00:00There is no Pogo left in the country according to the Pag Corps.

00:04Along with the closure, the largest Pogo Hub in Cavite was also closed.

00:10But the PNP said that the fight is not yet over.

00:15Jun Veneracion is on the scene.

00:21Full force, the high officials of the government

00:24inspected the largest Pogo Hub in the country

00:27that can be found in Cavite.

00:29The dormitories and gaming area were inspected.

00:33After that, it was closed.

00:35The Pogo Hub was built in the area that was sold in 2017

00:39by the family of Interior Secretary John Vic Rimulya.

00:42As of last month, there is no electricity in the buildings here.

00:46It was closed.

00:48As you can see, there are no signs of habitation here

00:52and no signs of business.

00:54As of this morning when we closed it,

00:57there is no Pogo Hub left in the country.

01:02The operator is now worried about what to do

01:05with the 30 hectares of land that has 57 dormitories.

01:10The closure of Pogo is in accordance with President Bongbong Marcos' order.

01:15Considering that we haven't paid our debts here,

01:20so we're open to any suggestions.

01:22But now, we just want to show everyone that the island is now closed.

01:26Because of the closure of the Pogo Hub here in Island Cove in Cavite,

01:3015,000 employees, mostly Filipinos, lost their jobs.

01:35In total, the PAG Corps said 40,000 displaced workers

01:40because of the government's halt in Pogo.

01:44Including three children and one daughter-in-law of Annabel,

01:47she also lost her income

01:49because she stopped selling outside the Pogo Hub.

01:52We don't have income for a long time.

01:54Now, I'm looking for a place where I can sell.

01:57But the problem with Pogo is not over yet.

01:59There are reports from law enforcement agencies

02:02that there is a small Pogo that is still operating.

02:05After January 1, you will see the power of the government against this.

02:10We will make sure that our President's promise will be fulfilled

02:14that there will be no Pogo by January 1.

02:16For GMA Integrated News, I'm Jon Vanasson.

02:19For Tutok, 24 Hours.
