40plus POGOs to shut down opns voluntarily – DOJ
By J.Lo
“Harm and danger fueled by illegal POGO activities have undeniably placed public safety and national security at risk for quite some time and justice will never take these matters sitting down…with President’s guidance, we can now unleash full consequences of law against these undesirable elements of society,” Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said in statement total of 41 licensed Philippine offshore gaming operators (POGO) expressed their intention to leave country following President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s call to ban online gambling hubs
This was revealed by Department of Justice (DOJ) after its meeting with “Task Force POGO Closure,” involved different government agencies dealing with POGO operations in the country.
DOJ said all specialized visas issued to foreign POGO workers will be downgraded to tourist visa starting October 16 in order for them to leave Philippines within 60 days.
After visa downgrade, failure to leave the country will result into an involuntary repatriation.
Task force includes representatives from DOJ, Department of Labor and Employment, Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission, Bureau of Immigration and Philippine Amusement Gaming Corp.
“Task force aims to establish clear, organized and streamlined set of guidelines for total prohibition of POGO operations throughout the country by end of year without sacrificing welfare of workers who will be affected by Presidential directive.
Marcos called for total ban of POGOs during his State Of the Nation Address in July as response to alleged unlawful activities of online gambling hubs in certain areas.
illegal activities in POGOs discovered in Bamban, Tarlac and Porac, Pampanga allegedly involved torture, debt bondage, kidnapping and human trafficking.
