The House of Representatives “quad-committees” have endorsed remedial legislation to address issues associated with Philippine offshore gaming operators (POGOs).
The proposed measures aim to strengthen regulatory frameworks, enhance tax collection, and mitigate social concerns linked to POGO operations.
Lawmakers emphasized the need for stricter enforcement and comprehensive policies to ensure the industry’s compliance with national laws.
The recommendations follow extensive hearings that highlighted various challenges posed by POGOs, including criminal activities and economic implications.
The proposed bills will be deliberated in the upcoming legislative sessions, reflecting the government’s commitment to resolving POGO-related issues.
