Security at the Davao International Airport (DIA) in Davao City is tightened after a Chinese national who allegedly managed a Philippine offshore gaming operator (POGO) hub was arrested after she attempted to flee on June 23, 2024.

The Chinese national arrested was identified as an alleged manager of an alleged illegal POGO hub raided by authorities in Porac, Pampanga.

She was also included in the watchlist of the Bureau of Immigration (BI).

DIA said it will strengthen its coordination with BI to ensure that those in the watchlist could not leave.

“Nakikipag-coordinate po tayo sa lahat ng government agency concerning mga ganyang matters,” DIA Police Station Chief, Major Dennis Mark Enargan, said.

The Police Regional Office-Davao (PRO-11) also assured that there is no POGO hub operation in the region.
