Remulla, Timor-Leste president discuss Teves case, POGOS
The Philippine Star
|October 03, 2024
Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla met with Timor-Leste President José Ramos-Horta on Oct.1 to discuss diplomatic and security issues, including the risks involving Philippine offshore gaming operators (POGOs) and the extradition of expelled lawmaker Arnolfo Teves Jr.
Remulla, reportedly on a "state visit" to Timor-Leste, conveyed a message from President Marcos to Timorese officials that the Philippines has officially banned POGOS due to crime-related issues, regulatory evasion and potential threats to public safety.
He warned officials about reports indicating that Timor-Leste was one of the possible relocation sites for POGO operations.
"Given the shared Catholic heritage and values of both the Philippines and Timor-Leste, the Philippine government deemed it essential to inform Timor-Leste of the potential socioeconomic and security challenges posed by allowing POGOs to operate within its borders," Remulla said in a statement.Bu hikaye The Philippine Star dergisinin October 03, 2024 baskısından alınmıştır.
