State-run Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) may allow Philippine-listed gaming technology provider PhilWeb Corp. to go back to business on one condition – it should change its operations.
In an interview aired over ANC’s Headstart, PAGCOR chair Andrea Domingo had approached her twice to inform her that he had taken over from former PhilWeb chairman Roberto Ongpin.
Ongpin was singled out by Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte as “an oligarch that must be destroyed” when he assumed to power last year. It turned out that Ongpin was a victim of nasty rumors relayed to the president before he assumed power in July.
Domingo said she laid out a simple condition for PhilWeb to comply if it really wants to participate in the country’s vibrant gambling industry.
