Those who commit crimes through POGO s will be held accountable, Speaker Martin Romualdez said Monday.“If POGO s only stayed with what the law provided…but they branched out to scam farms…love scam, human trafficking, prostitution and pornography,” Romualdez said after the House leaders’ inspection of Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators sites in Porac, Pampanga and in Bamban, Tarlac, and a warehouse in Mexico, Pampanga where at least P3 billion worth of shabu was found last September.

Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation chairperson and Chief Executive Officer Alejandro Tengco earlier said that some 31,000 direct POGO employees and more than 9,000 workers in special business process outsourcing are likely to be displaced following President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.’s directive to ban POGOs within the next six months in his third State of the Nation Address last month.
