A GOOD majority of adult Filipinos expressed their support for banning Philippine offshore gaming operators (POGOs) in the country, the latest survey of OCTA Research showed.

The Tugon ng Masa poll, conducted from June 26 to July 1, showed 83 percent of the 1,200 respondents answered 'yes' when asked if they supported the ban, while 12 percent responded 'no.' The remaining 5 percent was neutral.
