00:15You can find out more in the news center of Melales Moras, live.
00:21Angelic, illegal activities and crimes committed by Pogo
00:26is expected to be the main topic of the investigation of the camera tomorrow.
00:31Today, various issues were also brought up by the judges in the last hearing.
00:40It was signed by the House Committee on Public Order and Safety Chair Dan Fernandez
00:45that the camera will start its investigation this Wednesday
00:49on the illegal activities and crimes committed
00:53by the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators of Pogo.
00:57According to Fernandez,
00:58the officials of PAGOR, DOJ, NBI, PNP, and Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission, or PAOC,
01:10as well as the bodies of various local governments, will be invited to the motu-propure inquiry.
01:15Despite the fact that PAGOR is the one giving the franchise to the Pogos,
01:20it is the responsibility of the LGUs to monitor them.
01:24We were requested or ordered by the speaker to investigate
01:30because we know that we have like 300 plus illegal Pogos.
01:35And basically, being the chairman of the Committee on Public Order and Safety,
01:41maybe comprehensively we will be trying to find out
01:45what are the criminal elements that were involved
01:49and who are the people involved there.
01:50For now, one of the personalities that is being investigated in Pogo
01:55is Suspended Bamban Tarlac Mayor Alice Goh.
01:58Will she also be invited to listen to the camera?
02:02We don't want to focus only on Alice Goh because it's too detailed.
02:07What we wanted to have details is the criminal activities that were conducted inside the Pogos.
02:14Well, if Pogo is illegal, the mayor should be responsible.
02:20He should know that there are illegal activities happening in his area.
02:26For the House Committee on Ways and Means, Joey Salceda,
02:30even before the investigation started,
02:33he has already thought of a way to resolve the problems in Pogo.
02:38And that is the implementation of the law.
02:43In this way, the violators will be caught and the beneficiaries of Pogo will be kept.
02:50If Camarines Sur Second District Representative El Rey Villafuerte will be the one to ask,
02:55it's not only Pogo that should be investigated,
02:58but also the system of illegally obtaining fake citizenship and immigration papers in the country
03:06that should be included.
03:09Before this, a few hearings were conducted in the camera
03:13like the Motto Proper Inquiry of the House Committee on Public Accounts
03:17regarding some controversies in some places in the country.
03:21May I remind everyone that providing truthful information to the committee is essential.
03:26The integrity of our investigation relies on accurate and honest testimonies.
03:31Misinformation hinders our ability to make informed decisions
03:36and undermines the trust that public places in our processes.
03:43Angelic, tomorrow we will be waiting for the hearing here in the camera
03:47regarding the crimes and illegal activities committed in Pogo.
03:51We expect that there will be other proceedings here in the camera tomorrow.
03:55And tomorrow, the activities here in the camera will be followed
04:01because on Wednesday, Friday, and even on the weekend,
04:05the country is locked down here in Batas
04:08as part of the preparation for President Marcos' third sona.
04:11And we expect that this lockdown will still be part of the steps
04:17to ensure the safety of President Marcos' sona.
04:21Angelic?
04:22Thank you very much, Mela Lesmora.
