PAGCOR wants to reopen casinos later within this month or either next month to generate business revenue and employees can go back to work. For almost three months of the closure of land-based casinos, companies had no choice but to lay off 7,600 employees. Even Okada Casino will lay off 1,000 employees because of revenue losses.

Now to prevent more layoffs,  PAGCOR, and most business operators are preparing for the reopening, they will ensure that they will strictly implement the government's protocol to keep social distancing and the safety of employees and customers.

It may be a problem for other people because it will be risky to open casinos during the pandemic but it is said that 132,000 employees will benefit once they reopen casino operations. Let's just hope that once they will finally open, it won't cause more positive cases in the country.

Just like you, bitcoin is also my priority in investing here in crypto and there's no doubt that this coin will be more valuable in the next coming years. There are plenty of shitcoins in the market and we need to avoid that kind of coin because they won't bring any income to us. And about the list OP provided, it seems that I only have 1 coin there which is the Ethereum, the rest of the list is new to me. I also don't see Binance coin which is also a good coin with a promising future in the market for me. But I know that we have a different perspective when it comes to our cryptocurrency investment but never forget bitcoin in your portfolio.

Not all of us are a good trader and not even good at analyzing projects that's why some are only sticking with the top altcoins like Binance and Ethereum or they are already tired of doing it because of scam projects out there. But, if you are really good at it, there's no doubt that you can really make a good profit per day

Scammers and fraudsters will use a popular platform to scam more people, and it's nothing new. It's just disappointing that a lot of people fall for these scams, and no one is even telling them or advising them to be careful about giveaways. This is not just about being greedy because who wouldn not want to win something right? But newbies are more prone to this kind of scam because they still lack knowledge.

That's why I don't really believe with YouTube giveaways or even other giveaways that easily without checking if it's a legit one or not. But just like what they said, we cannot inform everyone or tell them one by one to be careful about it so it's better to report suspicious giveaways than doing nothing.

But according to this article that it is not really the main solution or vaccine for the virus.

There is no assurance that this medicine will treat COVID patients. If this medicine worked with other patients, there are also patients who tested this drug but didn't work out. So they can't just let everyone use this as a treatment because it will put all patients at risk with no 100% assurance that they will get treated when they intake this drug.

HCQ is being used even before to treat other illnesses but COVID-19 is new so they can't just let the patients use it without further study on how this will help to stop the pandemic.

I don't consider this as gambling because the players or the kids don't earn any money as a reward whenever they will spend money on that game. Because for me, gambling is risking something valuable in exchange for getting something valuable. But since they reward they will get will only be useful in that game, I don't think it's gambling. I mean a lot of games also offer rewards if you will spend money on that game.

But if this game is mostly for kids and minors, I don't think they should also require such offers like that because where do kids get the money? However, I also understand that the government is just trying to protect the kids in any future harm if this game is really addicting. Parents also play an important role and they should be the first ones to guide and monitor their children when using gadgets.

Basically, it's a good strategy to stick with top-performing altcoins or in bitcoin, especially if you're still a newbie. During the time I started in the crypto world, I stick with bitcoin then also started to invest in other cryptocurrencies in the market. Today is still a good opportunity to buy altcoins especially those who have established good performance in the market. It is always advisable to conduct further research whenever we are planning to invest in any cryptocurrencies. Unlike in the past quarter where bitcoin reaches 4000$, we are now seeing a rapid growth of the market that is why I think it's the proper time to buy more altcoins because, in the next few quarters, I believe that the market will grow even more.

Probably, the majority of us are still buying strong performing altcoins such as Ethereum and Binance coin, as well as searching for new altcoins with a good future in the market. But the best thing to do is to learn how to become a good trader and analyze the market since it will help you to determine what coins have the chance to pump or get dumped in the future.

But the question is, what options does the government have to fix or even handle this pandemic? How many options do they have, and what is the best one among the others? For me, it's really hard to speak about the best alternative since this pandemic is a big issue and it's not easy to handle. Even the government is having a hard fine to evaluate and make decisions because it includes the whole citizen of a country that may suffer from the option they choose.

Most government is now trying to slowly reopen businesses to avoid further economic recession, but they should have also given time for health care to ensure that these people going back to work will be safe and get treated in case they will get infected.

Well, safe naman gumamit ng gcash at wala naman mangyayari masama sa funds mo kung hindi binabahagi ang iyong information sa iyong gcash account. Most of the cases kasi nangyayari nag lalog in yung mga user sa mga link na nakikita nila and di nila alam na fake yun and tanging hangarin lang non ay makuha ang kanilang information. May mga spam message rin akong natatanggap and hindi lang sa text pati na rin sa mga email kaya kung ikaw ay walang alam sa ganitong bagay at basta-basta nalang maniniwala sa ganon panigurado talagang mawawalan ka ng funds. I guess kaya naman siguro matract ng gcash team kung saan sinesend ng scammer yung funds dahil tulad ng sinabi ng iba dito need don ng verified which you need mo magpasa ng mga ID para makawithdraw. Tandaan lang wag tayo magpapadala sa mga nagtetext satin lalo kung nakalagay don ay nanalo ka ng ganitong halaga and para maclaim mo ang iyong prizes need mo mag log-in dito sa link na binigay and most of the time ganyan yung nila para makapang scam.

Maraming paraan para ma secure mo pa ang iyong account pero at isa na dito ay wag mo ibabahagi ang information at wag ka rin basta-basta magcliclick ng kung anong-anong link.

For me, it's okay for countries with a low number of COVID cases to reopen businesses such as land-based casinos cause I believe they can handle it when they reopen. Though I understand that countries can't stop everything for months because of the economy, but those who countries who are facing so much struggle with the pandemic, it will be such a big risk to reopen non-essential businesses.

If casinos really need to open their business and employees need to go to work, it's up to the gamblers if they want to risk their health just to gamble or not. Once they open casinos, no one will force them to gamble or not, so if it's okay for them to go to a land-based casino, they just need to be extra careful with the environment and people around them.

I don't think they really cared for every customer they have since what is important for them is money. There's nothing to be thankful or give some empathy towards them because that's just how it works. Rather than them, I think we are the ones who give benefits to casinos because they are gaining income because of gamblers, not us. Curses and criticism are normal especially when gamblers are getting pissed from continuously losing. Why is it needed to give empathy? Do they give empathy to their customers? I mean, do they care if their customers become addicted to gambling?

Business and customer relationship is purely giving what each other's need to satisfy them. You give them money, they give you entertainment and a small prize. They can celebrate from achieving something or being a successful business, but not that we are the ones who should make a celebration for them.

This kind of question will never end because they will keep on asking it until they get the answer they really want. You really got the point @samcrypto, the only answer to this question is doing deep research about a certain cryptocurrency. I know for the fact that some of us are lazy in doing research that's why there are people who end up encountering scam projects. In addition, there are plenty of altcoins in the market that somehow have the potential to grow x10 in the next bull but most of the time the top altcoins have the biggest chances to get it. OP, I want to ask what coin did you buy 2 years ago?

We never know what coin will pump up to 10x because of this volatile market, but for me, I will go with the strong altcoin on the market.

Walang mali sa pag share ng knowledge and information na meron kayo especially about bitcoin, crypto, and sa forum na to. Pero mas maganda kung klaro yung pag bibigay ng information kasi gaya nga ng sabi nila, pwedeng maconfuse sila about dito. Kasi kung wala ka talagang alam tas makakakita ka ng ganito na kikita by posting, baka isipin nila na madali lang ito which is not kasi nga quality parin talaga.

Ituloy nya lang ang paggawa ng mga informative vlogs related sa crypto kasi maraming pwedeng matuto dito. Pero dapat i-include parin yung mga mahahalagang bagay na hindi lang puro positive dito and such. Magandang tulong din kasi ito sa mga beginners or sa iba na makilala ang bitcoin, pero  dapat hindi lang one sided yung opinion kasi marami ring risk ang nakasalalay dito. Pero yun, sana ay makatulong sya sa mga gusto talagang matuto.

I will add him once na naging active na ulit dito sa forum at sa local kahit based sa post history nya 2019 pa last post nya.

Almost all countries are affected by this virus, what more in India since it has the most number of cases of COVID-19 in Asia, and it's really affecting the country's economy.  Most countries with high cases are also struggling with unemployment due to the lockdown and closing of businesses. But as far as I have seen, even when most businesses are closed, cases are still increasing so it means that it's not enough to deal with the pandemic.

After months of lockdown, some businesses are now starting to reopen to get back what they have lost which is we are still not sure if it will be a good idea or not. They are reopening businesses since the longer most businesses are not functioning, the economy might crash. But there is still a risk that once most businesses are opened, cases might increase more. We also have to adapt to the new normal while COVID is still there and wait until the vaccine is available to fully recover from all of the losses.

With that move, I don't think it will be the end of the pandemic, rather it will only lead to more cases or a second wave. Opening flights and nonessential businesses are already a risk though I understand if they are worried about their economy. But would not it be more threatening since they are opening businesses that fast even though there is still a high number of cases?

Even if we say that they will provide strict protocols, it does not give assurance that no one will get infected by COVID. Will they decrease the limit of passengers on every flight? The more they quickly open nonessential businesses, they are just endangering the health of their people. They don't have to hurry opening casinos, because there are also other businesses that can help the economy, not just casinos. It's not that I don't want casinos to open, but they should also look at the current status of their country when it comes to the pandemic. I just hope they will think carefully about this because they are putting risk on everyone.

I will agree with @barnabe, if it's about security money for long-term, gold is definitely safer than bitcoin. I personally think that choosing between the two is based on what is your purpose of investing. Within just half a year, a lot of unexpected things already happened like this pandemic. And we are still not sure what will happen next, so if you are planning on a long-run investment just to secure funds, for me it's gold. But if you will be investing for the purpose of potential profit, bitcoin is better because of its volatility.

I think this topic of which is better as a safe haven has been discussed here in the forum for a lot of time. But for me, it's really not necessary to compare Bitcoin and gold because they are different from each other. The answer to this will still vary from different perspectives

Indeed. It may be boring for us, but we really need to understand the situation and it's not us who will be at risk when sports events will resume in the middle of the pandemic, it's the athletes and other people organizing an event. And we also have to accept and understand those "new normal" to be implemented if we really want sports betting to continue because it's for their own safety. We still have the option, if we don't want to adapt to the new normal betting, then we can just wait until this pandemic is gone before we can gamble. But if you can't wait longer, let's be thankful that slowly some sports events are resuming again.

For sports bettors who really love games, it will be hard for them to wait enough longer since they have already waited for a long time. If they can implement strict protocols and received the approval of the authorities, then they can reopen again, I also believe that safety comes first.

Thank you @Bttzed03 and na check ko naman na yung profile nila and may post talaga dito sa local board natin and yung Flighty inamin nya na filipino sya. I will add them right away. Subukan ko na iutilize yung list na yan para makita pa natin kung sino pa ang mga ph user na active dito sa forum.

Akin ng babaguhin ang availability ni julerz12 and thank you dahil napansin mo. Titignan ko rin yang thread na binigay mo and tingin ko rin naman pinoy yung 2 user na sinabi dahil may mga post sila dito sa local. Then. I will also add them in the list. Siguro marami din Pinoy na most active sa labas ng local natin kaya hindi natin masabi na pinoy sila and sana marami pa akong malagay sa list na mga active ph users.

Edit: updated na po yung list and hindi ko po ma add sina carlisle1, ultrloa at matchi2011 dahil nagkakaroon error sa tuwing nagdadag pa ako ng isa sa list. Ito po yung error invalid bbcode: loop, probably closed tags.

Mainam na busisiihin at magresearch na maayus kung ikaw ay sasali sa isang bounty campaign dahil tulad ng mga nababasa ko dito na hindi na masyadong profitable ang pagsali ng mga bounty campaigns. Then, ang pagreresearch bago sumali ng mga campaign ay nakakatulong upang magkaroon ng malaking chances na kumita ng malaki and porket na libre lang sumali ay wala ka ng gagawin kundi sumali ng sumali kahit alam mo na walang kasiguraduhan na kikita ka at tama yung pinupunto ni @pealr12 masasayang lang ang iyong oras at effort kung ang masasalihan mo ay isang scam na bounty campaign/project.

Ugaliin natin pag reresearch wag yung paminsan-minsan lang and allot more time on doing it dahil talagang malaking tulong ito kung ikaw ay sasali sa mga campaign at gustong kumita ng malaki.

Well if the IATF allowed the reopening of land-based casinos, then it's up to the casino operators whether to open immediately or not. But of course, they also need to imply strict safety protocols to ensure that everyone in the facility is safe. I guess they will only allow casinos if they will provide information on how they will apply the protocols for the new normal. And deciding whether to gamble or not is still yours at the end of the day, just make sure you'll be extra careful because going outside is already a risk.

There is no doubt that they will consider this proposal because we can't remove the fact that casinos also plays a big role in the economy. Not just from tax revenue, but also hundreds of employees are affected by this, so we'll just see what will they do about this.

They should really focus on the more important matter compared to this terror bill because people won't stop protesting unless they will not pass this bill. The more people protest outside, the more chances that this virus will just continue to increase, and it's threatening.

I have made a new update on this thread and added some users to the list. Hoping to see more active ph users here in the forum.

I already added Inthelongrun in the list and sana maging active na sya ulit dito sa local at sa forum.

Marami akong bagong nakita na mga member na active dito sa local and yung iba sa kanila ay newbie at jr.member. Most of the campaign nagrerequired na ngayon ng full member pataas para makasali and lalo na kung sasalihan mo na campaign ay nagbabayad ng bitcoin. Siguro kahit wala kang campaign ngayon mas mainam na mag bigay ka pa rin ng time para makapag contribute dito sa forum dahil mas malaki yung chances mo na matanggap pag may open/new na campaign.

Kung may mga nakita pa kayong mga ph user na active dito sa forum at sa local pakireply naman dito para maidagdag natin sila sa list. Thank you mga kabayan!!!!
