00:00The PNP reminded the police that they are being neglected, especially those who are allowing the operation of illegal fireworks in their area.
00:13This is what Patrick de Jesus said.
00:22These are incidents of torture.
00:24These are just a few of the illegal activities that were discovered in the alleged illegal fireworks scam farm in Porak, Pampanga, Kamakailan.
00:33This is also what was reported in another illegal fireworks in Bambantarlak.
00:38First, more than 50 police officers were arrested in Bambantarlak.
00:43While in Porak, Pampanga, the chief and provincial director were removed from their positions while investigating
00:50as to why there was an early operation of illegal fireworks that led to an incident of murder involving foreigners.
00:59Why did we remove the provincial director and the chief of police?
01:03Because there were killings there that were not properly investigated.
01:09It is not normal.
01:11In other things, why should there be foreigners dying there?
01:17For that one, they should be investigated.
01:20Where did this come from?
01:22It is not natural for them to do that.
01:26They should know.
01:28Then why do we need to relieve all these people?
01:32Again, there are unfounded bodies.
01:35In addition, the PNP reminded the Pabayang Police of their duty.
01:41Finally, the regional director of Central Luzon Police was also investigated,
01:46which is located in Porak and Bamban where illegal fireworks were discovered.
01:52There is really no protector.
01:54We have our integrity monitoring group that checks on our people.
02:01I guess what we are chasing is inefficiency in our police.
02:05Why was this incident not investigated and reported to the headquarters?
02:11What you are saying is right.
02:13We are investigating the regional director and the reports that were not properly acted on.
02:20We put accountability on the regional directors, especially those.
02:26While the 2025 midterm elections are approaching,
02:29the DILG will monitor the possibility of using Pogo money in the campaign of some politicians.
02:37Well, Alice Go has been elected.
02:42Actually, there could always be that possibility of illegal means,
02:49illegal Pogo, illegal wetting, or illegal isabong.
02:58And even illegal drugs, narco-politics.
03:03All of these things could possibly affect an election.
03:10Meanwhile, the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission confirmed
03:15that one of the persons of interest in the illegal fireworks in Porak
03:18was blocked at Davao International Airport.
03:23Yesterday, the Chinese foreign minister, Zhang Ji,
03:29who is one of the managers of Lucky South 99,
03:33went out of the Philippines.
03:34He will return to Manila to be under the custody of the Immigration Bureau.
03:38According to PAOC, there is no Immigration Bulletin Lookout for persons of interest in illegal Pogo.
03:45But they are communicating with the Bureau of Immigration
03:48to make sure that they will not be able to leave the country.
03:52If they attempt to leave the Philippines,
03:54we will inform the Immigration Commissioner.
03:58The Immigration Commissioner will inform the Commission and the PAOC.
04:03Then we will see if we have enough legal ground to hold and offload them.
04:07If there is, they will be sent directly to Bicutan.
