Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto hailed the passing of the city's newest ordinance banning online gambling and Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators-related operations and services on Tuesday, Dec. 27.
Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto on Tuesday, Dec. 27, hailed the passing of the city’s newest ordinance banning the operations of online gambling and Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators or POGO-related operations and services in the city, saying these are “ills of society.”
He added that he wanted to put a stop on the operations of e-gambling since 2020 but failed to get the full support of the city council. There were also some individuals who reportedly tried to bribe their way into stopping the city government from passing the said ordinance for them to continue their operations.
The mayor noted that the passing of the ordinance aims to not just put an end to the social ills brought about by e-gambling but also end this symbol of corruption in Pasig City. On Dec. 15, the City Council passed the ordinance authored and sponsored by Councilor Simon Romulo Tantoco, who is also the chairman of the Committee on Games and Amusement.
