Days before his 2024 State of the Nation Address on July 22, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. vowed that his administration is focused on eradicating criminality, specifically the operation of illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator hubs in the country.This, however, was only one of the few remarks made by the President on POGO s amid calls for their total ban.
Meanwhile, PIDS said that should POGO activity be allowed to continue, the government must strengthen law enforcement and immigration control to address rising criminality related to POGOs.It must also reconcile POGO with foreign policy, clarify the role of PAGCOR, and build capacity to regulate the online industry.“A large amount of investment in technology will be needed to arm the assigned regulator of POGO, given the sophisticated nature of the online gaming business,” it said.
