00:00The Senate inspected some companies and their clients,
00:03gaming companies from other countries.
00:06Of course, to make sure that the companies in the Philippines
00:10won't be able to use their monitors to return their phones.
00:12Watch Ian Cruz!
00:18The Senate Games and Amusement Committee wants to know
00:21what kind of operation these special class VPOs are in Pasay City.
00:26Especially since their clients are gaming entities from other countries.
00:29Do the Senators suspect that POGO is using them?
00:34To make sure that POGO won't be able to return their phones,
00:37we also want to know what are the legal and business process outsourcing
00:43that the Filipinos are hiring.
00:45Since the clients are gaming companies,
00:47they are under the PAG-GOR,
00:49unlike other VPOs that are under DTI.
00:52But their role is not in the game itself,
00:56but only in the administrative, customer service, or marketing.
01:00There is no involvement in betting.
01:04There is no betting involved.
01:10A client in Australia was the first VPO to be visited.
01:13In the UK and US, the clients were the second VPO to be visited.
01:17PAG-GOR hopes to continue the operation of special class VPOs
01:22where the unemployed can also move to POGO.
01:27There are 5,000 employees of special class VPOs in the country.
01:3195% of them are required to be Filipinos.
01:35That's why PAG-GOR wants them not to be included
01:38in the execution of the executive order for the POGO ban.
01:42I don't want to be the leader of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
01:47I have a personal gut feel.
01:48There is a big chance that I won't be included in the execution.
01:56The Senate will talk about it.
01:58But from what I saw earlier in the special class VPO,
02:05they are not doing anything illegal.
02:07As of August 31, more than 28,000 Filipinos
02:10are the latest number to lose their jobs.
02:13PAG-GOR assured that POGO is no longer in the country.
02:17On January 1, 2025, according to the President's Directive,
02:22There is a program that DOLE is doing right now.
02:25They are doing job matching.
02:28They can apply for jobs that will be matched by DOLE.
02:35For GMA Integrated News, I am Ian Cruz, your witness.
02:40Mga Kapuso, let's be witnesses together.
