SENATE probers are keen to invite gaming regulators for further details on the weekend revelation by Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation Chairman and CEO Alejandro Tengco that a former Cabinet official tried to facilitate the grant of gaming licenses to some of the illegal Pogos recently raided and found engaged in illegal activities.
Guesting at the weekend at DWIZ’s “Usapang Senado,” Gatchalian said besides asking for a copy of a report, the Senate panels will call Pagcor officials if the “Pagcor investigation has a good paper trail.” The Pagcor chief said he will reveal at the proper forum the identity of the former Cabinet member who had been lobbying for the illegal Pogos, as well as the circumstances that led to the proliferation of illegal and criminal offshore gaming operations.
Tengco stressed that the current administration has been doing its part to weed out illegal operators, resulting in the significant decrease in the number of licensees from 298 during the previous administration to only 43 licensees now.
