A former official from the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) has raised concerns about illegal POGO (People's Organization for Governance and Oversight) operations in Pampanga. The official pointed to the province as a key area requiring increased oversight due to the presence of unregulated activities. POGO operations, often linked to illegal gambling and organized crime, have been a growing concern in several regions of the Philippines. The warning comes amid ongoing efforts to tighten regulations on such activities across the country. Local authorities are now urged to step up monitoring and enforcement in Pampanga to prevent further proliferation of illegal operations. The official emphasized the need for collaboration between government agencies and local communities to address the issue effectively.
