Lazatin against Illegal operations

In October 2019, during his first term, Mayor Lazatin ordered the closure of "Golden Build Limited, Incorporated," a Chinese-operated Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO) firm. The company was operating illegally in Angeles City without a business permit and failing to pay taxes for its operations.[15]

In May 2020, Lazatin, with assistance from the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), shut down an illegal Chinese pharmacy. The majority of the patients at this unauthorized medical facility were Chinese employees of a POGO, located within a 300-hectare residential resort.[16]
