It is possible for President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. to sign into law the bill that will totally ban Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators in the country within the 19th Congress or by June 2025, Senator Sherwin Gatchalian said Sunday.Gatchalian said a technical working group is set to convene on Thursday to prioritize working on the measure, in light of the pronouncement of Marcos in his 3rd State of the Nation Address to ban all POGOs in the country.“Sigurado naman.
Hindi siya complicated. Plus, may pronouncement na ni Pangulo. So, formalities na lang ‘to. Kaya naman aprubahan ito before the 19th Congress ends,” he added.In July, Senator Joel Villanueva filed Senate Bill 2752 or the proposed Anti-POGO Act days after Marcos announced the POGO ban.According to the President, the POGOs had ventured into illicit areas such as scamming, money laundering, prostitution, human trafficking, kidnapping, torture, and murder.
