The raid of a POGO hub in Porac, Pampanga, suspected of being involved in heinous illegal activities such as torture, illegal detention, sex trafficking, and investment scams, underscores the urgent need to ban all POGO operations in the country immediately. Only an absolute and unconditional ban on POGO operations nationwide will halt the proliferation of various criminal activities, which we believe are orchestrated by organized crime syndicates operating across the globe.

The continued presence of POGOs poses a grave threat to public safety and order. We cannot allow our communities to be plagued by these illicit activities any longer.

Patuloy tayong nananawagan sa Pangulo na agarang tugunan ang lumalakas na sigaw ng ating mga kababayan para wakasan na ang lahat ng operasyon ng mga POGO sa bansa. Hindi natin mapipigilan ang paglaganap ng mga krimen na patuloy na bumibiktima sa marami nating kababayan at mga dayuhan kung hindi natin tuluyang ipasasara ang lahat ng POGO sa Pilipinas.
