Should the government ban Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs)?

Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs) target foreign gamblers but operate within the Philippines. While they once contributed billions to the economy, recent raids have linked them to "scam farms," torture, and human trafficking. Proponents argue they are a social menace and a national security risk that corrupts local enforcement. Opponents argue that banning them destroys jobs and real estate value, and that the government should focus on taxation and regulation instead.
