The proposed bill is due to the recent illegal POGO raids where human trafficking, murder, and money laundering were uncovered. Due to this, one of the Philippine senators believes that the best move is to ban POGOs and online gambling all in all and punish any person who is involved in online gambling activity if the bill is approved.
This is going to be a very long debate among senators who favors online gambling because of the very huge taxes that its being brought to the country's coffer and those who favor total ban.
I don't think the President of the Philippines will agree for a total ban because the country is under the restructuring of the economy under his regime and that's less 4 billion pesos cut in in the budget under his regime and he still has 4 years in the office and he has no other resources to fill on the loss revenue brought by losing revenue from gambling taxes.
The President will eventually veto this idea and instead will encourage senators to come up a bill on how to stop the abuses of these POGO companies and closely monitor their activities, The Philippines is a third world country and the gambling industry contribute a big part in its economy.
