00:00The government has now agreed to the cancellation of thousands of Philippine birth certificates
00:06of foreigners and the acquisition of properties that they illegally bought
00:11in accordance with the Total POGO Ban in the country.
00:14The Camera has plans to speed up the process,
00:17especially according to the OSG,
00:19to work for a long time and to spend money for this government.
00:24Salima Refrat has the floor.
00:30Under the implementation of the Total POGO Ban and the removal of POGO workers,
00:34the Office of the Solicitor General will now follow the cancellation
00:39of the 5,000 Philippine birth certificates acquired by foreigners in the country.
00:44They will also get favors from the government for the illegally bought properties and properties.
00:48In the case of fraudulent birth certificates, we are talking of thousands of such cases.
00:56In the case of civil forfeiture, we also know that many POGO assets were discovered
01:04that were apparently illegally acquired.
01:06One of these is the cancellation of the birth certificate of former Bamban Taralac Mayor Alice Guo.
01:12The sister of Guo, Sheila, is also facing the cancellation of the birth certificate.
01:17And the older sister of former Duterte Presidential Economic Advisor Michael Yang, Tony Ya.
01:24According to the OSG, to work for a long time and to spend money for the government
01:30is the cancellation of the birth certificates.
01:33Imagine if we will cancel the fraudulent birth certificates of thousands of people.
01:40Each one of them will have to go through a court process.
01:45The Camera has proposed bills to make the cancellation of the birth certificate
01:49an administrative proceeding so that it does not need to go through the court.
01:53There is also a bill to speed up the process of forfeiture of the properties bought by these foreigners
02:00using fraudulent papers.
02:03Senator Riza Ontiveros, who led the hearings on the illegal activities of POGO,
02:09hopes that a more comprehensive law will be passed against POGO.
02:14It should also work to obtain the properties used by POGO in favor of its victims
02:20and survivors of human trafficking.
02:22According to the Anti-Financial Account and Scamming Act,
02:26six corporations have now initiated preservation orders by the government for POGO properties
02:32in Bambantarlak, Borac, Pampanga, Pasay in Metro Manila, and Lapu-Lapu, Cebu.
02:38The Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission of Paok
02:41continues to investigate these and the possible hidden ones.
02:46But there are still many of us who are being investigated.
02:49It is being said that it is hidden in other companies, hidden in other names.
02:56Some Filipinos used it so that the owners of the properties would come out.
03:02These are the cases and people in the government that were used to legalize the activities of POGO operators.
