Harry Roque corrects Coco Martin for comparing ABS-CBN and POGO

Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque responded to Coco Martin’s statement against the government for allowing the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO) operation to resume while shutting down the operations of ABS-CBN.

“Pasensya na po. galit na galit sobra po ako. Ano po ba uunahin natin? Tanggalin ang kompanya na tumutulong sa ating kapwa. Sa lahat ng mga Pilipino. O yung sugal na pinapasok sa atin bansa. Buti pa yung POGO di ba ipinaglalaban nyo.” said Coco.

Roque said the actor was wrong to compare the ABS-CBN shutdown with the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO) operations.

“On POGO Operations and ABS-CBN Franchise

“[H]indi tama yung comparison between ABS-CBN at mga POGO. Unlike ‘yung broadcast companies, wala pong probisyon sa Saligang Batas kung sino pu-pwedeng magbigay ng authority para mag-operate ang POGO. Ang POGO po, tanging PAGCOR lang ang pwedeng magbigay ng desisyon kung sila’y pwedeng mag-operate. Samantalang ang broadcast company po, tanging Kongreso lang po ang may ganyang kapangyarihan.”
