PAOCC Set to Unplug Small-Scale POGOs

There are people behind Philippine offshore gaming operator hubs who continue to defy President Marcos' ban on POGOs, which is set to take effect next year and are instead converting to small-scale operations.

In response to this, the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC), in coordination with law enforcement agencies, is preparing for intensified operations against POGOs that will continue to operate beyond the Dec. 31 deadline set by the government to stop their activities.
