Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian yesterday warned against the possible emergence of “POGO-politics” following the recent raid on a Philippine offshore gaming operator in Bamban, Tarlac.

In an interview with “Storycon” over One News, Gatchalian revealed that Philippine law enforcement agencies are currently conducting surveillance and monitoring of similar activities in other parts of the country.

“The problem is that our PAOCC only has 40 members in their team. That’s why they have difficulties in monitoring and conducting raids,” he added, referring to the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission that led the raid in Tarlac.
