MANILA — Senator Win Gatchalian stated that it is the “end of the road” for Shiela Guo and Cassandra Li Ong, urging both to disclose information to the Senate panel regarding the establishment of illegal Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs) in the country.
“It’s the end of the road for them. We have documents that will connect both of them to the POGO hubs in Porac and Bamban,” Gatchalian said on Monday, August 26, 2024.
“This is the end of the road; there’s nowhere else for them to go. It would be better if they revealed how these POGO hubs were set up in Porac and Bamban,” the senator added.
Earlier that afternoon, the Senate took custody of Guo from the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI).
Guo, along with Ong, is scheduled to appear at a Senate hearing on Tuesday, August 27, according to Senate spokesperson Atty. Arnel Jose Bañas.
The Senate medical team has already examined Guo to ensure her physical and mental well-being.
Meanwhile, Ong is currently in the custody of the House of Representatives.
