“That is why we have shut down the illegal ones and deported their people,” he added.
But when it comes to a blanket policy of banning the Pogo, Mr. Marcos said, “I don’t know what would be the point. It’s not a huge part of our economy. And if it’s adjudged that there is a social cost, it might not be worth it. The cost might not be worth what they’re paying in taxes anymore.” However, he said the Philippines could assist if China needs assistance with its crackdown against Pogos.
