Филипини – ПАГЦОР сугерише да би Боракај могао да се врати на карте

Alfredo Lim, PAGCOR President and Chief Operating Officer, has said that the five license applications that had been received before a suspension, including Galaxy Entertainment’s plans for a casino in Boracay, will still be processed.

The other four licenses include one for a casino in Clark from Udenna Corp; a casino in Masbate in Luzon from Century Golden, a casino in Cavite promoted by Prime Asset Ventures in Cavite and a casino in Davao from EDC Ventures.
The blueprint for a casino on the island of Boracay by Galaxy Entertainment and its partner Leisure and Resorts World Corp. grabbed headlines when it was spectacularly halted by President Duerte in January in a move to protect existing casinos and prevent oversupply.

Ben Lee, managing partner at iGamix, told Macau News Agency (MNA), said: “We were previously led to believe by the former PAGCOR administrations that the private casino operators would be restricted to just Manila Bay, a designated special or a Presidential Economic Zone.”

Casinos in the Philippines generated GGR of US$3.3bn in 2017, up 12 per cent.
