Charles DantesPresident Marcos issued an executive order on Friday reinforcing his earlier directive banning all Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators and related internet-based gaming activities in the country.
The President first announced his intention to implement a ban during his State of the Nation Address in July 2024. The Anti-Money Laundering Council also raised concerns that POGOs have been associated with money laundering, fraud, and other financial crimes, posing substantial threats to the national financial system.
The Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development was tasked with ensuring POGO operations do not proliferate within residential areas, while the Department of Tourism was directed to monitor tourist establishments to prevent their use as venues for illegal gaming.
