00:00Let's update on the deportation of almost 200 POGO workers today

00:04and the last 10 days before the deadline for the total POGO ban.

00:09Let's talk to the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission

00:11or PAOC Executive Director, Gilbert Cruz.

00:13Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.

00:16Good morning, Rafi and to all the listeners and viewers of our program.

00:22Good morning to all of you.

00:23Aside from the 200 POGO workers, is there anything else that needs to be deported?

00:27And do you have an idea of how many volunteers have left the country?

00:33Tomorrow, we will deport 12 Indonesians.

00:38And then next week, we will deport 43 Chinese.

00:42They will go to Xiamen.

00:44As to the number of deportees

00:50or those who left our country, the former POGO workers,

00:55there are a lot of them who left our country, Rafi.

01:01Until now, have you been able to monitor the operations of the POGO hub?

01:08Until now, we are still monitoring a lot of them.

01:13Because the former POGO workers, they just converted to small groups.

01:18Sometimes, they just divided into 2 or 3 groups.

01:22So, those are the ones we are monitoring.

01:25Most of them are still here in Metro Manila and in our provinces.

01:32But will these be closed before the end of the year?

01:37In my opinion, the others will not be closed but they will still operate guerrilla-style operations.

01:46But since we have monitoring and intel reports,

01:50maybe the local government units and our national agencies will help us.

01:57According to some reports, the deportees' wives and partners were just accompanied by their relatives

02:04and they did not really operate in the POGOs that were raided.

02:06What can you say about that?

02:08If that is what they are saying,

02:15they can say that.

02:19But during the time when their fathers were arrested,

02:24their children or their boyfriends,

02:28they were in the POGO hub operating without documents.

02:34During the time of the arrest, they were considered to have a violation of immigration laws.

02:41That's why they were included in the deportation.

02:44What are your plans for the children in your custody after their parents left the POGO workers?

02:51As of now, we are really supporting them.

02:57In fact, there was an increase because every time we are deported,

03:05there are people who are pregnant, have children, and have girlfriends.

03:12Earlier, there were people who were released.

03:16The previous 15 people, we might be able to help those 15 people.

03:23How long will you be able to help these children?

03:26Maybe until we can.

03:29We have a coordination with the DSWD.

03:34Maybe we will just talk about how to arrange this.

03:40We cannot let this go because we don't want to let this problem go.

03:49Thank you for your time on Balitang Hali.

03:53Thank you and good morning.

03:58Thank you Executive Director Yusef Gilbert Cruz.
