DESPITE persistent reports linking Philippine overseas gaming operators to crimes, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. maintains that a total ban would only compound existing problems.Those who want POGOs banned altogether say the economic benefits that the government derives from them are far outweighed by their negative effects: crimes committed by erring gaming companies that include credit card fraud, serious illegal detention and human trafficking.
Aspap's membership includes 16 Pagcor-licensed POGOs and 68 service providers. It said they have more Filipino workers than all other foreigners combined.Aspap spokesman Paul Bongco said a total ban on overseas gaming would also greatly diminish the estimated P61 billion revenues derived from POGOs in terms of taxes and fees paid to Pagcor, the Bureau of Internal Revenue, the Department of Labor and Employment and the Bureau of Immigration .
