The Senate investigation into the raided Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator hubs would continue despite President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s announcement that the government would ban POGOs.Senators Risa Hontiveros and Sherwin Gatchalian revealed this after Marcos' third State of the Nation Address during which he announced the POGO ban."Our Senate hearings will continue to demand accountability.
For Gatchalian, this was the time to separate the regulatory and operational functions of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation ."Ito rin ay patunay din na ang conflict of interest ng PAGCOR ay sumira sa ating bansa...

Hindi talaga pwedeng ipagsama dahil naapektuhan 'yung paghihigpit at pinababayaan na lang ang mga ganitong sindikato na nag-ooperate sa ating bansa," the senator said.
