Speaker Martin Romualdez on Tuesday instructed the House leadership and top Secretariat officials to file and ensure the swift approval of a proposed measure in response to the directive of President Marcos to impose a total ban on Philippine Offshore Gaming Operations in the Philippines.
“This, however, will not stop ongoing House investigation on the criminal and other illegal activities linked to POGO. Hopefully, the House can learn from the hearing—on their modus operandi and the brains behind these activities—as part of inputs for the proposed measure that we will be crafting,” the House leader stressed.
Also pending at committee level are House Resolution 503 filed by Rizal Rep. Juan Fidel Nograles, HR 1197 filed by Cagayan de Oro City Rep. Rufus Rodriguez, HR 1524 also filed by the Makabayan bloc, and the privilege speech of OFW Partylist Rep. Marissa Magsino.
