00:27At his State of the Nation address yesterday,
00:29President Bongbong Marcos announced a ban
00:32and will close the Pogos in the country.
00:35As well as what he discussed about the West Philippine Sea
00:38and the government's commitment to the problem of drugs,
00:41economy, and agriculture.
00:43Breaking news from Ivan Mayrina.
00:49The violence and crimes committed by the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator Pogo
00:54cannot continue.
00:56According to President Bongbong Marcos.
00:58All Pogos are banned.
01:01I hereby instruct PAGCOR to wind down
01:04and cease the operation of Pogos by the end of the year.
01:10The Labor Department.
01:11Employees are being forced to quit their jobs.
01:14This chaos must be stopped in our society
01:18and in our country.
01:22Disguising as legitimate entities
01:25their operations have ventured into illicit areas
01:28furthest from gaming.
01:30Such as financial scamming, money laundering,
01:32prostitution, human trafficking,
01:34kidnapping, brutal torture, even murder.
01:37President Marcos also made a loud statement
01:40about the West Philippine Sea.
01:42The West Philippine Sea
01:44is not only our own thoughts.
01:47This is ours.
01:56And this will remain ours
01:58as long as the spirit of our beloved country, the Philippines, is alive.
02:06We will continue to fight for our rights
02:08in a fair and peaceful way
02:10and through free diplomatic channels.
02:13Our defense will grow stronger
02:15and we will find ways
02:16to de-escalate or reduce tensions.
02:19I know that our neighbors too
02:20are doing their best to make this work.
02:24The Philippines cannot yield.
02:26The Philippines cannot waver.
02:54When it comes to the campaign against drugs
02:57by the President,
02:58he called it an effective bloodless war on drugs.
03:01The President offered more than 44 billion pesos
03:04in the amount of drugs that were used in the operations
03:06and a 79% conviction rate.
03:24The President also encouraged
03:27the various administrations
03:29to regulate the economy,
03:31employment,
03:33el Nino and Calamidad,
03:35to take care of the OFWs,
03:37to strengthen tourism,
03:39infrastructure, and more.
03:41More than 200,000 jobs
03:43will be affected by the various investment pledges
03:45obtained by the administration.
03:47The President also offered
03:48to increase the minimum wage
03:49that has been passed
03:50in various parts of the country.
03:52He also hopes to increase the minimum wage
03:54and increase the allowance
03:55for government workers.
03:56For our government officials,
03:59they can expect a medical allowance
04:02as an additional benefit
04:04for the next year.
04:06There will also be an increase
04:08in the salary they will receive
04:10in the four tranches.
04:12We have already set up a fund
04:15for this from this year
04:17and for the next years.
04:19In the education sector,
04:21the President also set up a fund
04:22for the Expanded Career Progression System
04:24for public school teachers.
04:26With this system in place,
04:28we will accelerate
04:29the career growth of teachers.
04:31In this system,
04:32there will be no more public school teachers
04:34who will retire
04:36as Teacher 1 only.
04:40The problem of textbooks
04:42that should be up-to-date
04:43and error-free
04:44is now being solved.
04:45The low proficiency level
04:46that many students
04:47in information literacy,
04:49problem solving,
04:50and critical thinking.
04:51This will be the challenge
04:53in our new era
04:55to ensure the development
04:57and improvement of the quality
04:59of education in the country
05:00in the near future.
05:02It is also important for students
05:04to have access to electricity
05:05and internet.
05:06That is why the infrastructure
05:08for internet connectivity
05:09is being strengthened.
05:10Especially in Datusong 2022,
05:12only 20.6 million
05:14or 77% of the households
05:16in the Philippines are connected.
05:18In addition to strengthening the internet,
05:20cyber defense will also be strengthened.
05:22The President will not stop
05:24in addressing the high price of rice,
05:26particularly the price of rice
05:28which is still 45 to 65 pesos per kilo.
05:31Anya,
05:32no matter how good the statistics are,
05:34this is not a problem
05:35if people do not feel it.
05:37We do not neglect
05:39your weak and difficult experiences.
05:42Ani is high,
05:43but it is still not enough
05:44compared to the consumption of Filipinos.
05:46That is why it needs to rise.
05:47However,
05:48the local production will still be strengthened.
05:50The administration also suggested
05:52that under the 2025 budget,
05:54there will be additional benefits
05:56for pregnant women and mothers
05:57under the Pantawid Pamilyan Pilipino Program
05:59of 4Ps.
06:01Anya also said that all provinces
06:03will have sufficient centers and facilities
06:05to provide medical services
06:07to those in need.
06:09Each province will target
06:10to provide a mobile primary care clinic.

06:17Welcome to Total Pogo Ban
06:19ordered by President Bongbong Marcos.
06:21We are talking to
06:22PAGCOR Assistant Vice President
06:23for External Communications,
06:24Catalino Alano Jr.
06:26Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.
06:29Good morning.
06:30Sir, did President Bongbong Marcos
06:32have any consultation
06:34with PAGCOR
06:35before announcing his total ban?
06:39The President consulted
06:41with many sectors
06:43including PAGCOR
06:45in his consultation
06:48to reach his decision.
06:50I see.
06:51What will be the first step of PAGCOR
06:53to reach the target
06:55that by the end of the year,
06:57Pogo should be completely abolished?
07:00Our priority now
07:03is to immediately have assistance
07:06from DOLE
07:09and our economic managers
07:11to study
07:13how to mitigate
07:15the loss of jobs
07:17if we ban Pogo.
07:19There are 20,000 people
07:21working in Pogo.
07:22Will it be possible
07:24by the end of the year
07:26to give jobs
07:27thanks to DOLE?
07:29And of course,
07:30the shutdown of Pogo.
07:35That is what PAGCOR
07:37and DOLE
07:39and our economic managers
07:42are trying to do.
07:44We hope that all of us
07:46will be safe
07:47and no one will lose their livelihood.
07:50Yes.
07:51Just to clarify,
07:53Pogo is now called
07:56Internet Gaming Licenses.
07:59Is this included?
08:01Is this the only thing
08:03that Pogo will remove
08:05along with IGL?
08:07That is what we are accepting.
08:12There is no longer
08:14a technical Pogo
08:16because that was
08:17under the previous administration.
08:19Under the current administration,
08:21we have changed the system
08:23and we now call it
08:25Internet Gaming Licenses.
08:28Okay.
08:29Internet Gaming Licenses or Pogo.
08:31So we will not have
08:33anything technical
08:35because of the name.
08:37No.
08:38Okay.
08:39As we speak,
08:40as far as we know,
08:42there are 43 Pogo licenses
08:45in the country.
08:47Is that still the number
08:48or did it increase?
08:50That is still the number
08:51of our licensees.
08:53But aside from that,
08:54we have 20 service providers.
08:57So that is also included
08:58in the affected.
09:00Did you notice them
09:02after the SONA?
09:04Did they call you?
09:06What did you do?
09:08We are still doing
09:10the necessary paperwork.
09:12We will inform formally
09:14our licensees
09:16regarding the decision
09:18of the President.
09:20We cannot do it
09:22that fast.
09:24But they already know
09:26that they surely
09:28watched the
09:30statement of the President.
09:32Alright.
09:33Thank you very much
09:34for your time, Sir.
09:35Thank you.
09:36Okay.
09:37Welcome.
09:38Thank you too.
09:39That was Paco,
09:40Assistant Vice President
09:41for External Communications,
09:42Catalino Alano, Jr.
10:02Thank you.
