00:00The House Committee on Games and Amusement has approved the bill that prohibits fireworks in the country.

00:06But it is not yet clear where the law is.

00:09There is a new module that is being investigated by the Bureau of Immigration.

00:15Jonathan Andal is on the case.

00:20The motion is approved.

00:22The House Committee on Games and Amusement has approved the bill that prohibits fireworks.

00:29According to PAG-COR, there are already 27 fireworks that are operating.

00:33But it is already in the process of closing.

00:35According to DOLE, 30,000 Filipino firework workers are affected.

00:39DOLE has a program for them.

00:42Like this job fair earlier and tomorrow in a mall in Pasay.

00:45Which has more than 12,000 jobs for Filipino former firework workers.

00:5120,000 foreign firework workers have already been downgraded their visas.

00:55From working to being a tourist visa, according to the Bureau of Immigration.

00:59More than 10,000 of them have already left the Philippines.

01:02But a congressman has heard that there is a new module.

01:07There is a new module in the BI.

01:11It is called back-to-back racket.

01:14The firework workers who are going out in the Philippines,

01:17are also returned when the papers are fixed.

01:20Is that report true?

01:23We have to consult on this, Mr. Chair.

01:26Actually, this is the first time we came across that report.

01:29According to DOLE, they have already cancelled the 36,000 AEP,

01:34or Alien Employment Permit in POGO.

01:37And if there is still any left, it is considered expired.

01:39I would like to clarify a law.

01:42Is it also included in the POGO ban?

01:45Are the special class BPO, which are gaming companies, the client?

01:49As mentioned, this is an emerging type.

01:53It is also offshore.

01:55But it is not like how POGO is now.

02:01So, where we will draw the line,

02:05what will really be banned, and what will not.

02:08So, I think, Mr. Chair, that is one of the things that should be clear.

02:13Now, the committee has approved the bill against POGO.

02:16Next, it will be brought to the plenary for debate and vote.

02:21For GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal, for 24 Hours.
