Representative Dan S. Fernandez delivered a sponsorship speech as Chairperson of the Committee on Public Order and Safety. He presented a progress report from the joint committee, also known as Quadcom, detailing investigations into extrajudicial killings, illegal drugs, and the operations of illegal Philippine offshore gaming operators (POGOs). The report identified significant evidence of criminal activities, including human trafficking, money laundering, and other crimes, perpetrated by Chinese nationals using fake identities. The committee has filed cases against key individuals and proposed several legislative measures to address these issues and strengthen regulations. Fernandez emphasized the need for justice and support for victims, urging the government to take decisive action against POGO-related crimes.
