00:00The deadline for foreign POG workers to leave the country voluntarily lapsed two weeks ago.

00:05Tens of thousands have paid heed and left, while thousands have opted to stay and go under the radar.

00:11PTV's Ryan Leziguez fills us in with the rest.

00:16The Department of the Interior and local government assured all local chief executives

00:21who dare arbor and allow POG operations in their areas will be held accountable.

00:25According to DILG Secretary Junvik Rimulya, they have started monitoring areas

00:29particularly subdivisions with reports of guerrilla operations by shuttered

00:34POG establishments in the country. In fact, just last week,

00:37hundreds of suspected POG workers were arrested in Barangay Tambo, Paranaque City.

00:41These workers were not only operating illegally but were also engaged in scamming activities.

00:46Authorities raided the area after the Bureau of Immigrations Intelligence Unit

00:50received information about scamming operations targeting victims from other countries.

01:00Following this, Rimulya ordered all local chief executives to closely monitor

01:28and scrutinize their areas to prevent illegal POG operations.

01:48The DILG warned any LGU official found allowing their area

01:52to become a haven for POG operations will be held liable.

01:59The Bureau of Immigration had earlier warned that even companies may face charges

02:16and be held accountable if proven to aid and abet foreigners in staying in the country.

02:21Currently, around 11,000 illegal aliens who were former POG workers in the country

02:26are being sought. Before the end of 2024, the DILG announced there will be no more

02:30POG operations in the country from here on, in line with the ultimatum given

02:35by President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr.
