Sen. Gatchalian files bill banning POGOs

Quick Summary:

SHERWIN GATCHALIAN, chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means, has filed the bill to completely ban all the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs) to plug some possible loopholes in the earlier executive order issued by President Marcos Jr.

However, majority of 5,800 reported victims of POGOs in 2017 were Filipinos.“A lot of these criminalities ruined the reputation of our country.

On the positive note, POGOs have contributed P8 billion to PAGCOR, or 10 percent of its income, which in turn were used for social projects.
