POGOs initially offered the prospect of economic benefits, including jobs and revenue. But raids exposed the festering underbelly of the industry: corruption and crime, such as human trafficking and cyberfraud. President Marcos' shutdown, while necessary, unleashed a new wave of consequences. Vast POGO hubs abandoned; deportations tearing families apart, leaving behind "POGO babies". This 24 Oras series explores the devastating human cost of the POGO saga and what it left behind in its wake.
