The issue on POGOs is widely discussed and debated with Senator Risa Hontiveros in a presentation that linked the operations to illegal recruitment, illegal detention, and sexual harassment.
President Rodrigo Duterte, on the other hand, did not agree on the proposed ban, as he did not believe the operations are linked to corrupt practices.
