No Chinese firms running POGOs, PAGCOR claims

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. said Friday there were no Chinese firms in Philippine Offshore Gaming Operations or POGOs.

Victor Padilla, senior manager of PAGCOR’s policy and offshore gaming licensing division, was replying to questions when asked how PAGCOR ensured that Chinese firms in the POGOs were following Philippines laws and paying the proper taxes.

“These are not Chinese corporations. These are offshore companies with local companies in the Philippines,” Padilla said, addressing the question why the Philippines was a safe haven for POGO when gambling is even prohibited in China.

Although most players are Chinese, Padilla said POGOs did not necessarily cater to the Chinese market alone. 

“We are sure that a lot of players are Chinese because we all know that there are a lot of Chinese people all over the world and their culture is they like gambling,” Padilla said.

“But it does not automatically mean that they are all from China. Players are mostly Chinese, but we are not sure if in fact they are all from China,” he added.
