STATEMENT OF SENATOR WIN GATCHALIAN ON ISSUANCE OF EO BANNING POGOS
Over the past several years, the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO) industry has turned the country into a haven for human trafficking, scamming, kidnapping, and other criminalities that have adversely affected many of our people. I would like to thank the President for taking a decisive stand for peace and order with the issuance of an executive order prohibiting all POGO-related activities in the country. This affirms the government's commitment to safeguard our citizens from exploitation and harm and protect the country from social ills.
I would also like to commend various law enforcement agencies particularly the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission, Philippine National Police, and the National Bureau of Investigation for aggressively running after illegal POGOs in our country. This is a testament that agencies working together will lead to success.
