So Sen. Risa Hontiveros has been fighting POGOs for over 4 years already. I can't imagine how happy and relieved she was when PBBM finally announces the ban of POGO on his last SONA. Thank you so much for your persistency Sen. Risa.
Dubai is similar when it comes to the dirty dark work life, all sorts of horror stuff, must be a beautiful place to visit like China but its CCP and other things that make it scary.
Never ever be blinded by the big amount of money.... Gambling is a kind of greediness....envy.... This is EVIL.... surely evil....they can kill ....and do a lot of crimes just to earn money...
this documentary needs to be published in mainstream media of the philippines. It is saddening that an international entity like CNA would be the first one to expose this..
As you heard the witness say, it is almost 90% are involved in the pastillas scam. So don't expect it gets published on air. The president already closed the most vigilant tv station abs-cbn.
Philippines immigration officials are corrupt, and they been doing it for years. No one will do anything about it because some government officials are making money from it!🤷♀️

Nice documentary. Thank you for exposing the corrupt activities happening in the country. Atleast, this is an eye opener for Filipinos to vote for government officials who have integrity. Not those who would just say "joke lang" if they failed us.
@@usucktoo agreed, but we also need to purge their allies too. The reason why our country had not improved after People power was because the powerful cronies which enabled Marcos' power in the first place were not purged.
POGO is a big mistake. Should be abolish and stop operating in the Philippines. Lives are shattered by POGO. Gambling is always bad, and the government should not be permitting this to operate.
They need to ask their "Bosses" if they can make a headline about it and to avoid getting burned themselves. Lets be honest, almost all news agency here in the Philippines are being controlled by any corrupt government officials.
I have worked as a shuttle driver for POGO for 3 years and so far I can say is I'm thankful that I was employed in a good company that pays on time and they have been very good to me. But I have seen some of the employees, even the big bosses is that most of them squander their money here through physical casinos, drinking almost everyday and hiring prostitutes. I heard most of the employees they hire is from far-flung provinces in China coming from poor families and they come back to their families after 6 months (because they only have tourist visa, not working visa) empty handed. I can see the upside on our economy these POGO operations benefit like rental fees, tax collections, they support the local economy around them, jobs for Filipinos but there are so much evil and bad outcomes that they unleash (the nature of the business was evil to begin with). That's why we need our legislators to think about policies that will benefit both us Filipinos and the Chinese people for the greater good.
Congratulations! I salute the brave and honest Senator ..for uncovering the crime.Those corrupt immigration employees involved should also be punished. Really BIG money involved here . Take care. It could be like the MAFIA.
The Government of China IS A MAFIA (CCP)... pretending to be a Government.. China is technically operated by a MAFIA. This business is Illegal in China nad yet these businesses is owned by their fake government. Exploiting even their OWN Citizens..
thats the extent of your ignorance. the only thing that can be corrupt to you are 'politicians'. thats the problem and the real symptom of the disease. you cannot even imagine that laws and other activities themselves can be 'corrupt'. only people can be corrupt. politicians have faces, but corruption has none. you want problems to have a face, as if to make it easier. "if we can remove bad people, everything will be fine." foolish. it does not occur to you that the system makes these people bad. there will never be a lack of supply of corrupt politicians. The point is: too much regulations and un-smart illegalizations makes POGOs lucrative in the first place. the same is true with drugs.
I have watched a 60 Minutes Australia episode that Chinese gambling junkets that are fronts for money laundering (That was in a famous Australian hotel that changed their name recently). I can name one junket that has a branch here in the Philippines: SUN CITY GROUP.
Philippines is the only country still patronizing this “POGO”. It really shows Philippines not really Christian country, alot of illegal activities like gamblings, drugs, killings and corruptions.
Sad to say, Philippines has plenty of corrupt politicians. I have read many comments from netizens that the Philippine president can just sign an order to ban the POGOs, but according to them, the president has been silent about it.
Chinese tourists pump as much as 2.3 Billion dollars into the Philippines economy. Nobody is taking advantage of the Philippines according to the Philippines Bureau of Immigration. This money is used to built infrastructures all over the country.
It is worse now. I have been following POGO news and watched videos regarding it. According to the videos, crimes in the Philippines have increased. A Number of missing persons all over the Philippines has increased. And much more…
This is a good insight on how interconnected corruption is with crime and human rights violations. This should be addressed from top-down. POGOs may continue due the money they bring in but the Philippines is no playground. I hope they ban this in the future.
FYI to everyone, the woman in 4:15 is clearly not typical of a chinese national. her accent is of a local filchi speaking philippine hokkien. I can tell this due to her jinjiang/quanzhou based accent and her choice of vocabulary such as tagalog loan words like "lang" not meaning person, but meaning "only". Her articulation is somewhat that of a 2nd or 3rd gen filchi who speaks philippine hokkien quite well actually, but not the same articulation that of a recent mainland immigrant even from the same region as her ancestors. Something is fishy going on behind the scenes of this documentary. or perhaps maybe the lady is a chinese national but long lived in the philippines. Who knows? but im just pointing out clear observations that she doesnt seem as a chinese national more so than just a binondo resident
Im just curious, aren't there cameras to monitor the immigration officers at the airport when the money is passed on? Or are those manning the cameras also on the take?

I think alot of our people, especially in recent years, have receded into their private lives, defeated by the overwhelming sense of corruption and stagnancy pervading our country but if one's hides from the public sphere, nothing gets done or fixed in the public sphere.
The girl is speaking hokkien and is the Chinese dialect of most Filipino-Chinese. She's definitely from Fujian province, a poorer region of China away from the growth hubs of Guangdong and the Shanghai area. Personally, I'm surprised that I understand her even though I don't speak the language and merely only listen my mother talk to my grandmother talk sometimes.
btw, hokkien isnt a dialect. that's an old misconception. its a language under the chinese language family. the real dialects under hokkien are for example, philippine hokkien, singaporean hokkien, taiwanese hokkien, penang hokkien, medan hokkien, quanzhou hokkien, amoy hokkien, zhangzhou hokkien, etc. these are all dialects of hokkien, but hokkien itself is a language. it's not dialect to any other language. it's only direct ancestor it can be dialect to many centuries ago is Proto-Coastal Min, descended from Proto-Min, which is a descendant of Old Chinese.
@@azkryvll Medan Hokkien is spoken in Indonesia. other parts of Indonesia, likely speak different dialects of Hokkien tho. i heard that the Hokkien in Medan is different to the Hokkien in Riau and the Hokkien in Java and probably other parts of Indonesia too. In the Philippines, there is a dominant Quanzhou-descended Hokkien spoken that is spread out from Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao, but there is also a minority Amoy-descended one spoken in Sulu to Mindanao to Visayas. In Taiwan, they have a sort of General Taiwanese sort of Hokkien that it seems many Taiwanese seem to understand, even tho their own dialect is slightly different
According to Al Jazeera, about 3,000 illegal Chinese nationals were kicked out of the Philippines as of Oct. 20, 2020. According to the Philippines Dept. of Transportation, 1.74 million Chinese nationals arrived in the country in 2019 pumping as much as $2.3 Billion into the economy.

The way she talks. Shes fil-chi. I hope the docu just wanted to protect the real witness and found a double. Then again, it's still deceiving the viewers. Fishy fishy

@@whodoyouvoodo3987 Exact. Its why I agree with the war on drugs and the collateral necessary evils that come along with it. Remove or decrease demand, king pins would put less effort coming here.
@@brentvillanueva15 BS what's the point of having war on drugs where you kill poor pushers on the streets but on the other hand you go to bed with China; the number one supplier of drugs into the country? This documentary if anything proves how much easier it has become for Chinese syndicates to have their way in the PH ever since this administration started. The drug war was all a show. I am all for taking a tough stance against drugs, BUT THERE MUST BE ORDER to how it's done, the drug war we have now is pure stupidity and only breeds impunity with little to show for in the end (since drugs still have a freeway into the country from China). In other SEA countries capital punishment works to mitigate drugs bc it's just one part of the gameplan which includes law and institutional reforms, corruption erradication and etc, plus they adhere strictly to the judicial process based on proper criminal investigations, whereas in the Philippines it's like the Wild² west shooting up any poor dude with a syringe while the real drug bosses sits nicely at his office in Hong Kong pushing politicans and police. Winnie the Pooh and his lapdog took the Filipino people for a ride and the people only have themselves to blame for being too stupid anf take the bait🤢
Sorry but NO Fu...ng way . Gambling is more destructive & more addictive than HEROINE AND ALL hard drugs !!!! Thanks to CPP gambling is a criminal activity ONLY confined to Macao. Gambling destroys entire families. I like Thailand's military government that makes gambling a crime. Thailand with truly democratic government would loose the iron discipline and allow GAMBLING to destroy the society.
A Chinese without any technology goes to another country whose economy is worse than China to make money, thinking that he will make more money than in China? In addition to gambling, drugs and the underworld, what other good jobs can be? Such people with the dream of getting rich are often the easiest to be deceived.I hope that the Philippine government will not condone these gambling institutions just because these Chinese online gamblers bring financial revenue to their local government, and support the Philippine government to crack down on these Chinese people.
@@jetsetter8541 Gambling is someone’s personal choice . You deserve the freedom to gamble if you wish . If you’re addicted you’ll find a way to gamble anyway

That guy doesn't sound like he's from china. Wrong accent, choice of words, slip up of tagalog. More like a philippine grown chinese with funny accent. Also outrageously working 24/7 with only 15 mins break per day. Surprised he's still alive. The lady dealer must have gained some weight. I know a real net casino dealer in makati, they're well paid and not overworked. CNA needs better script writers and actors. Musical ditector too. What's with the annoying ear piercing squeal sound effect anyway
I agree. This is obviously a badly written scripted documentary. Miss C has no credibilities. If the company got hold of her passport and she has no means of going back to her country as she claims, she can go to chinese embassy and report it. Or call up her relatives thru wechat or other social media platforms to ask for help
🇨🇦 Gambling facilities were bad enough already to destroy lives but then for the government to allow on line gambling has started a whole crap load of illegal doings! What did the governments expect??
Nice documentary but nothing will ever change. If Philippines govt really want to change, they would have clamped down on this industry earlier.. but is a big money.. so yea..
@4:23 onwards the 'lang' she used is not refering to a 'person' but 'lang' tagalog word as 'only'. so people may say maybe she learned tagalog while living here but she really sounded so much like a fil-chi.
I am hopeful that we will regain our beloved Philippines ❤ Not today, not tomorrow, but in the near future. Let us vote for the right people, fresh and young ones. There are alot of good aspiring leaders if only we give them a chance...Old 🐊🐊🐊 are ruining our beloved country! They are after 💰💰💰
The root must be cut down. Kahit naputol yung ibang sanga, tutubo ulit ng iba. Pogos were linked with crimes but the government still insisted for it to operate in exchange of taxes which are not actually submitted and even permit its development for the next few years instead of stopping it. It musth be stopped once and for all. Government revenue from them can not compensate mistreated lives and sufferings of employees.
I don't think pogos should be banned but all of this skullduggery and human trafficking attached to it should be eliminated. The industry should be heavily investigated and regulated.

That first supposed Chinese national woman Miss C you interviewed is not a native mainland China national, as she sounds like a Filipino-Chinese based on the way she talks, according to other Chinese people who watched this video. How did you verify she really a Chinese national, and that her story and facts are reliable?
there might be some chinese filipinos, particularly 1st or 2nd gen that still might have not naturalized or attained filipino citizenship yet, tho of course becoming rarer these days.

To do better requires one to strive to be better first hence why one should aspire to eliminate corruption not just acknowledge its existence.
I think alot of our people, especially in recent years, have receded into their private lives, defeated by the overwhelming sense of corruption and stagnancy pervading our country but if one's hides from the public sphere, nothing gets done or fixed in the public sphere.
The girl is speaking hokkien and is the Chinese dialect of most Filipino-Chinese. She's definitely from Fujian province, a poorer region of China away from the growth hubs of Guangdong and the Shanghai area.
Personally, I'm surprised that I understand her even though I don't speak the language and merely only listen my mother talk to my grandmother talk sometimes.
btw, hokkien isnt a dialect. that's an old misconception. its a language under the chinese language family. the real dialects under hokkien are for example, philippine hokkien, singaporean hokkien, taiwanese hokkien, penang hokkien, medan hokkien, quanzhou hokkien, amoy hokkien, zhangzhou hokkien, etc. these are all dialects of hokkien, but hokkien itself is a language. it's not dialect to any other language. it's only direct ancestor it can be dialect to many centuries ago is Proto-Coastal Min, descended from Proto-Min, which is a descendant of Old Chinese.
She sounds like a local Chinese
@@xXxSkyViperxXxIndonesian Hokkien?
@@azkryvll Medan Hokkien is spoken in Indonesia. other parts of Indonesia, likely speak different dialects of Hokkien tho. i heard that the Hokkien in Medan is different to the Hokkien in Riau and the Hokkien in Java and probably other parts of Indonesia too. In the Philippines, there is a dominant Quanzhou-descended Hokkien spoken that is spread out from Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao, but there is also a minority Amoy-descended one spoken in Sulu to Mindanao to Visayas. In Taiwan, they have a sort of General Taiwanese sort of Hokkien that it seems many Taiwanese seem to understand, even tho their own dialect is slightly different
Just saw the news that a husband push pregnant wife to the cliff because of gambling debts, just to get her life insurance 😭😭😭
With blessings from the very top.
Lets name it - DUTERTE
According to Al Jazeera, about 3,000 illegal Chinese nationals were kicked out of the Philippines as of Oct. 20, 2020. According to the Philippines Dept. of Transportation, 1.74 million Chinese nationals arrived in the country in 2019 pumping as much as $2.3 Billion into the economy.
I just stumbled upon this channel. Now more than ever it is important to remember how deadly this "gamble" and its repercussions to our country.
7:43 we live in a deeply troubled world filled with monsters... like, the things people do to other human-beings for money 😕🙁
This is great documentaries.

POGO: One of Duterte's legacies.
Please investigate sherwyn a former Singapore government scholarship official who has been working for an online gambling syndicate based in Philippines whose boss is residing here in Singapore
This is a mess... should put a stop to this..
Similar to what happened in Sihanoukville Cambodia.
I read a comment that Cambodia has banned them now.
I love Senator Hontiveros longlife🙏🙏❤️
First to watch this on their website 😁
I agree with china president requesting philippines also to deactivate/stop gambling in the philippines.

Pero talagang lumaki na ngayon Ang problema

When there's a demand, there will ALWAYS BE A SUPPLY.

@@whodoyouvoodo3987 Exact. Its why I agree with the war on drugs and the collateral necessary evils that come along with it.

@@brentvillanueva15 BS what's the point of having war on drugs where you kill poor pushers on the streets but on the other hand you go to bed with China; the number one supplier of drugs into the country? This documentary if anything proves how much easier it has become for Chinese syndicates to have their way in the PH ever since this administration started. The drug war was all a show. I am all for taking a tough stance against drugs, BUT THERE MUST BE ORDER to how it's done, the drug war we have now is pure stupidity and only breeds impunity with little to show for in the end (since drugs still have a freeway into the country from China). In other SEA countries capital punishment works to mitigate drugs bc it's just one part of the gameplan which includes law and institutional reforms, corruption erradication and etc, plus they adhere strictly to the judicial process based on proper criminal investigations, whereas in the Philippines it's like the Wild² west shooting up any poor dude with a syringe while the real drug bosses sits nicely at his office in Hong Kong pushing politicans and police. Winnie the Pooh and his lapdog took the Filipino people for a ride and the people only have themselves to blame for being too stupid anf take the bait🤢
Dito pala nag simula yung your honor hindi ko na po maalala
China should just legalize gambling in their own country since the majority gamblers/customers are Chinese.
no why?
Macao is there
Sorry but NO Fu...ng way .
Gambling is more destructive & more addictive than HEROINE AND ALL hard drugs !!!!
Thanks to CPP gambling is a criminal activity ONLY confined to Macao.
Gambling destroys entire families.
I like Thailand's military government that makes gambling a crime.
Thailand with truly democratic government would loose the iron discipline and allow GAMBLING to destroy the society.
A Chinese without any technology goes to another country whose economy is worse than China to make money, thinking that he will make more money than in China? In addition to gambling, drugs and the underworld, what other good jobs can be? Such people with the dream of getting rich are often the easiest to be deceived.I hope that the Philippine government will not condone these gambling institutions just because these Chinese online gamblers bring financial revenue to their local government, and support the Philippine government to crack down on these Chinese people.
@@jetsetter8541 Gambling is someone’s personal choice . You deserve the freedom to gamble if you wish . If you’re addicted you’ll find a way to gamble anyway
A horrific situation even before uncovering Alice Guo's issue. May justice be served and abuse be prevented. God bless Philippines!
Marvellous content
apat na taon na pala natin tong nilalabanan hndi parin natatauhan ang mga tao natin sa gobyerno, nabubulag sila revenue ng pogo
Allison Chiong should be promoted and be the head of Immigration ..
Yes, a brave man to be a whistleblower.
Wow Salute Yo Riza Hontivirus for talking the truth whats going in in Philippines with POGO . Ganblung Syndicate in Philippines.. take care and praying for your safety .God Bless and keep up the good job
Nice investigation. thanks.
the people in the immigration should be replaced mga kurakot mga taga immigration
Iyan ang kapalit nang laglag bala, brought to you by the duterte administration.
@@kwazooplayingguardsman5615 Pogo started in 2013 before Duterte came to office. You can start by blaming the previous administration.
@@kwazooplayingguardsman5615 Matagal na kurakot ang Immigration saka Customs, panahon pa ni Cory ganun na yan.
not necessarily who started. former president duterte had legalized it through executive order.
Just clean it up And regulate no need to halt everything
This was 3 years ago but POGO is still here in the Philippines 😢
This is sad
That guy doesn't sound like he's from china. Wrong accent, choice of words, slip up of tagalog. More like a philippine grown chinese with funny accent. Also outrageously working 24/7 with only 15 mins break per day. Surprised he's still alive.
The lady dealer must have gained some weight. I know a real net casino dealer in makati, they're well paid and not overworked.
CNA needs better script writers and actors. Musical ditector too.
What's with the annoying ear piercing squeal sound effect anyway
I agree. This is obviously a badly written scripted documentary.
Miss C has no credibilities. If the company got hold of her passport and she has no means of going back to her country as she claims, she can go to chinese embassy and report it. Or call up her relatives thru wechat or other social media platforms to ask for help
🇨🇦 Gambling facilities were bad enough already to destroy lives but then for the government to allow on line gambling has started a whole crap load of illegal doings! What did the governments expect??
Nice documentary but nothing will ever change. If Philippines govt really want to change, they would have clamped down on this industry earlier.. but is a big money.. so yea..
Mis mahigpit pa mga immigration sa kapwa pinoy kesa sa mga chinese
There's no end to workers exploitation as long as corrupt officials thrive in both the lower and upper echelons of the government. 💔😔
Yes 💔
It is rdiculous for this senator to say she will let this POGO continue. Government officials are in it for their own pockets
Every government has profits before anything, and power
Tatak Duterte eh. Nauna pa tong pagbigay ng permit sa mga POGO nung 2016 kesa sa taasan sweldo ng mga teacher.

@4:23 onwards the 'lang' she used is not refering to a 'person' but 'lang' tagalog word as 'only'. so people may say maybe she learned tagalog while living here but she really sounded so much like a fil-chi.
I am hopeful that we will regain our beloved Philippines ❤ Not today, not tomorrow, but in the near future. Let us vote for the right people, fresh and young ones. There are alot of good aspiring leaders if only we give them a chance...Old 🐊🐊🐊 are ruining our beloved country! They are after 💰💰💰
The root must be cut down. Kahit naputol yung ibang sanga, tutubo ulit ng iba. Pogos were linked with crimes but the government still insisted for it to operate in exchange of taxes which are not actually submitted and even permit its development for the next few years instead of stopping it. It musth be stopped once and for all. Government revenue from them can not compensate mistreated lives and sufferings of employees.
Approval by Former President Rodrigo Duterte chinese Pogo gambling in the Philippines.
Philippines wont ever ban POGOS. It generates too much $$ for them
I don't think pogos should be banned but all of this skullduggery and human trafficking attached to it should be eliminated. The industry should be heavily investigated and regulated.
majority of them doesnt even pay tax

Philippines banned POGO on July 22,2024. No more POGOs to operate here

hy are you philipines?
I have read from netizens that a lot of girls or ladies are now missing in the Philippines, and they think it’s POGO-related. That’s a lot of broken families. So is it worth it?
Sen Riz Hontiveros you are doing a good job carry on just be cautious po s security m rin kasi ang laban talaga underground ...criminals
I think the Philippines should import the politicians from a foreign country i.e. Singapore, New Zealand....
Collonial mentality
no politicians from foreign countries as mentioned will be willing to go over there and clean up mess made by the politicians voted by the people of Philippines
Its al about money, until people like duterte come into the office.

Mediacorp, please get your facts and witnesses straight. That first supposed Chinese national woman Miss C you interviewed is not a native mainland China national, as she sounds like a Filipino-Chinese based on the way she talks, according to other Chinese people who watched this video. How did you verify she really a Chinese national, and that her story and facts are reliable?
there might be some chinese filipinos, particularly 1st or 2nd gen that still might have not naturalized or attained filipino citizenship yet, tho of course becoming rarer these days.
And we, the Philippines, that I, and to be from the people, to be praying for what are doing in the country. God bless us.
