Duterte says to order closure of all online gaming
MANILA - (UPDATE) President Rodrigo Duterte said Thursday he was ordering the closure of online gaming operations in the country, sending gaming stocks on a tailspin.
Shares of PhilWeb Corp. fell 30 percent while Leisure and Resorts World dipped 20 percent after the President’s declaration, which came less than an hour before the market closed.
The President took a tougher stand after he declared in August that online gaming could resume as long as regulations are strictly enforced.
PhilWeb is applying for a new license after regulators refused in August to renew its authorization to supply software systems to gaming cafes. It's former chairman, tycoon Roberto Ongpin, resigned and divested from the company after Duterte branded him as an oligarch who must be destroyed.
