The department warned that people who have participated in fraudulent activities risk the cancelation of their AEPs or even prison time.
In the wake of the raid, the Philippine Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) will undergo a thorough assessment of the Alien Employment Permits (AEPs) which allow foreigners to work for local gambling operators and companies.Īs a result, the DOLE will look into as many as 42,000 foreigners working for POGO companies and take punitive action if it learns that some of them are involved in crime. Previously, authorities busted an illegal POGO operation that was involved in human trafficking and found that a number of local police workers may have been involved. The Philippine authorities continue the crackdown on Philippine Online Gaming Operator-related crime.
