Deportation of illegal POGO workers begins today READ:
“The first deportation is set on October 19, with five or six to be initially deported,” Remulla said in a press conference.“The Bureau of Immigration already canceled the visas of many working at the illegal POGO outlets. The work is ongoing right now,” Remulla said.
Meanwhile, Remulla disclosed that “someone from the BI” has recommended giving amnesty to the Chinese nationals working in illegal POGO outlets but he said the process has to be studied first. Meanwhile, Senator Sherwin Gatchalian on Tuesday said even licensed POGOs are not paying correct taxes. The senator’s research shows estimated tax leakages of P1.9 billion due to the discrepancy of gross gaming revenue as reported by the BIR and PAGCOR from POGOs from January to August this year.
