00:00Following the order of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to remove all POGOs in the country,
00:06the Senate passed a bill to support it.
00:10Here is Daniel Manalastas' report.
00:14There will be no POGOs left in the Philippines.
00:18That's what some senators want.
00:20Following the order of the President to ban POGOs,
00:24Senator Jovel Villanueva passed a bill
00:27to ensure that there will be no POGOs left in the country.
00:31Under Senate Bill 2752 of Villanueva,
00:34POGOs will be permanently revoked.
00:37There are even some that may be related to this.
00:40Yesterday, the Senate Committee on Women heard
00:42the question of Solicitor General Hingil about POGOs.
00:45Is it the opinion of SolGen that POGOs inside export processing zones,
00:53such as CESA and others, are also covered by the President's ban?
00:58Good morning, Madam Chair.
01:01In the statement made by the President of SONA,
01:08even though it is just one-liner,
01:11the policy statement he said is clear and has no qualifications
01:18that all POGOs are banned.
01:22In the Senate's investigation,
01:24the suspended Bambang Mayor, Alice Guo, still hasn't confessed.
01:29But if you ask Senate President Francis Escudero,
01:32if this is enough reason for the budget of PNP and NBI
01:36that Guo is still looking for POGOs.
01:38They won't be able to see the others.
01:41Again, again, this is not carrot and stick.
01:44You will be punished if there is a mistake,
01:46if the budget is not spent.
01:48We need to look at all the circumstances around that.
01:51My answer is yes.
01:53It is shameful for the PNP that this cannot be done.
01:57Especially that they are still here in the country,
02:01according to the Bureau of Immigration.
02:03According to SolGen Guevara,
02:04the case against Guo will continue whether he is seen or not.
02:09Guo is facing a co-oranto petition
02:12that he can remove from the public office.
02:14SolGen also said,
02:16if he is declared ineligible because of his foreign citizenship,
02:20Guo will not be allowed to run in the elections.
02:23Guo's remedy is naturalization.
