00:00Some senators are considering POGO members as a threat to the security of the country.
00:06That's why they urged the law enforcement agencies to look into the pursuit of syndicates involved in illegal POGO.
00:14Daniel Manalastas was in the center of the news.
00:20After the statement of Defense Secretary Gilbert Chodoro that the National Security Concerns
00:26is a scam hub or illegal POGO.
00:28For some senators, POGO is a national security threat and it needs to be addressed by the authorities.
00:34Senator Loren Legarda also urged to deport the mainland Chinese who operate illegal POGO,
00:40especially those involved in crime.
00:43For Senate President Francis Escudero, all illegal POGO should be closed,
00:48whether near or not to the military base of the country.
00:51As of now, according to Senator Joel Villanueva, the Senate is leading the fight against POGO
00:57that's why it's important to issue a committee report on this issue
01:00and recommendations to be discussed in the plenary session as soon as possible.
01:05Regarding the discovery of Chinese military uniforms in POGO in Porac, Pampanga,
01:11Senator Panfilo Lacson said in 2020 that he received an intelligence report
01:17regarding the discovery of sleeper cells.
01:20Ang nakakapangamba dito kasi I remember in 2020, I came out with an intelligence report
01:28although I would consider that report as A6.
01:31A6 because yung source na dati ko napagkukuna ng information,
01:36marami siyang information na talagang patok yung accurate.
01:40But yung mismong validation, hindi ma-validate yung sinasabi niya na
01:46At the time, 2020, there were around 2,000 PLA,
01:51parang sleeper cells ng PLA na nandito na sa Pilipinas. Nakakaworry.
01:57Sinabihan na rin daw niya noon ang armed forces na silipin ang informasyon
02:01sa gitnapan ng tensyon sa West Philippine Sea.
02:04Tingnan niyo ito kasi hindi makakaila na hindi naman tayo umabot sa panahon ng Japon.
02:10Pero I remember from the old folks, sinasabi nila,
02:15yung sari-sari store owner na Japon,
02:19biglang noong nagkagyera, noong ininvade ng Japon ng Pilipinas,
02:23kernel pala. May mga ganun.
02:25So, parang remembering that story,
02:30coming from my grandparents yata,
02:34na ganun ang nangyari noon, nagflashback sa akin na baka ganito rin to.
02:39Sabi naman ni National Security Advisor Eduardo Año,
02:42sa kasanukuyan, hindi nila tinitingnan ang Pogo bilang national security threat
02:47na kinakailangan na ang pagsali ng defense forces.
02:51Pero may turing daw itong national concern na maaaring tugunan ng mga otoridad.
