LIVE: Senate hearing on the 'pastillas scheme' in POGO industry

MANILA, Philippines – The Senate women and children committee will continue its hearing on Tuesday, September 22, the"pastillas scheme" and the possible link of the offshore gaming operators to money laundering in the Philippines.

In previous hearings, Senator Risa Hontiveros, committee chairperson, had vowed to “look into the possible links of POGO operations to our government officials” since an industry cannot bring “a whole spectrum of crimes into the country: illegal recruitment, illegal detention, sexual harassment, prostitution, etc,” without protection from the authorities.

The Philippines as scavenger of the trash that the communist govt. of China declared illegal for being harmful to its society. Sayang hindi ma white sand ang dire effects ng gambling, prostitution, kidnapping drug use, extortion, etc. that come with it.
