The Philippine Star
|September 12, 2024
The Philippine offshore gaming operator (POGO) hub raided in Porac, Pampanga last June allegedly has a burial site where foreigners who were killed are buried, the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission said yesterday.
PAOCC spokesman Winston John Casio said witnesses tipped them off about a supposed burial ground near the Lucky South 99 compound.
“There are certain areas where the dead foreign nationals are allegedly buried,” Casio said in an interview over dzBB.
The reports of killings of foreigners at Lucky South 99 are proof of the violence inflicted on the workers in the POGO hub ranging from torture to killing, he added.
