“Sinasabi ni Sen. Christopher Lawrence Go na matagal na siyang laban sa Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators.”
What Vera Files found
Si Go ay isa sa 17 senador na bumoto noong Hunyo 2, 2021 pabor sa Senate Bill No. 2232 na kumikilala sa offshore online gaming bilang legal, at nagpapataw ng buwis sa mga POGO. Noong 2023, hindi niya pinirmahan ang magkasanib na ulat ng dalawang komite ng Senado, na nagsabing ang mga pinsala sa lipunan ng mga POGO ay mas matindi kaysa sa mga benepisyo nito sa ekonomiya at inirekomenda ang unti-unting pag-phaseout ng mga POGO.
