July 2, 2024, 1:05 amMoney may have changed hands for illegal POGOs to get support from former government officials, Senator Juan Edgardo Angara said, as the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation said there were several other lobbyists aside from an ex-Cabinet secretary.
On Monday, the gaming regulator said “several government officials” approached the state gambling agency to lobby for the license of some POGOs. “Pagcor should name the ‘official!’ If not, committee chaired and headed by Senators Hontiveros and Gatchalian should unmask this official so that not all ‘former high ranking cabinet officials’ will be looked upon with suspicion to and find out if he or she violated any laws,” Escudero said.
Alano said Tengco will divulge what he knows in the next Senate hearing on July 10 if he will be invited. “These officials, whom we trusted to lead with integrity, have the bigger responsibility to do what is right. Any violation of laws on their part is a betrayal of public trust,” Gatchalian said.
