“We presented the Myanmar to provide context to the committee that the problem of scam farm is not limited to the Philippines but an inter-Asian problem,” PAOCC spokesman Wilson Casio said, adding that influx of foreigners working in POGOs started in 2017 and peaked in 2019. One of the rescued workers, a Malaysian who identified himself as Dylan, told the panel he was invited for dinner by a friend in Bamban because it was Chinese New Year. But he was, instead, sold to a POGO hub in Bamban for P300,000.
