00:00More than 1,600 Pogo workers are blacklisted or unable to return to the Philippines
00:07after they were deported, according to PAOK.
00:10Here are the more than 30 Chinese who were deported earlier,
00:13after being caught by the Pogo in Pasay and Tlalac.
00:16Witness, Sally Marefra.
00:22This baby was born in the Philippines,
00:24but he was deported, like his parents, to China.
00:28He was with his parents in 33 Chinese nationals
00:32who were caught by the Pogo in Pasay and Bambantarlac.
00:35Because youth sanguinis is the basis for the nationality of the baby,
00:39the nationality of his parents will be the next,
00:42and not the place of birth.
00:45If your parents are both Chinese, you are Chinese.
00:48Technically, all of them will be treated as criminal suspects in China,
00:52so they will all be charged criminally in China.
00:54Blacklisted and unable to return to the Philippines,
00:57more than 1,600 Pogo workers were deported.
01:01As the closure of the Pogos in the country is nearing its end,
01:04the government is talking to foreign Pogo workers
01:07where the country should go instead of being caught in the operation
01:11and be deported back to their countries.
01:14Deportation is a big thing,
01:16especially since the government is already spending PHP 25 million
01:20to take care of those caught in the Pogo raids.
01:23We don't want a humanitarian crisis.
01:26They might say that we are not observing the human rights of these people.
01:30But a justice secretary reviewed the first order of the Bureau of Immigration.
01:36We will clarify with the immigration people
01:39what are the rules that we should follow.
01:41Because it should be in consonance with the December 31 deadline.
01:46We don't want people to be panicking
01:49because they gave an order without consulting us.
01:52He is also aware of the current plans for the exodus of Pogo workers.
01:58There are a lot of elements within the BID.
02:00They are still making money.
02:02The Chinese are still preparing.
02:04We know that this is just a cover-up.
02:07There are a lot of corrupt elements within the BID.
02:09For GMA Integrated News, I'm Nima Refranca.
02:13Your Saksi.
