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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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…
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.
This was the documentary I watched way before all this current issues of POGO in the Philippines. It made me really understand the weight of the situation. It is really horrible how people treat others, so inhumane. But atleast now it's all being revealed and I hope there would be a good resolution for these current issues regarding POGO in the Philippines, I think many more personalities would be involved, and I hope they would all be captured and to put stop on these operations.
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.
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
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?
probably also on the take, this blatant corruption is only possible with the approval of an influential government official. Unfortunately, corruption is not only an endemic problem but one that is rising in the country.
@@reggieangus5325 Please don't have that mentality, We should be aspiring to be better and not hide our faults in the excuse of a "developing country".

@@reggieangus5325 Being realistic is one thing but surrendering to nihilism is another. I know that corruption is rampant in the country, I don't make excuses for it, but acknowledging its existence and leaving it as is, is rather lazy. 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.
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
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.
@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.
110% Agree. It's impossible to stop it. If enough people want it and there is the possibility to make lots of money from it then there will always be a suppy. It's human nature.
@@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🤢
I hope she can go back to china to meet her family again. :( I wish I can help.. they should go to prison they don't even treat them like human, they get zero sleep at all! this makes me mad!
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
There are many job opportunities for locals who can speak Mandarin, or even those who can't like maintenance jobs, cleaning, driving, security, brokers and many other positions.
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?
🇨🇦 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??

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.
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
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

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
Noticed the same thing.
same thought.
Their interviews seemed to be scripted
that's true. It's more like a re-enactment, rather real interview
i agreed
Replace all employees of PAGCOR, Beureo of Immigration, as well as in customs. In order to prevent this types of crimes
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 was published 3 yrs ago, and if you follow current Ph news................ i have no words to say.
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…
I lived in the Philippines as a kid. When I see documentaries like this, I'm shocked. My Filipino friends, don't let China take advantage of you.
What they gonna do? Chinese are already in the Philippines? They already got an island, next to the Philippines!
What was your story in the Philippines?
@@r6mt09 My father was a Fire Chief.
Filipinos always let themselves get taken advantaged by other people, be it Chinese, Arabs, Americans, etc. Nothing new here.
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.
thank u po sa program na to for helping… laban po nating lahat ng pilipinos…
I agree with china president requesting philippines also to deactivate/stop gambling in the philippines.
Nice documentary, it's a free for all in the Philippines,
Just saw the news that a husband push pregnant wife to the cliff because of gambling debts, just to get her life insurance 😭😭😭
This was the documentary I watched way before all this current issues of POGO in the Philippines. It made me really understand the weight of the situation. It is really horrible how people treat others, so inhumane. But atleast now it's all being revealed and I hope there would be a good resolution for these current issues regarding POGO in the Philippines, I think many more personalities would be involved, and I hope they would all be captured and to put stop on these operations.
First to watch this on their website 😁
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.
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 great documentaries.
This is a mess... should put a stop to this..
Thanks for this documentary. Very informative
grabeh pera pera lang no human compassion
It's a terrible situation!!!!! Modern slavery; exploitation all inspired by greed!!!!
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?
probably also on the take, this blatant corruption is only possible with the approval of an influential government official. Unfortunately, corruption is not only an endemic problem but one that is rising in the country.
bruh this is a developing country, anything goes
@@reggieangus5325 Please don't have that mentality, We should be aspiring to be better and not hide our faults in the excuse of a "developing country". We can develop without the horrendous ills of corruption heck I would even say that it is important that we tackle corruption if we ever wish to develop in a timely manner.
@@kwazooplayingguardsman5615 I live in an authentic world, of truth telling and seeing it how it is logically. I dont live in a fantasy world making things up so it fits my narrative of how I want the world to be. Thats called an illusion. If a cat is brown, I dont call it a bIack cat that possibly can turn brown... i call it a brown cat.
@@reggieangus5325 Being realistic is one thing but surrendering to nihilism is another. I know that corruption is rampant in the country, I don't make excuses for it, but acknowledging its existence and leaving it as is, is rather lazy. 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.
Sen. Risa deserves more creddit! And this was even at the start of the pandemic!
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
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.
Nice investigation. thanks.
Similar to what happened in Sihanoukville Cambodia.
I read a comment that Cambodia has banned them now.
@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.
Marvellous content
Allison Chiong should be promoted and be the head of Immigration ..
Yes, a brave man to be a whistleblower.
Heavier corrective actions should be awarded to higher immigration officers. Accountabilty for the actions done by constituents.
When there's a demand, there will ALWAYS BE A SUPPLY.
Just like shabu.
110% Agree. It's impossible to stop it. If enough people want it and there is the possibility to make lots of money from it then there will always be a suppy. It's human nature.
@@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.
sayang naman ang billions oof intelligence fund if only resulting to red tagging instead of arrest
totoo yan mga sugarol din kasi pilipino kaya nag-ooperate ang pogo kung walang players yan malulugi yan at aalis
@@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🤢
Thanks for your upload knowledge as a pilipino oversaeas
There's no end to workers exploitation as long as corrupt officials thrive in both the lower and upper echelons of the government. 💔😔
Yes 💔
Just clean it up And regulate no need to halt everything
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.
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.
I hope she can go back to china to meet her family again. :( I wish I can help.. they should go to prison they don't even treat them like human, they get zero sleep at all! this makes me mad!
China is our enemy
@@nme1916 the CCP is our enemy, not innocent chinese people.
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
@@flare320 It's a clear Taiwan accent to me..
She's Taiwanese not Chinese
I love CNA docu
Please make a documentary The dark side of Singapore. Let the world know, thank you.
What is the dark side of Singpore,,??i'm from Malaysia..
Mis mahigpit pa mga immigration sa kapwa pinoy kesa sa mga chinese
There are many job opportunities for locals who can speak Mandarin, or even those who can't like maintenance jobs, cleaning, driving, security, brokers and many other positions.
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?
🇨🇦 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??
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
@@bswill5077 Majority? saan ang proof? evidence? links?

Amazing! Good job Pres Duterte for receiving money from Chinese and making Philippines the gambling syndicates hub!
it was 2013 that pogo started operating illegally ,ng maupo si digong nilegal ito at nilagyan ng tax, before ilegal silang nag ooperate kaya lugi ang pilipino at ang bansa, learn about the concept of it
ULOL STUPID WHY DON’T YOU ASK BANGAG BBM LIZATANAS LIZASMUG TAMBALOSLOS THEY STOP IT ANYWAY AND CATCH THOSE POGO OWNERS STUPIDOD
STUPID
GOOD JOB BANGAG BBM
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
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..
Dito pala nag simula yung your honor hindi ko na po maalala
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.
A horrific situation even before uncovering Alice Guo's issue. May justice be served and abuse be prevented. God bless Philippines!
apat na taon na pala natin tong nilalabanan hndi parin natatauhan ang mga tao natin sa gobyerno, nabubulag sila revenue ng pogo
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.
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
I will be sharing this..

POGO started way back in 2013 although it exploded in the recent years.
First person to be interviewed, Ms. C, doesn't sound like she's someone from mainland China. She sounds like a Filipino-Chinese auntie born / living in the PH for a long time. She uses filler words like "lang" which is not used in the Hokkien language.
I hope Ms C finds her way back home to her family
Praying for the safety of Senator Hontiveros.
how about having high ranking police as their protector
Well Done
INVESTIGATION MUST START WHEN POGO STARTED OPENNING IN PHILIPPINES , THAT WAS DURING 2012, AND CNA STORY TODAY POP UP WERE AGAINST GOVERNMENT , CNA MUST BE INVESTIGATED ALSO.
interesting🤔
I am against all kinds of gambling. Sen Hontiveros should make a law stopping all kind of gambling if she really for transparency. Not only for media exposure.
Duterte is protecting em. Period
This was 3 years ago but POGO is still here in the Philippines 😢
This is sad
Tatak Duterte eh. Nauna pa tong pagbigay ng permit sa mga POGO nung 2016 kesa sa taasan sweldo ng mga teacher.
