Chinese-backed firms that are largely based in Metro Manila and employ tens of thousands of Chinese workers, Pogos rocketed in number after President Rodrigo Duterte took office in 2016. The problem is, the government does not know how many Pogo companies there are, how many people they employ, nor whether they are paying any taxes. And while economists and finance officials feel the Pogos should be paying more, government leaders cannot seem to agree on how to deal with the gambling firms.<\/p>\n<p><\/font><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"320px\" src=\"http:\/\/s279572699.onlinehome.us\/banners\/iframe_banner_hera_h.html\" border=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowtransparency=\"false\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><font size=\"4\"><br \/>In the past three years, Pogos have snapped up office space in Manila, paying premium prices, to the delight of real estate firms.

Congressman Ruffo Biazon told This Week in Asia: <em>&ldquo;There are downstream economic activities where we earn &hellip; real estate is booming because of the Chinese.
