PAOCC to seek court order to exhume alleged remains at Porac Pogo hub
The Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) is investigating an alleged burial site of foreign nationals near a recently raided Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) hub in Porac, Pampanga.
At least two POGO workers, who did not know each other, have separately come forward to the PAOCC with information about foreign nationals being killed and buried within the hub's premises.
PAOCC Undersecretary Gilbert Cruz stated that witnesses pointed to the same specific sites within the compound where the burials allegedly occurred.
The commission plans to apply for a court order to exhume the areas identified by the witnesses.
PAOCC officials had previously visited the suspected area with witnesses but are awaiting the court order before proceeding with any excavation.
