00:00Aside from Tarlac and Pampanga, they are also looking for illegal POGO operations in Southern Metro Manila.
00:06In the spread of these operations in the country, a senator asked,
00:10why the Anti-Money Laundering Council is not tracing the issuance of money related to POGO?
00:16Ma'am Gonzales was able to answer.
00:21Some places in Southern Metro Manila are saying that there might be illegal operations of POGO.
00:26Authorities are now monitoring this.
00:29Especially some POGO workers who escaped from Tarlac and Pampanga are now in Metro Manila.
00:56There's a lethal Chinatown in Multinational.
01:00But let's just stop this because there might be no criminal activities later on.
01:05They are also protesting in Cavite.
01:07In Cavite, we saw that a few months ago,
01:14but we were not able to verify the illegal activities in the area of Bacoor, in the area of Casmarinas.
01:20They believe that the NIA gateway is being used by POGO workers in the South.
01:25Senator Sherwin Gatchalian also thinks that the POGO hubs in Bamban, Tarlac and Porac, Pampanga
01:31are just near Clark International Airport.
01:34Aside from these, according to the PAOC or Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission,
01:39the marks of money laundering in POGO hubs in Bamban and Porac can be seen.
01:43Senator Gatchalian asked the Anti-Money Laundering Council or AMLC,
01:48why it is not tracing where the money came from and who received it?
01:53I express my disappointment to the AMLC because it is their job to find the source of money laundering.
02:00It is their job to find out who are the money launderers.
02:03The AMLC also does not know if the money from POGOs in the Philippines has been transferred to other countries.
02:09They cannot see that.
02:11They cannot see that.
02:12That is why the most basic thing for me is that the money entered and someone received it.
02:19If that is through our banking system, it has been passed electronically.
02:25If it is cash, as Ma'am said, someone should have received it.
02:30They did not detect that.
02:31Our estimate is 6.1 billion, but it can be more.
02:34We asked the AMLC for an explanation, but they still have no answer.
02:38According to the PAOC, Wang Jiyang, a Chinese fugitive, is still in the country.
02:42He is one of the so-called business associates in Baufo, suspended in Bamban, Mayor Alice Goh.
02:47When we checked the CCTV, he knew that the money will be transferred and he ran away.
02:54Maybe he was anticipating that he could steal the operating units with the PAOC,
02:59so he was only there for bungeeing.
03:02It's not that easy.
03:04A large group from Bamban, from Porac, and we are still here in Metro Manila.
03:10Following the raids in Pogo, PANCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro Tengco
03:15said that the syndicates are the real threat and not the legitimate and licensed POGOs.
03:21Law enforcement agencies should chase the underground alien hacking and scam syndicates.
03:27They are helping the authorities on this.
03:30PANCOR is monitoring POGOs who are paying taxes and giving jobs.
03:36The Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry is against POGOs, legal or not.
03:42Gambling is damaging families and businesses.
03:46POGO operators are the only ones who make money from it.
