PRESIDENT Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. is 'closely monitoring' all the issues linked to Philippine offshore gaming operators' (POGOs) in the country, Malacañang assured the public Wednesday.

Office of the Press Secretary Officer in Charge Cheloy Garafil made the statement after the Chinese Embassy denied placing the Philippines on its blacklist for tourist destinations supposedly because travelers might be involved in illegal activities linked to POGOs.
