"President Duterte has signed an executive order further regulating the issuance of gambling licenses – including those for online operations – and directing the Philippine National Police (PNP) and National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to go after gambling syndicates and unlicensed operators."

After its war on drugs, The Philippines is now going full swing on its anti-gambling campaign.
After being booted out from President Rodrigo Duterte's war on drugs, the Philippine National
Police (PNP) will now be entering a "war against illegal gambling."

What's your thoughts on this? Duterte really means business and he really wants to clean
his country.

Yes, Duterte really wants to clean up the mess in the country. But I dont think it will be an easy task. It is more difficult than war on drugs because many people gambles online. They cannot trace it everytime. And also many illegal operators are still in small towns that is hard to reach. Jueting is still alive and kicking base on my observations and also some illegal cock fighting.

I believe that gambling site should be  registered and they must set up a regulation body to regulate the affair s of  gambling in Philippines, regulating agencies should watch and fine or suspended any gambling company that does not follow due diligence in their operations it will check illegal gambling

[novemberwoah]

President Duterte will only eradicate illegal gambling, while the legal gambling will be safe. Gambling will be eradicated with a target of 6 months, if it was truly successful certainly incredible. It aims to strengthen the war (against) illegal gambling and clarify the jurisdiction and authority of the agencies involved in the regulation and licensing of gambling and online gaming facilities. He really will clean the Philippines, and I think it be a good step. I look at other news this war there would be no casualties, unlike the war against drugs before.

He is sincere in cleaning the mess of the Philippines, he may not eradicate all at least people can see that the government is serious for having a big change in the country I hope that my countrymen could see this as a big opportunity for us and let us unite as one nation for a change for the future of our child and the coming generation.

Duterte making a big mistake. He fights against windmills like don Quixote. How many thousands of years trying to deal with prostitution and what? If the phenomenon can not be defeated it must lead.

And why is that? What mistake are you saying here? He is fighting illegal gambling which is rampant in his country. He may not totally eradicate it but at least somehow lessen those illegal bookies in his country.

How can you believe in such tales? What you do is stopping gambling? Well let Duterte shut down all gambling business, what's next? Now there are casinos on the Internet. Who played will continue to play without leaving home. What you will achieve?

I thought the same thing, anyone who has internet can gamble all day long. If they use bitcoin the government will not even know what is happening.

[electronicash]

its just the illegal gambling. the legal ones can still operate freely.  if you are using bitcoin and doing it on directbet or any poker sites, the campaign would be useless still. what the president wants are for those illegal operators to comply.

It seems to me that Duterte not so much struggling with drugs and illegal gambling as creating the kind of intense activity. It's just cheap PR. You know the Olympic creed the important thing is not victory, the main participation.

[FlightyPouch]

I think he is really desperate on cleaning his country. Or really he loves his country so much that he dont want to let any citizens of that country to be holding any drugs.
Signing a new executive order for drugs means that the tokhang (correct the spelling) is not successful finding new ways to stop the drug from spreading in the country. If this was signed by him before the extrajudicial killings, i think there will be no lives that will be in vain.
I think there will be a lot of drug users now are changing their lives but they are dead now. I think he is being hasty on his decisions, yes i understand that he is having a lot of problem regarding his country ( based on one of his interview in davaou) but he must really think what his people might say, being hasty as a leader is a danger to hes controlled people.

[Sithara007]

People resort to online gambling, when legalized gambling is not available. But if Duterte thinks that he can regulate the online gambling, then he is a fool. How can he regulate some online site, which is based in Russia or China?

[Mr. Big]

Let me guess, this will turn out to be another unfinished business... 

He never ended war on drugs, as he promised in three months, six months, then stop as they say they have to reorganize, but the truth is, they can't stop it... Aside from that, he promised that he wants to end corruption, but still, unfinished...

And now, here we are, war on illegal gambling... The only gamblers that I know that they keep on catching where those drivers playing cara y cruz on their terminals, and those people playing inside the house...

What will he end next? drinking alcohol, and cigarette?   

[poulembertus]

all bitcoin gambling is anonymous and not regulation
so this bitcoin gambling can't operational in philipines

[Kemarit]

There are laws that regulated gambling in the Philippines. I think Duterte's target in his campaign
is the illegal one, like jueteng, STL (small time lottery) and others. However, I think with this
campaign he will be targetting on-line gambling as well. If you would recall last year, he singled
out Ongpin, and according to Duterte, an oligarch, which prompted Mr. Ongpin to sell his stake to
protect the electronic gambling company (Philweb) and its workers. He said he owns 53.76 percent
of Manila-based PhilWeb, a supplier of electronic gambling software he founded in 2000.

I don't know what's his plan on those on-line gambling sites that is accessible thru the internet.
I think if will be very difficult to block those sites. It will take a lot of cooperation from different
service providers in the Philippines just to get those sites not accessible to the country. And Filipinos
will always find a way how to access those sites anyways so for me this will not be a successful
campaign. They should only targets those illegal juetengs, masiao, STL, pusoy and other forms of
illegal games.
