00:00The deadline for foreign POGO workers to stay in the Philippines has ended.

00:05Those who are still in the country after the deadline will face deportation.

00:11PTV's Rod Laguzad has news for the country.

00:16December 31 is the last day for foreign POGO workers to leave the country.

00:22The deadline for these workers is no extension.

00:25This is also followed by the first directive of the President to ban the operation of POGO in the country.

00:30According to the Bureau of Immigration, most of the illegal foreigners who work as POGO workers have already left the country.

00:38Since the second week of December, more than 6,000 were expected to leave.

00:45So by this time, only less than half of it is expected to leave in the next few days.

00:52There is no chance of extension for the December 31 deadline.

00:57No more extension.

00:58If the foreign workers of the POGO company pass the December 31 deadline, they will be blacklisted already.

01:06This means that they will not be able to return to the country even if they already have a family here.

01:12That is why the BIA has continuously urged the new police to follow suit.

01:16And if they still want to work in the country, they can still apply for a visa here.

01:22Based on the BIA's data, from 33,000, 26,000 to 28,000 have already downgraded their visas.

01:30While for those who will remain in the Philippines after the deadline, they will be deported.

01:35But for the illegal workers who work to begin with here in the Philippines,

01:40it is automatic for deportation and blacklisting.

01:44They no longer have a voluntary period to leave the country.

01:48They are already for blacklisting because to begin with, they have already violated immigration laws.

01:54While pending cases are pending, a resolution must be waited for before the deportation process.

02:00As a result of this, at the beginning of the new year,

02:03the BIA was able to catch foreign nationals involved in the small operations of POGO in the country.

02:09We're looking into targeting the smaller ones, the breakaway groups that are operating in a smaller scale,

02:16the batches of 10, the small groups of 10, less than 10.

02:21Those are the ones we are seeing now that are following the problems that we are facing.

02:27This might not be as blatant as the ones before and the community might not notice it.

02:35It is a big thing for the public to be able to monitor this and for the local governments to be able to do so.

02:41The BIA is cooperating with other local enforcement agencies to catch them.

02:46The ones that are continuously operating illegally in the country.
