Perhaps many people are still fantasizing that the ban on POGO by Xiao Ma is just for show. However, all political means are for the sake of interests, and what exactly Xiao Ma is selling in his gourd will gradually become apparent.
Especially in a capitalist country structure like the Philippines, it is always the major conglomerates and political families that mutually achieve success. Many major news items seem sudden, but in reality, they have been discussed countless times among the top circles to ensure their own interests are completely safe before being made public.
Following this logic, it's not hard to understand why many big POGO group bosses and executives have already secretly left the Philippines.
Moreover, they have already found new "nests" in places like Myanmar, and are busily making "moving preparations."
For gambling companies, the biggest asset is "employees," since this industry is still highly labor-intensive. The Philippine officials claim there are 100,000 registered gambling employees within the country, but the actual number may be much higher, and relocating these people is not a simple matter.
The Philippine official policy explicitly requires these employees holding POGO work visas to downgrade their visas and leave the country by October 15. However, netizens have revealed that some POGO companies are demanding their employees leave the country directly with a 9G work visa, a move that those in the know understand is akin to killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. Exiting with a POGO work visa means definitely being blacklisted, with no chance of returning to the Philippines later.
From here, it can also be seen that these companies have completely given up on the Philippines.
So, under these circumstances, are there still people fantasizing about going to the Philippines to make a fortune in gambling?
PS: A large number of gambling employees switching to countries like Myanmar, Indonesia?
