Philippine RCBC Building raided, could the 6789 Building be the next target?

RCBC and PBCom are well-known commercial buildings in Manila, Philippines, which have been in the spotlight over the past few years due to their close ties with the POGO industry. The recent police raid on RCBC has once again proven that these upscale business towers have become important hideouts for illegal gambling enterprises.

Especially since the raid on the PBCom building failed just two weeks ago, the Philippine police quickly shifted their focus to RCBC, reflecting the Philippine authorities' acceleration in their efforts to decisively dismantle the entire POGO industry chain in the short term. This series of actions clearly shows that the Philippine government's attitude towards gambling has undergone a significant change: from relaxing regulations in the past to attract foreign investment, to now adopting a tough stance and completely turning to a comprehensive crackdown.

Based on the current situation, future raid targets are likely to include Entertainment City in Manila Bay, Quezon City, Pasay City, Cebu, and the Clark Economic Zone, as well as those high-end residential areas with hidden "ghost offices."

From the incidents at RCBC and PBCom, it is evident that the actions of the Philippine authorities have been very precisely targeted at specific buildings. Many industry insiders also speculate that the 6789 building may soon become the next target of a raid.
