Davao Norte town execs ask House quad comm to probe newly-found Pogo
Davao del Norte 2nd district Rep. Alan "Aldu" Dujali filed a resolution calling for an immediate House investigation into alleged involvement of provincial officials with illegal Philippine offshore gaming operators (POGOs).
This follows a raid by the NBI-Region XI on an illegal POGO in Panabo City on Friday, December 6, which led to the arrest of 55 Chinese, three Malaysians, and a Filipina.
Vice Mayor Gregorio Dujali III of Panabo has also called on the House quad committee to include the recently discovered POGO operations in their investigation.
The NBI is investigating how the POGO came to operate in Davao del Norte, with cases being filed against the workers.
Vice Mayor Dujali emphasized the need to investigate who approved the business permit for the large warehouse operation.
Rep. Dujali cited information suggesting some local officials may have been acting as "protectors" for the illegal POGO hub.
