Since President Duterte took office, POGO has been thriving, and the Yang brothers have established their stronghold in Davao, undoubtedly with the backing of the Duterte family. It has been said that the Yang Group's maritime shipments pass through customs without any issues. Additionally, there are claims that during Duterte's anti-drug campaign, a bounty known as "per head fee" was offered for each person killed, funded by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO).
