00:00Another resolution was signed by a senator to investigate the alarming increase of Chinese nationals in a village in Paranaque.

00:10In the resolution of Senator Rafi Tulfo, he also gave the record of 10 Chinese nationals being arrested inside a house in the village

00:20due to the violation of the Anti-Human Trafficking in Persons Act.

00:24It was also recorded that some houses in Paralangsana, in a family, are being raided by up to 40 individuals.

00:33According to Tulfo, sometimes he receives complaints from the homeowners of the village.

00:39And their area is a Chinese territory.

00:44The homeowners were the first ones to face the media,

00:47claiming that there are a lot of Chinese nationals in the area.

00:52Senator Sherwin Gatchalyan also signed a similar resolution.

00:56Yesterday, the Bureau of Immigration also recorded the arrest of 37 Chinese nationals

01:02who were also arrested in the village they are investigating,

01:05claiming that they were involved in illegal retail.

01:08From the point of view of Professor Antonio Contreras,

01:12it is now time to study whether it is right to declare Pogo as a national security threat.

01:18Although this is a dangerous discussion,

01:21because what needs to be studied here is what will be the basis of the police.

01:28Because if the president declares something as a national security threat,

01:33then every Pogo is a national security threat.

01:36The mere idea of a Pogo is a national security threat.

01:39And that might be true.

01:41But we don't want our president to be confused by not supporting the law.

01:45We don't want to have a situation where,

01:49because we want to protect our interests,

01:52we might be attacked, we might be stabbed.

01:57According to the expert, the solution is in the hands of the Congress,

02:01if they really want to make this illegal.

02:03But if the executive branch is moving,

02:06the executive branch needs to follow the law of movement.

02:09The executive branch cannot make the law.

02:13The president and all the executive branches are just following the law

02:18and the laws made by the Congress.

02:21We can easily pass the Pogo Law or criminalize it,

02:28because the Congress has the right and the power to make the law.

02:33The executive branch needs to follow the law.
