00:00Some government agencies expressed their support for the banning of Pogo from the country.

00:09This is a serious national concern of the National Security Council.

00:16Tina Panganiban-Perez was there.

00:21For the NSC, this is a very serious national concern.

00:26We have seen the extent of criminal activities being conducted in some of the IGLs and Pogo facilities,

00:34particularly human trafficking, cyber fraud, prostitution, etc.

00:41which to us has become a very serious national concern.

00:47All the red flags are already there.

00:49According to the Senate Committee on Ways and Means,

00:51some government agencies expressed their support for the banning of Pogo.

00:57According to the Department of Finance,

00:59more than Php 180 billion was lost to the country in one year due to the negative image of Pogo.

01:06This is more than the benefit of Php 167 billion.

01:11We have, for instance, foregone investment due to crime.

01:16We also have foregone revenues from tourism

01:20basically because of that negative picture of having Pogo activities in the Philippines

01:33may in fact affect the tourism industry.

01:37In another open letter, some groups called on President Bongbong Marcos

01:42to order the PAGCOR to cancel all licenses of Pogos who claim to be from China.

01:49It is illegal for any type of gambling in China.

01:52This is contrary to the regulations of the PAGCOR

01:55that prohibits any gaming websites in the Philippines from accessing the country where gambling is prohibited.

02:02Somebody is making a lot of money, but we've got to stop it.

02:06We are fooling ourselves.

02:08And if you are the president, this is the moment,

02:11this is the specific circumstance that the president should step in.

02:16Because the people below, the PAGCOR is under the office of the president.

02:20He has to stop it.

02:22For the GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganiban Perez,

02:26That's all. 24 hours.
