Philippine Senate begins hearings on calls for online gambling ban or stricter regulation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Philippine Senate has begun assessing whether to ban online gambling entirely or introduce tighter controls<\/a>. Recently, joint committee hearing saw discussion of three pending bills that propose a ban alongside two measures aimed at strengthening regulation. The latter propose measures such as restricting e-wallet use, enhancing monitoring systems and boosting coordination among regulators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senate majority leader Joel Villanueva described the issue as \u201ca growing concern that we must address decisively.\u201d Senator Pia Cayetano, who filed a bill for a ban, stated: \u201cAs chairman of the committee on ways and means, it is my hope that there will not be a need for me to call a hearing on taxation on online gambling operations because we will be banning outright.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
