BBM reiterates ban on POGOs in all forms
The Philippine Star
|November 13, 2024
All offshore gaming operations are banned in the country and there is no way they can operate under any similar license, President Marcos assured the public on Monday.
The President made the remarks following Sen. Risa Hontiveros' warning of several loopholes in his Executive Order (EO) 74 on the "immediate" ban on Philippine offshore gaming operators (POGOs) in the country.
"There's just no way...because it's the nature of the operation that we are banning. It's not because it's under PAGCOR (Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp.) or not. As long as it's POGO, (if) that's their license, it's banned," Marcos said in an interview in Parañaque City.
Asked whether there is a need to pass a law to ban POGOs, Marcos replied that the EO is already "sufficient."
