The Police Regional Office (PRO-6) has not monitored any Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) sites in Western Visayas.

Police Lieutenant Colonel Arnel Solis, PRO-6 spokesperson, said the region is free from the presence of illegal gaming operators based on the latest report of their intelligence units.

“It is part of the tasks of our intelligence operatives and units to monitor and determine if illegal activities are happening in an area,” he explained.

Solis appealed to the public to immediately coordinate with authorities if they notice suspicious persons and activities in their areas.

“In case of violations, our police officers are ready to operate. Not only Police Regional Office 6 but, of course, our national support units like the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) and the Regional Anti-Cyber Crime Unit are there to help us when needed,” he said.IMT
