POGO's first arrival here in the Philippines was already scolded by the last president Roa Duterte.
Now, it's time to clean it up so that this administration can feel better for themselves. This is politics, expect something like this will happen especially with money involved.

If they were really guilty of the last paragraph of the article then it’s a nice move by the government to close down the business - no matter what they represent on the outside as long as they are really doing things like human trafficking and illegal drugs behind the scenes then it’s always god for government agencies to go after such companies.
But if that last part was just included just so the government would have a more appealing comments on what to talk about or their reasons for closing it down then that would be considered a shitting tactic but if they are really involved in trafficking humans the kudos to the government.
Whatever the reasons for closing the hub are legitimate and whatever the way people may view gambling (haram or sin), it cannot be ignored that these companies represent an important source of support for the budgets of countries. The taxes imposed on this type of service companies (entertainment gambling) may reach more than 50% of the total profits in some legislations and in my country the taxes withheld on the profits from betting and types of competitions reach 66%. This leads us to conclude whether it is really wise to close these companies for any reason and lose tax revenues in addition to what this will cause in terms of sending employees to unemployment. I am not saying that we should not hold accountable those involved in suspicious activities, but this can be done individually without having to shut down the service completely. I do not know the laws in the Philippines, but I am sure that some decisions need to be reviewed and amended.
