Following the discovery of alleged illegal activities at a Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) hub in Barangay Anupul, Bamban, Tarlac, the Tarlac Police Provincial Office (PPO) is now inspecting every barangay thoroughly in the province to ensure there are no other illegal POGO hubs operating.

"Mino-monitor natin ang lahat ng barangay, ang 511 barangays dito sa lalawigan ng Tarlac; at patuloy tayong nagkakaroon ng pag-conduct ng barangay visitation kasama ang barangay tanod na nagbi-visibility patrol," PCOL. Miguel Guzman, Provincial Director of Tarlac PPO, said.

The Philippine National Police (PNP) is also seeking the cooperation of barangay officials.
