SEN. Risa Hontiveros on Friday praised the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission for its relentless efforts to raid illegal Philippine Online Gaming Operators , with the latest done in Porac, Pampanga where victims of alleged human trafficking were rescued.
She urged authorities to spare no effort to ferret out the culprits in the leak, as those who betray the agency’s mandate could jeopardize future work. She and Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian are spearheading a move in the Senate to ban Pogos entirely from the country, saying the evils they spawn far outweigh the supposed economic benefits.
Earlier on Thursday, Sen. Gatchalian disclosed that Senate probers are also tracking the contractors who built the 38-building Pogo hub in Bamban that has been linked to crimes like cyber-fraud, human trafficking and possible money laundering.
