00:00Together, we will be the winners!
00:16KTV Club, also known as Pugad din ng Prostitution, is part of the Pogo Hub in Porac, Pampanga.
00:24In the midst of the crimes of some Pogos, is it time to ban them in the Philippines?
00:30That is what we discussed with Barangay Saksi Online.
00:37Pogo's name is linked to crimes several times.
00:41According to the NBI, most of the more than a hundred Pogo-related crimes from November 2019 to March 2023 are human trafficking.
00:51There are also cyber crimes, fraud, and violence against women.
00:56That is why the suggestion to ban the Pogos was made.
01:00This was formally made by the House of Representatives and the Senate.
01:10We also asked the online supporters.
01:13There are many favors to remove the Pogos from the Philippines.
01:17Fix the facility and give it to the poor or make it a school or a hospital.
01:24One said, if the Philippines is not affected and it becomes a source of crime in the country, it should be removed.
01:33Another said, not only should the income be considered, but also our national security.
01:40A netizen also said that it does not pay the right taxes.
01:44Another asked, if Pogo is prohibited in their own country, why should it be allowed here?
01:50Another favor was to remove the Pogo, as long as the Filipinos are given a job, the job will be taken away.
01:57Someone also said that it is illegal to ban the surveillance.
02:03There are also rules to ban the Pogo when discussing the economy.
02:08It is better to investigate the foreign employees because there are those who have cases in their country.
02:15Another favor was that many are working in the legal Pogo like him.
02:21What should be fixed is the surveillance so that the unlicensed cannot operate.
02:27The Pag Corps said that even if it is prohibited, the Pogos will still operate secretly and it will be difficult to monitor them.
02:36The government will still lose P20 billion in income every year.
02:41The chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means of the Camera pointed out that the government's collection of Pogos increased in 2023 compared to 2022.
02:51So instead of a total ban, he recommended to phase out the illegal and unlawful Pogos.
02:59Defense Secretary Guevo Chadoro considered the Pogos as a national security threat.
03:06According to PAOC, there are more than 300 illegal Pogos in the country.
03:11They doubt that the local governments will not notice it.
03:15The Pogo operation is hard to hide.
03:18There are a lot of red flags, there are a lot of indicators that a building is a Pogo operation.
03:27The Pogo Hub in Porac, Pampanga has been in operation for 6 days.
03:32Today, it was seen inside the compound of Lucky South 99.
03:36The KTV club itself is being targeted by prostitution, according to the police.
03:41Aside from KTV, VIP and hotel rooms, there is also a billeting area or residence of entertainers, some of them are PIDAY based on the ID obtained.
03:50More uniforms of Chinese soldiers were found today.
03:56Yesterday, the military uniforms were found in an office.
04:00Now, here in the dormitory, the Pogo workers are sleeping here.
04:04Bullets and guns were also found, as well as medals such as this outstanding sergeant badge.
04:11A uniform has a patch that says airborne.
04:14A Chinese flag was also found.
04:16These are being verified by the Chinese embassy, according to PAOC or Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission.
04:22Let's not conclude that there are military personnel inside.
04:29This is still under investigation.
04:31We are not sure if these are original because we know that we can buy uniforms from shops.
04:39Even the NICA or National Intelligence Coordinating Agency says that there is no solid evidence that there are so-called sleeper cells in the country
04:48or a group that is undercover and ready to cause trouble at any time.
04:52But they should still be careful.
04:54We will check again who are the so-called possible sleepers.
04:59They are there on some legitimate business, but they also have other intentions or plans.
05:07So if there is a need, we work together with our operatives.
05:14Police have already entered this office of one of the illegal Pogo bosses.
05:19What I saw here is a bit different.
05:21Under their boss's table, there are GPS trackers.
05:26The police can't tell where these GPS trackers are for, who they are for, and where they are installed.
05:34Many vaults were also found, but a new search warrant is needed to open it.
05:40The DILG will form a task force to investigate the illegal Pogo in Porac.
05:48For GMA Integrated News, I am Jonathan Andal.
05:51I am Tina Panganiban Perez.
05:53Your Saksi.
05:56Before Saksi, the demand is increasing, so the farm gate price of chicken is also increasing, according to a group.
06:02How much is the price in the market?
06:04Saksi, by Bernadette Reyes.
06:11Jacqueline's family has 11 members, which is why the budget for food is heavy.
06:16Instead of pork, they usually sell chicken.
06:20The price is too high compared to chicken, which you can buy even half of it.
06:26In this market, there are also more stalls that sell chicken instead of pork.
06:32Chicken is cheaper.
06:34If it's all pork, the price will be doubled.
06:37We will lose money if it's all pork.
06:40In the monitoring of the Department of Agriculture,
06:43the price of chicken per kilo is from P160 to P220 per family in Metro Manila,
06:49while for pork, it can reach up to P420 per kilo.
06:54That is why Ms. Melinda is having a hard time getting rid of the meat sold by pork.
06:59The price of chicken is too high.
07:01The price of chicken in the market is also too high.
07:04That's why it's hard to sell.
07:06This is a good opportunity for chicken retailers to earn money.
07:10The market price is P165 and P180.
07:14According to the United Boiler Racers Association of UBRA,
07:17the buyers are looking for an alternative to pork, which is why the consumption of chicken is increasing.
07:22They feel that the demand for chicken's farm gate price is increasing.
07:26Last October to April, the price was from P90 to P95.
07:31Now, it can reach up to P125 per kilo.
07:35You can also see that the price of frozen inventory decreased.
07:39Both the local frozen inventory and the imported frozen inventory.
07:46The movement is fast.
07:48The price of frozen inventory decreased by several millions.
07:53The buyers are looking for an alternative to pork.
07:57They are looking for a cheap alternative.
08:00According to the Department of Agriculture,
08:02African swine fever is still a problem for hog racers.
08:06The high price of feeds is also a problem.
08:08That's why the price of pork is still high.
08:11If the supply of pork is low, the price will increase.
08:15The cost of production is also too high.
08:18That's what the Department of Agriculture is doing right now,
08:22on how we can lower the price.
08:24For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes is your witness.
08:35A few places were visited by the Red Sun cast to celebrate Independence Day.
08:40Barbie Forteza and David Licaco are one of the Mandaue City Hall Grounds in Cebu.
08:46Sania Lopez was the first to perform at the Batangas.
08:52Sparkle Artist and The Clash Grand Champion John Rex were also there.
08:57Dennis Trillo and Ashley Ortega were part of the program in Tarlac City.
09:03All Out Sunday star Marianne Osabel was also there.
09:07Alden Richards was one of the flag-raising ceremony in Davao City.
09:13The Libren Concert was also held tonight at Parada ng Kalayaan in the Carino Grandstand,
09:18where the BINI P-POP group performed.
09:29The God of Music No. 17 has a new milestone.
09:33They will need UNESCO's Goodwill Ambassador for Youth
09:37for a ceremony this month in Paris.
09:40According to UNESCO, they are like the commitment of SEVENTEEN
09:44to empower youth and to bring inspiration and support to the help of music and positive energy.
09:51One year ago, SEVENTEEN joined the 13th UNESCO Youth Forum in Paris
09:56where they gave the importance of participation of youth.
10:02More than a century has passed since the Philippines left Spain,
10:07but Japan and America also joined us.
10:10It was in 1946 that the Philippines returned to freedom after World War II.
10:16It has been almost eight decades since that year,
10:19but until now, it seems that the freedom for some Filipinos is still scarce.
10:25126th Independence Day ng Pilipinas.
10:28That's why 126 Sinig Labuyo should be included in this contest in Luneta earlier.
10:35Congratulations to all who finished.
10:38Okay.
10:39Congratulations to all who finished.
10:42Okay.
10:43Congratulations to all who finished.
10:46Congratulations to all who finished.
10:49Congratulations to all who finished.
10:52Congratulations to all who finished.
10:53Okay.
10:54There is an obstacle course.
10:57And a feast for Filipinos.
10:59Many took pictures in the monument of Jose Rizal.
11:02Rommel from Balikbayang joined.
11:05Everybody should salute him, right?
11:07You know, just pay our respect because they sacrificed themselves.
11:13President Bongbong Marcos and his family led the celebration on Independence Day in Bantayot, Rizal.
11:23Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte joined the officers of the police and military in Davao City.
11:35Chief Justice Alexander Gasmundo also raised the flag at the Battle of Pinaglabanan.
11:42The independence of the Philippines was declared in Kawitkawite on June 12, 1898.
11:48We asked some Filipinos, how can you say that you are truly free?
11:53The answer of an online fan is that there is freedom when we are able to move without fear in the places that we call our own.
12:01Freedom from corruption and poverty, some said.
12:05Many said, freedom from debt.
12:08Kyle said that he will be free from studying hard.
12:12I will soon be free from school.
12:14I will graduate.
12:16A netizen said that there is no freedom until many are hungry and the Filipinos are being abused.
12:22And another said, this is when you don't think about what others will say.
12:27You can also see here the development of yourself.
12:30There is a saying, there is freedom when you are not sick even if you meet him.
12:35As for RM, he is free.
12:38Free from what?
12:39From problems in life, from problems.
12:43What are the problems?
12:45You can share a little.
12:47Maybe I can say, love.
12:50There.
12:51You already moved on.
12:52I already moved on.
12:54While others say, even though they can say that they are more free to express their feelings,
12:59I hope there will be more equality for the members of LGBTQIA+.
13:07It is better to be free in a sense that it is legally protected.
13:13For GMA Integrated News, Jamie Santos is your witness.
13:25The 23-year-old triplet graduated at the same time in the season of gambling.
13:30They shared their experiences to achieve success.
13:36Alan James and Alan Michael Bersalona graduated in the course of agriculture.
13:41Alan Kyle is in the course of information technology.
13:44The siblings said that they did different jobs to support their studies.
