00:00Some senators urged the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation or PAG-CORP to name the former member of the Cabinet who gave a license to some illegal pogos.
00:12That's what Daniel Malalasta wrote.
00:16That's the name.
00:17Senators in PAG-CORP called after their statement that a former high-ranking government official,
00:23formerly a member of the Cabinet, is now working for POGO.
00:27The system is that the former Cabinet official is helping some illegal pogos,
00:32even though the former Cabinet official was not named.
00:36Senate President Francis Escudero said that if PAG-CORP will not name him,
00:41he should be removed from the investigation conducted by Senator Sherman Gatchalian and Senator Arisa Hontiveros.
00:47Gatchalian is one of those who will be found in the next hearing held on July 10.
00:54If he will name this person, he should give his information.
01:01Not only his name, but also the documents containing his name.
01:07He should be removed from the investigation so that their connections to various branches of the government and the Cabinet will not be affected.
01:18According to Senator Sonny Angara, there is nothing wrong if this is legal.
01:23It shows that PAG-CORP is really doing something.
01:28That's why they are getting support from the former officials.
01:33That's what should be monitored by any regulator,
01:38whether it's the police, PAG-CORP, or local governments.
01:42I hope they will not be influenced.
01:44According to Senator Arisa Hontiveros,
01:46no matter who the ex-Cabinet official is,
01:48the truth remains that the POGO is used as a shield against scams or scam hubs.
01:57Senator Joel Villanueva asked,
01:59is the revelation of PAG-CORP enough to ban POGO in the country?
02:04Because they will not only enter businesses, but also those in the government.
