ZURICH, Switzerland: President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. said that it is time for the Philippine government to reexamine its policy on Philippine offshore gaming operators (POGOs) to determine if their presence is still beneficial to the country.

Marcos made the statement after Finance Secretary Benjamin Diokno said that the country should do away with POGOs, citing their social and reputational risks.
