00:00Not only did the number of Filipinos who were included in the POGO not reach half,

00:05but they also voluntarily downgraded their working visas according to the Bureau of Immigration.

00:11Those who did not reach the deadline yesterday were sent back to the country at an earlier time.

00:17Dano Tingkungco is back.

00:22The deadline of the Bureau of Immigration was passed yesterday, October 15,

00:26to voluntarily downgrade the working visas of all POGO employees.

00:32But according to the BI, of the more than 30,000 POGO workers,

00:36less than half or 12,000 only volunteered to exchange temporary visitor visas.

00:43Of those who downgraded, 17 were caught in a scam hub in Makati.

00:50According to the Bureau of Immigration,

00:52POGO foreign workers who voluntarily downgraded their work visas

00:56will be given time to finish any pending business in the Philippines.

01:01They automatically get 59 days to wind down their affairs.

01:05Those who voluntarily left the country and downgraded their visas

01:11may return to the Philippines if they have legitimate reasons to go back to the country.

01:16For example, those with families here already,

01:19those who want to apply on other sectors legitimately.

01:24Those who did not voluntarily downgrade their visas

01:27were automatically dismissed by the order to leave that is already recorded in their passport.

01:32This means that they need to leave the country as soon as possible.

01:37The BI clarified that even if this is not a derogatory record,

01:40it is permanently placed in the passport of a foreigner

01:43and can be a barrier for them to return to the country.

01:46If the immigration officers see this,

01:48there will be more scrutiny against them because

01:52we consider that to be a red flag because they stayed here for a long time

01:56without legally downgrading their visas.

02:00Once January enters, those who stayed in the country

02:04will be caught to be deported and blacklisted.

02:07We are monitoring their departure up until the end of the year.

02:11After the year ends, we consider all of that to be illegal

02:15whether they filed for downgrading,

02:18whether they did not file for it,

02:21as long as they remain inside the country.
