THE government has launched an extensive crackdown on illegal activities linked to the now-banned Philippine offshore gaming operators (POGOs), including the cancellation of fraudulently obtained birth certificates by foreign nationals and the forefeiture of illegally acquired real estate and other assets.
Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra emphasized on Wednesday that these efforts are critical for upholding laws governing immigration and property ownership. He highlighted the broader implications of POGO-related abuses, particularly the exploitation of legal loopholes and threats to national security.
