Supreme Court dismisses petition against POGO legality, citing procedural violations.

The Supreme Court (SC) has dismissed a petition challenging the legality of the rules on Philippine offshore gaming operators (POGOs), stating the petitioners violated the doctrine of hierarchy of courts and failed to meet the requirements for judicial review. The petitioners argued that the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (PAGCOR) had no authority to operate and regulate online or offshore gaming operations.
