44 CHINESE – Cops arrested 44 Chinese nationals during a raid on an illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO) operation in Parañaque City.

In a previous article, Senator Richard Gordon said the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO) covers for spies from China. Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan called ‘immediate closure’ of the online gambling firms.

Pangilinan said POGO was allegedly involved in bribery, corruption, prostitution, and other illegal activities in the Philippines. Senator Franklin Drillon called the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) “stupid” for allowing the online gambling services to continue its operation.
