MANILA, Philippines — The Senate panel investigating illegal Philippine offshore gaming operators (Pogos) will be inviting Lin Xunhando888, a Pogo boss under the identity of Lyu Dong, to its next hearing, Senator Risa Hontiveros confirmed Friday.

“We will also write to the courts handling his cases to have Pogo boss Lyu Dong attend the final hearing,” Hontiveros said in Filipino.

“In Lyu Dong’s latest arrest, if there are theories linking him to Guo Hua Ping, we need to establish that connection,” she added.
