The Philippines’ former top online gambling licensing body has had its wings further clipped to adhere to the orders of Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte.

This weekend, Raul Lambino, CEO of the Cagayan Economic Zone Authority (CEZA), announced that the agency had signed separate supplemental agreements with First Cagayan Leisure and Resort Corp (FCLRC) and the North Cagayan Gaming and Amusement Corp (NCGAC) on November 20.

The two companies served as master licensors for gambling operations based in CEZA, with FCLRC handling online gambling and NCGAC overseeing land-based operations. The new agreements give CEZA exclusive control of “regulatory functions and powers over all gaming operators, land-based and offshore.”

The Executive Order #13 that Duterte issued in February clarified that online licensees must contain all their operations – including business process outsourcing (BPO) operations – within the borders of the economic zone that issued their license.
