NAGKALOOB ang Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) ng Php50 milyon na tulong pinansyal sa National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) upang palakasin ang kampanya kontra illegal gaming, kabilang ang ipinagbabawal na Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs).

Pormal na nilagdaan nitong Lunes sa PAGCOR Corporate Office sa Pasay City ang memorandum of agreement nina PAGCOR Chairman at CEO Alejandro H. Tengco at NBI Director Jaime Santiago.

Kasabay nito, ipinagkaloob sa NBI ang Php25 milyon bilang paunang bahagi ng ayuda sa ginanap na turnover ceremony.

Binigyang-diin ni G. Tengco na mahalaga ang partnership ng PAGCOR at NBI hindi lamang sa regulasyon ng gaming at pagkolekta ng kita para sa nation-building, kundi lalo na sa pagpapanatili ng integridad ng industriya.

“This morning, we are signing a memorandum of agreement that underscores the shared responsibility of PAGCOR and the NBI in promoting lawful, fair, and responsible gaming in the Philippines,” ani G. Tengco. “This assistance will defray the cost of food and expenses for POGO detainees, as well as support the Bureau’s legitimate operations against illegal gaming activities.

Dagdag pa ng PAGCOR chairman, sinisiguro ng kasunduan na ang taumbayan ang totoong makikinabang sa kita mula sa legal na sugal.

“Illegal gambling operators undermine our laws, exploit our people, and put our communities at risk. By working hand in hand with the NBI, we are sending a strong message that we will not allow unlawful gaming practices to persist,” giit pa ni G. Tengco.

Samantala, sinabi ni Santiago na malaking tulong ang suportang ibinigay ng PAGCOR upang higit pang mapalakas ang kakayahan ng NBI.

“The NBI welcomes PAGCOR’s assistance as it will enable us to step up our operations against illegal POGOs and other unlawful gaming activities. This partnership affirms our shared duty to uphold the law and protect the Filipino people,” pahayag ng opisyal.
