PAGCOR waiting for the approval to reopen land-based casinos.

What I'm saying is it's possible that virus can be transmitted in a casino, but other industries or businesses will be more prone to that.

I think it would be more prone to casinos.

Some people are actually thinking that the virus is no more and they treat it like a normal day with just a facemask on.  Despite the "new normal", I think people would still be at risk since a lot of people would obviously be in a table they can't stop people from coming in and out of the place. I hope more people would realize that it is riskier to bet in a casino.

It's prone to anywhere, it only depend on the measures a certain establishment would do, if they follow then the risk is less, if not it's high, that is because the virus is here, it will stay for awhile at it could infect in any way. Let us not underestimate it, instead of complaining why this industry or that industry is allow to open, I think we just need to understand the main purpose on why it was allowed, and just follow all the measures and be responsible all the time.

It might be soon, but for now the number of infected are still increasing here in the Philippines. I know Philippine government still working on that. Hoping for there best  response if they allow to reopen the gambling industry or they have to remain it close for the safety of there people.

Still increasing and the government can't stop it.

In the same case, we will never be able to stop the approval of PAGCOR since as far as I know it is already approved. All we can hope right now is for them to follow the new norm. It is the best choice for the people and the country itself since we will be able to regain slowly the dumping economy of the country and the people getting back to their jobs.

We are talking of over 100k jobs, so it's not possible that they will close PAGCOR and will just allow it to open when the vaccine is release or this problem is over. They can actually make some statistics, which I'm pretty sure if there's cases due to PAGCOR operation, they would not lead in number of cases.

What I'm saying is it's possible that virus can be transmitted in a casino, but other industries or businesses will be more prone to that.

It's almost the same as other businesses. They need to reopen to earn income, as well as their employees. The government also needs businesses to operate to save the economy. The only difference is, workers are risking their lives to make a living while gamblers are risking their lives to risk money.

Talking about resuming of operation, I saw this article saying that PAGCOR already allowed POGOs to resume their operation. However, those who haven't cleared their tax obligation was not granted approval to operate.  Only 11 POGOs secured their clearance to BIR and permitted of Authority to Resume Operation (ARO), while some were remain pending. It is also stated that there are 60 licensed POGO in the country yet the majority still have an issue with tax so they still can't resume their operation.

Yes, they were already allowed to operate and the government are really making money from this operation, it's also a billion pesos revenue in terms of taxes.

This is the time that the government has to be strict, we need funds for our economy and we need people who are honest with their job, they should collect what is due to them as they can use that money to fund the necessary expenses in the present time.
