00:00 The recommendation of the Senate Committee on Wages means that all Philippine offshore gaming operators or POGO should be exempted from the Philippines.

00:07 Ten senators approved the committee report that will go far.

00:11 The Senate resolution to remove the executives that are now POGOs.

00:15 The chairperson of the committee, Senator Sherry Gatchalian, said that more than 4,000 POGO related crimes were committed since 2017 until June this year,

00:26 based on the PNP's statistics.

00:28 Gatchalian hopes that he will get enough votes to remove the POGOs.

00:33 The committee report will be discussed next week.

00:37 Other senators are also convinced that POGOs should be removed from the Philippines because of their impact on the safety of Filipinos.

00:44 Less than 1% impact on GDP, less than 1% impact on our collections.

00:53 Because if the peace and order is affected,

00:58 I said that they can leave.

01:02 Senator Risa Ontiveros said that no one will be ashamed if POGOs are removed from the country because it's all crime and it's a violation of women's rights.

01:15 According to Senator JBR, the legal POGOs will be given up to three years of face out.

01:21 Senator Amy Marcos did not agree with the committee report because she wants to study this first.

01:28 What I'm afraid of is that it will just be a waste of time because we know that there are big people behind POGOs.

01:37 Not only big people, but also our government.

01:43 Because of this, it is important to really give strength and power to whoever will catch POGOs.
