/ 05:12 AM December 25, 2023

An Indonesian national, who used to work for a Philippine offshore gaming operator (Pogo) facility that was raided by law enforcement agents in June, was apprehended by agents of the Bureau of Immigration (BI) before he could board his flight to Singapore.

According to the BI, its agents intercepted Angga Pratama, 34, at Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 on Dec. 21.

He was flagged by immigration authorities upon noting a derogatory hit in the BI’s database bearing his name. Information from the BI’s Border Control Intelligence Unit revealed that Angga is charged with overstaying and working without a permit.
