Recently, the Philippine government has been taking major actions, aiming to stop all POGOs before Christmas. Many municipal governments have issued orders to inspect illegal residents in their jurisdictions, and many apartments are conducting censuses on Chinese tenants.
Many landlords in the Philippines are now reluctant to rent to Chinese tenants, and the police are encouraging landlords to provide rental information to report illegal Chinese residents!
Everyone should be more cautious when going out and be aware of safety, as the situation has changed from before!
There are also netizens who submitted that this might be a joint clean-up operation between the Philippines and China:
"I received a message from home asking where I am, and the next day they asked me to provide proof of employment and a phone number, and then sent me a whitelist document to fill out and feedback according to the information on the whitelist. How should I fill out this whitelist??
I wonder if other expatriates have received similar notifications?"
PS: After the administrative ban on POGO came out, it seems that the Philippines has indeed started taking major actions.
