SEN. Sherwin Gatchalian has stepped up his calls for a total ban on Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators , saying he recently had a chance to raise the matter with Malacañang Palace, even as police and Justice department officials are still wrangling over the latest case of suspected human trafficking involving more than 2,000 POGO workers in south Metro Manila.
The senator added this was done since, “at the start and end of it, it will still be the Executive that will take steps to ban POGOs to have peace in our country.” With the recent incidents involving alleged human trafficking in certain POGO hubs, “I’m sure it could still go up,” Gatchalian said, referring to the number of people favoring a ban on POGOs in the country.
