00:00The Pag Corps will follow the President's order to gradually remove the POGOs from the country.
00:06Some lawmakers, however, lack the President's statements on the price to buy and the increase in the salary.
00:13Witness, Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:18Effective today, all POGOs are banned.
00:23This is the surprise announcement of President Bongbong Marcos to his third son.
00:31Until this year, he only gave to the Pag Corps to remove the POGOs from the country.
00:36The Pag Corps will follow the President's order.
00:39For six months, we will do everything to study on how we can remove them slowly.
00:46We will explain to the legal persons who have the license.
00:51According to the Pag Corps chairman, there are 43 legal POGOs where more than 40,000 Filipinos live.
00:59These are not included in the indirect and ancillary services that are also earned from POGOs.
01:06The President also said that he is ordering to prepare training programs
01:14so that the Filipinos who will be displaced will have a chance to find a new life.
01:24Labor Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma said they will find a way to give jobs to the affected POGO workers.
01:32Senator Riza Ontiveros is leading the investigation of the Senate on POGOs
01:38and the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission is happy with the President's decision.
01:43The NEDA, our finance department, has already conducted studies on the Filipinos who will be displaced
01:55in the removal of POGOs.
01:57I think there will be an adjustment.
02:00This is a success for the women and children who protested, for the whistleblowers who protested.
02:08This is an important success for those mothers.
02:12This was also criticized by other mothers and even some in the opposition.
02:16The removal of POGOs is positive for me because we are the ones who are leading
02:22and we are very vocal in removing or banning this.
02:27This work still needs to be addressed for our fellow Filipinos.
02:32But they also criticized the President's other remarks, particularly on the price of rice
02:38and the lack of minimum wage.
02:40The per-region increase in wage is not enough.
02:43That's why we filed a national minimum wage.
02:46But until now, the President is avoiding it.
02:50We really want to tell the President to walk the talk.
02:55Why? Because what they're saying about the price of rice,
02:59what they're doing is very manipulative.
03:02Even if you increase the minimum wage, it will still not be a solution.
03:08For Senate President Jesus Codero, the President's zone has become honest and comprehensive.
03:15His remarks discussed many important things that the Filipino people feel.
03:21And I was also pleased that he prioritized his contribution to agriculture,
03:27the price of rice, and he ended it with the removal of POGOs.
03:33For GMA Integrated News, I'm Sandra Aguinaldo, your witness.
03:39My fellow Filipinos, let's be witnesses together.
