The Philippine National Police (PNP) says it is intensifying efforts against alleged scam hubs that it believes have resurfaced after the government’s crackdown on Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (Pogos). In a statement, PNP chief Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. says authorities are verifying reports and intelligence suggesting that scam operations continue in parts of the country through smaller, “guerrilla-style” networks rather than large, centralized sites. He says the PNP has already dismantled several scam hubs, but that operations will continue to stop the activity, citing public protection and the rule of law. The PNP’s renewed push is framed as a response to indications that networks linked to former Pogos are adapting their methods and scale. The statement focuses on ongoing intelligence validation and continued police action, with no specific locations, numbers of suspects, or arrests detailed in the provided reports.
