As the acerbic debates on whether to shut down the controversial Offshore Gaming Operators rage on, an association of POGO service providers warned that more than 23,000 Filipino workers might lose their jobs if the government sealed the fate of the POGOs.

ASPAP was established in 2020 in response to the onslaught of COVID-19. To help in government’s pandemic response, the group donated P213 million in cash; P24 million in relief goods; 300,000 test kits; 2.5 million surgical masks, and other hospital equipment.
