00:00According to the Department of National Defense, Secretary Gilberto Chudoro,

00:05as a national security concern, the operation of the Pogos in the country is controversial.

00:13In the statement released yesterday by the DND, the secret service said that it is because of criminal syndicates

00:21that the Pogos are acting up.

00:26Did you hear the news that was released the other day?

00:29They raided Porak, Pampanga,

00:31and recovered the uniforms of the People's Liberation Army.

00:37Where did you see something like that?

00:39Pogos and soldiers of the Army of China.

00:44That's the uniform.

00:47What is that?

00:49Maybe the Pogos are the soldiers of the Army of China.

00:53Are we going to surrender?

00:55That's why the President said yesterday,

00:58let's not be afraid, let's join hands,

01:00let's unite and defend our country.

01:03The President already received that report.

01:06The weapons of the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army of China,

01:13they even have guns and bullets.

01:17They even have medals.

01:19There are a lot of Pogos here.

01:21And this is another painful one.

01:22What the Secretary said is right.

01:24What was it called?

01:26PAOK?

01:28PAOK?

01:29The one with General Cruz?

01:30Presidential Anti-Organized Crime?

01:32Do you know what he said?

01:34There are only 48 to 49 legal Pogos.

01:40But there are more than 300 illegal Pogos.

01:44Why are there more illegal Pogos than legal Pogos?

01:47The question now is,

01:49why are they able to operate?

01:51Mayor, do you know anything about that?

01:54Local Executive,

01:55there is no business that can be built in your area

01:58if the barangay chairman and the mayor don't know about it.

02:02Because there is a permit, there is a clearance.

02:05There is no business, there is no building that can be built

02:08if there is no clearance from the local executive.

02:10So the question now is,

02:12why are there more illegal Pogos than legal Pogos?

02:15Let me repeat,

02:16before we break,

02:17there are only 49 to 48 legal Pogos.

02:20There are more than 300 illegal Pogos.

02:22This means that there are a lot of people who benefit from this situation.

02:25And now, it looks like the Chinese soldiers are here.

02:29The recommendation of our Senators is right.

02:33After their Executive Session last week,

02:36Pogos are now a threat to national security.

02:38Pogos are now a threat to national security.

02:41That is why they are calling on President Marcos.

02:43We are just relaying what they are saying.

02:46They are saying that President Marcos should stop this Pogong.

02:49We are in danger here.

02:50And as Secretary Chudoro said,

02:56it is now a national concern for security.
