of the society towards their son.
01:25It will be hard.
01:27When the father of the child finds out that he is Chinese,
01:31they think that the father is a POGO worker.
01:35I'm very scared because I love her.
01:41I'm scared of how she will live.
01:45And I'm scared that my baby doesn't have a father.
01:51Don't help me to take care of them.
01:55The government of Ujo is doing everything they can to prevent their separation.
01:59Meanwhile, a lawyer introduced her.
02:03I promised my lawyer that I will help my husband to be released.
02:09He is not a POGO worker.
02:13He is just an accomplice.
02:15We saved 2 million pesos.
02:19That's why we don't have any money left.
02:23But even outside of this mode, the authorities are convinced that they might be victims of this incident.
02:31Maybe her father is also a victim because he didn't know that he was a POGO worker.
02:37Maybe her mother is also a victim because she fell in love with a POGO worker.
02:43Especially the child.
02:45She didn't know anything and she was left alone because her father had to be deported.
02:51But the father still needs to be held accountable, just like other POGO workers.
02:55Yes, they will be separated from their families here.
02:59But it is possible that they will be able to move forward in their legal process.
03:04They just need to be given a warrant.
03:07After that, if the state sees that there is a pool to lift the blacklist, it can happen.
03:12The blacklist lifting is a process of the Bureau of Immigration where the name of the person deported to the blacklist will be removed.
03:21Or the list of names that will no longer be allowed to enter the Philippines.
03:27What is the impetus of the person who was deported or his loved ones in the country?
03:31They can state that they have family here in the Philippines.
03:33It will still undergo verification.
03:36But the person must be given a prescriptive or a long blacklist.
03:42It depends on the violation because there are 5 years, 10 years.
03:46This is only considered if there are valid grounds, reasonable grounds for them to enter, re-enter.
03:55But while there is no guarantee, the state is reminding the children.
03:59In fact, there are 24 Pugo babies or children of Pugo workers who are from abroad
04:06who are supported by the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission or PAOC.
04:10When the family approached us, the mother said that you deported the father.
04:17On the other hand, it is our obligation as a human being to support them.
04:23There is no separate budget for this, even if Pugo babies are being helped for their milk, diapers, hospitals, and others.
04:32The PAOC is the body of the Social Welfare Department for now.
04:36Our savings in our operational expenses, which sometimes exceeds, we get from there.
04:43In every battle, the victims do not disappear.
04:46These children are collateral damage to a larger, darker industry that has brought all kinds of crime to the country.
04:54And in closing the story of the Pugos, let's not forget the victims who were left behind.
