00:00 The Senate panel investigating the illegal activities of Philippine offshore gaming operators in the country
00:06 has asked the National Security Council to help convince President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to ban Pogos.
00:12 The statement comes after Senator Riza Ontiveros led an executive session Wednesday, June 5,
00:17 on the illegal activities of Pogos and their alleged link to Bambantarlac Mayor Alice Guo.
00:23 "I hope they bring this up to the President so that they can talk about Pogo as a national security threat."
00:32 The meeting was done in an executive session where, in principle, discussions should be confidential.
00:38 The Pogos were raided due to complaints of human trafficking and love scams.
00:42 Senators found out that surveillance activities and even the hacking of government websites
00:47 were traceable to the Pogo firms in Bamban.
00:50 Senators are probing Guo's alleged involvement in the two illegal Pogos, Hongsheng Gaming Technology and Dunyuan Technology.
