The Philippine government is set to be POGO-free by 2025, with all licenses being canceled starting December 15, 2024, as directed by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla assured that government law enforcement entities will hunt down illegal POGO operations, even after the closure of all remaining licensed POGOs.

Remulla stated that while all licenses will be canceled, some "guerilla operations" may still emerge, but authorities will pursue them.

The strategy involves various government law enforcement agencies, including the PNP and LGUs, scouring potential POGO operating areas to end illegal activities.
