Ferdinand Marcos Jr.,Pagcor,SONA 2024

POGOs seem to prefer to locate in the Philippines because they know that our laws and regulations are malleable, and they can get away with various crimes, thanks to our weak rule of law

This is AI generated summarization, which may have errors. For context, always refer to the full article.

Alongside his blanket ban, the President on Monday instructed the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation , a government corporation, to “wind down and cease” POGOs by yearend. Marcos believes “this will solve many of the problems that we are encountering…but it will not solve all of them.” Take for instance Duterte’s war on drugs, a bloody crackdown on illicit drugs. Years after such an aggressively enforced ban, and thousands of extrajudicial killings later, the drug trade is as lively as ever.

Once the ban is in effect, the remaining IGLs might disperse and simply set up shop, albeit at smaller scales of operation. Note that POGOs are mostlyhoused in office buildings. So it’s fairly easy to disguise them as typical offices, similar to business process outsourcing offices.
