89 foreigners linked to POGO, scam hubs deported
Eighty-nine foreign nationals, specifically 77 Vietnamese and 12 South Koreans, were deported from the Philippines for alleged involvement in scam hub activities.
The deportations are part of the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission's (PAOCC) efforts to decongest detention facilities and comply with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s order to hasten deportations.
PAOCC executive director Gilbert Cruz mentioned that over 100 foreigners were deported last month, and an additional 120 are slated for deportation.
Some foreigners' deportation this month depends on the Bureau of Immigration's processing of documents and National Bureau of Investigation clearances.
Cruz also participated in a dialogue with Vietnam's Criminal Police Department to enhance bilateral cooperation against illegal offshore gaming and related crimes.
