The Philippines has introduced new standard operating procedures to be followed by various government agencies in their efforts to enforce the nationwide ban on offshore gaming operators, known as POGOs.
The new procedures, which aim to provide a unified set of rules to strengthen cooperation between agencies while also offering stronger legal tools for enforcement, were signed at a ceremony at Malacañan Palace in Manila this week.
State-run media outlet Philippine News Agency said the procedures consolidate two POGO ban orders and 15 other laws into “one omnibus action plan” covering intelligence gathering, operations, evidence handling, prosecution and asset preservation.
