Better ban all POGOS. One alternative source of income is to improve collection of taxes and eliminate corruption in government agencies.

[@HaydeeDuco-wg7jj]

Well said!

[@newlander11]

5 billion from POGOs in 2023. This is dwarfed by Pharmally and Cong Duterte's.

[@danger26102]

San kinuha ng PAGCOR chairman na nagbayad ng 5.2B pesos ang POGO? dapat BIR ang nagsabi nyan..

[@eyeinthesky888]

Ban all POGOS, and convert these compound hubs into military and police barracks for training and other purposes.

[@Toldyouso0210]

The Social Malady POGO brings to our society cannot be justified by the amount of revenue it brings to government coffers. In the long run it would be more costly because of the damages it will cause peoples lives socially, mentally and physically. So for the lawmakers who push for the cancellation of all POGO operations legal or otherwise. our hats off and kudos. May God give you strenght to pursue such noble goals. For those who oppose, MAGKANO ba bigayan ???? Huwag iboto ang ayaw magpatigil ng POGO.

[@gerardoberdin6036]

Mayor of Porac alibi he and his company was not allowed to enter Pogo compound and he doesn't took action against Pogo is an indication of incompetence.

[@ricardoaumentado2659]

Mabuti pa itong si Barbers, nagsasabi na against sa POGO. Ang ibang politiko ayaw din, kaya lng pabulong dahil ibubulgar sila ng 'nagbigay' pag nag ingay sila. Money changes everything sabi sa kanta. Kukunti na loyalty sa mga politiko ngaun, basta iba iba presyo nila. Kukunti na politiko na meron pang kaluluwa. Meron marahil iba pero naka halang/ horizontal pagkalagay against sa vertical posture ng tao. Walang konsensya in short.

[@eegt628]

iBAN NYO NA KASI DAMING DRAMA. kaya hindi matanggal yan kasi maraming politiko kumikita dyan

[@AllanMorga-kd8ew]

PBBM should listen to the Pilipino people in banning n POGOs identified area.

[@eyeinthesky888]

Remember all these POGOS started between Duterte's regime in the years 2016-2022.

[@FedelitoGeneroso]

Indeed, this pogo is not good for our country, crimes, drugs, human trafficking and other illegal moves by the involve usually chinese citizens are gradually bringing down our economy. Filipinos are appealing a total ban for pogos' operation here in our beloved motherland " The Philippines "

[@nandinglanante8592]

BAN POGO

[@marcusaurelius2061]

BAN POGO from the PH!

[@doggo3127]

Why not support real industries like manufacturing...pogo is a criminal industry 😅

[@newlander11]

Dapat pala congress and senate ang kumilos para ma-ban mga POGOs. Tapos may mga tao and lawmakers na pinupwersa president to act on POGOs, when basically it is the PAOCC which under the Office of the President, doing the raids and investigations on POGOs.

[@eddieclemente9949]

Abolish pogo

[@eutropiamacalinao1450]

😳🥺😱 KAPIT- SA -PATALIM 😮 ANG MGA FILIPINO........ 😭😢

[@kimannepark4709]

Since there are so many POGOS in the country and millions of Chinese are coming to the PH for all sorts of reasons, then all PH schools and universities should be required to teach the Chinese language or Mandarin. All Filipinos should learn Chinese! I mean, POGOs are here to stay. It would help Pinoys find jobs in POGOs.

[@agentahron]

Dutae legacy 😂

[@FutureRCRIM1997]

Why should increase strict monitoring if kung pwde nmn e ban nlng regardless of their legitimacy ... Bkit kawalan ba ng gobyerno na mawalan ng revenues?? Lolx ....

[@rgb381]

Ask Digong,sya ang dahilan bakit naging legal sila.inisip lng nya revenues di nya inisip na sa gambling lang ay ang daming pamilyang nasira. Puro problema ang iniwan ng Digong na yan.

[@albertohusay3002]

You don't destroy the entire house just to remove the rats. You cannot replace those billions of revenue. Trillion na utang ng Pinas mababawasan pa kita. Let the law enforcers handle it.

[@buhayofw5043]

GENTLEMEN AGREEMENT BETWEEN CHINA AND DUTERTE HAHAHAHA

[@gerardoberdin6036]

Malakas magsuhol? The only reason why some politicians protect and defend Pogo despite it caused the proliferation of henious crimes.
