Today, the well-known landmark in the Philippines—the RCBC Building—was suddenly raided by law enforcement. According to sources, the operation mainly targeted a Vietnamese bookie located on a certain floor of the building. However, it is suspected that Company G had prior knowledge of the raid and quickly organized the evacuation of its employees, successfully avoiding the law enforcement investigation.
This raid has attracted industry attention, and there is widespread speculation about whether the incident will further involve the broader underground gambling industry chain. Currently, law enforcement has not yet made an official response regarding the specifics of the raid, and local news websites have not yet reported on the matter.
It is worth noting that on March 6, another iconic gambling building, the PBCom, was also suddenly inspected by law enforcement, but the gambling companies inside were suspected of having moved out in advance, and were not affected.
In recent years, the Philippine government has intensified its crackdown on illegal POGOs (Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators) in an effort to curb the expansion of transnational criminal networks. This raid not only highlights the government's determination to regulate illegal gambling but also hopes to further maintain the stability of the Philippines' financial and social order.
As illegal POGO operations become rampant, the Philippine government is adopting a more decisive stance in addressing this issue. This raid is not only a powerful strike against transnational criminal networks but also lays a solid foundation for the long-term security of Philippine society.
