Central Luzon police chief under probe for possible POGO links

June 25, 2024, 12:35 amPhilippine National Police chief Rommel Francisco Marbil said on Monday that he placed the PNP Central Luzon Regional Director, Police Brigadier General Jose Hidalgo Jr., under investigation due to the discovery of the illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator hubs in Bamban, Tarlac and Porac, Pampanga.

“This policy serves as a reminder: engage in illegal activities, and you will be dealt with accordingly,” he said. Meanwhile, six Chinese POGO workers from the raided hub in Bamban, Tarlac were found to be fugitives facing charges in their country.Lucky South 99 Corp. , the operator of the POGOI hub, has rejected the allegations made by the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission claiming that the company was conducting business illegally.

Barte clarified that while it was true that the company no longer had a license, it was inaccurate to declare that it was operating illegally. He mentioned that the company had completely ceased all operations by that time and was in the process of winding down its affairs when the raid occurred.
