00:00The leader of the Camera, who has nothing to do with politics, defended their investigation in Pogo and other crimes in the country.
00:09The Congressmen of the Quad Committee formed a meeting here.
00:13One of them is the former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:18Mela Lesmora is in the center of Balita Live.
00:22Next week, the Quad Committee of the Camera will be held.
00:28It will focus on the issues in Pogo and other crimes in the country.
00:34One of the Congressmen invited here is the former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:43In a press conference earlier, the leader of the Camera said that the Quad Committee, or four-panel committee,
00:51is a comprehensive focus on the crimes committed by the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators, or POGO,
00:58as well as the illegal drugs and extrajudicial killings committed by the current administration that are connected to each other.
01:08The Quad Committee includes the House Committee on Human Rights,
01:11the Committee on Public Order and Safety,
01:13the Committee on Public Accounts,
01:15and the Committee on Dangerous Drugs.
01:17Next week, the Quad Committee will hold a hearing.
01:20They will invite the former President Rodrigo Duterte,
01:24the former PNP chief,
01:26and now-Senator Bator de la Rosa,
01:28and other personalities connected to the Pogo and other crimes.
01:33According to the members of the Quad Committee,
01:35they have nothing to do with politics,
01:37and they just want the truth to be revealed and those who are guilty to be punished.
01:43In the middle of the Pogo ban,
01:45the idea of a revenue from the Pogo is being thrown here in the Camera.
01:52The Congressmen have different views on this.
01:55Let's listen to the part of the statement of the members of the Quad Committee.
02:00Any form of gambling promotes corruption.
02:04Congressman Akop is right that it is a social ill.
02:11Even if any form of gambling could provide some resources to the government,
02:18it is still a social ill.
02:20We cannot deny that.
02:22This is not politics.
02:24This is not related to political persecution.
02:27We are just doing our job so that we can fix the agencies of the government
02:34and the government officials who are left behind,
02:38who are entering the institutions.
02:41Even if this problem cannot be solved now,
02:44and it can be neglected,
02:46it will grow.
02:47Your children and our grandchildren are pitiful.
02:51Next, the Press Con.
02:53The hearing on the Pogo crimes is being held here in the Camera.
02:57This is the last time that the House Committees on Public Order and Safety
03:01and Games and Amusements are listening to the issue
03:04because next week, the Quad Committee will be held here.
03:07In an interview earlier,
03:09Public Order Chair Dan Fernandez mentioned the connection to China
03:13of the current issues that they are monitoring.
03:17In simple words, we are being fried in our own oil.
03:21All that is happening, that the Chinese are involved in,
03:24is something that we should not ignore.
03:28The President of our country, Ferdinand Bombong Marcos,
03:31is right.
03:32The pivotal decision of the President,
03:34turning not away from China, but in the middle,
03:37and put the primary interest of this nation first,
03:40deserves high respect and accolade.
03:44Salute!
03:45We may have been involved to these different elements of silent invasion
03:49without us knowing it.
03:52But now, we know.
03:55Enough!
03:56Let's stop this.
03:59This is not about money anymore.
04:02Not about power too.
04:04But this is about our freedom.
04:06But this is about our freedom.
04:36Thank you very much, Mela Alessmoras.
