Earlier, Puwersa ng Bayaning Atleta Rep. Jericho Nograles and other lawmakers called for a House inquiry into the proliferation of Pogo sites, citing potential national security and labor problems.Nograles said there might be “sensitive” security issues regarding Pogos located close to military and police headquarters—Camp Aguinaldo ; Camp Crame ; Camp Bagong Diwa ; Fort Bonifacio ; Villamor Air Base ; and the Philippine Navy headquarters in Manila.
Lt. Gen. Benjamin Madrigal Jr., AFP chief of staff, on Friday said he was unsure whether the military had been consulted on the security considerations in the location of the Pogo sites as these were established before he assumed his post in December 2018. The defense establishment always advocates that “development and security should come together,” he added.
But Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson, a former PNP chief, shared Lorenzana’s apprehensions and said the defense chief raised a valid concern about the Pogo sites.
