The Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) is set to shut down small-scale Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs) linked to illegal activities, including organized crime and tax evasion.
The government aims to clean up the gaming industry and address its negative social and economic impacts.
PAOCC officials emphasized that legitimate operators complying with regulations will not be affected by this move.
Law enforcement agencies will oversee the implementation to ensure an orderly crackdown.
This initiative reflects the administration’s commitment to combating illegal operations and safeguarding public welfare.
