MANILA, Philippines — Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian, who conducted an ocular inspection at Lucky South 99 POGO hub with Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission officials, led by Undersecretary Gilbert Cruz, said Bamban Mayor Guo may also have connections with the Philippine offshore gaming operator hub in Porac, Pampanga.
He added that the Bamban POGO hub could be connected with the raided POGO in Porac as these were both built from 2019 to 2022. “My first question is how did it get into the LGU and barangay? The mayor has broad powers to inspect sanitation, electrical and general welfare of the public,” he added, noting that a mayor could not just claim innocence.
Documents obtained from Pagcor and Baofu Land Development suggest that the mayor’s involvement extends beyond land transactions as it already borders on operational activities. Casio also reported on Zhang Jie, a manager of the POGO in Porac, who was intercepted at Davao International Airport while attempting to leave the country.
