|July 12 2025
To regulate the growing exposure of Filipinos to gambling, the state-run Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (Pagcor) has ordered all gaming licensees, operators, suppliers, and system administrators to take down all gambling-related billboards and other out-of-home advertisements.
“We have given all our licensees and stakeholders until August 15 to completely remove all gambling-related ads,” said Pagcor Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Alejandro H. Tengco in a statement released on Friday, July 11.
“All licensees, suppliers, system administrators, and gaming venue operators” were given more than a month to comply with Pagcor’s new directive, which was issued to concerned entities last Monday, July 7.
