Transcript
00:00Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Juan Ponce Enrile called the Executive Order of former President Rodrigo Duterte
00:08to allow POGOs in the Philippines.
00:11The POGOs' organization is also involved in the investigation of the PAOCC,
00:16former Presidential Spokesperson Atty. Harry Roque.
00:20Tina Panganiban-Perez has the first news.
00:23In front of Atty. Harry Roque during a camera interview about the POGOs,
00:30he was asked to leave the house in Benguet,
00:33which was raided due to a possible connection to the POGOs,
00:36where two foreigners were arrested.
00:39The PAOCC said that one of the arrested was wanted for widespread fraud in China
00:46and fraud with almost 200,000 people.
00:50I don't know these two people.
00:53I admit that I have an interest in the corporation that owns the house.
00:58With this development, sir, we will include former Spokesperson Harry Roque in our investigation.
01:06Cassandra Lee Ong will be the first to be interviewed by the camera committee.
01:12Ong is the so-called bodyguard of the Lucky South 99 POGO in Porac, Pampanga,
01:17who was accompanied by Roque to the PAOCC to ask questions
01:21about the unremitting payment of the company.
01:25Aside from the joint hearing of the House Committee on Public Order and Safety
01:29and the House Committee on Games and Amusement,
01:31the camera also plans to conduct an inspection of the POGOs.
01:35Some of the camera leaders are expected to be here.
01:39Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Juan Ponce Enrile also attended the hearing
01:44where he said that he is in agreement with the POGO ban
01:47that President Bongbong Marcos declared.
01:50I will kick out POGO in this country.
01:52POGO is a money laundering operation.
01:56He was accompanied by his son, the Administrator and Chief Executive Order
02:00of the Cagayan Economic Zone Authority, or CESA,
02:03which claimed that there are POGOs there.
02:06I want to categorically state that there are no POGOs
02:13in the Cagayan Special Economic Zone and Freeport.
02:18There is also a comment from the Executive Order No. 13
02:22of former President Rodrigo Duterte
02:25regarding the regulation and licensing of gambling and online gaming facilities.
02:31It was ill-advised. They did not understand it well.
02:35My God, POGO was banned by Cambodia, banned by many countries in Central Asia,
02:42and we adopted it here.
02:45And why is it that until now,
02:49you have POGOs in Bambang and Borac
02:54and without Pagkor being able to control them?
03:01Is that a wise decision, wise activity?
03:09Do you believe that Executive Order No. 13
03:12that was issued by the former President Rodrigo Duterte was a mistake?
03:16Yes, sir.
03:18Okay.
03:20Because all the powers was transferred to Pagkor?
03:26Yes, sir.
03:27This is the first news.
