It’s high time for the Pagcor to drop its dual role and focus only on regulating the country’s gaming industry, Senator Grace Poe said.

“Pagcor can train its sights to guarantee a level playing field among industry players, prevent illegal activities and ensure the people’s welfare is protected from potential social harm,” she said.

Before this, Pagcor’s new leadership disclosed it is “seriously considering” solely directing its attention on its regulatory role and possibly privatizing its self-operated casinos nationwide.Over the past months, Pagcor had been embroiled in many controversies as several senators, including Poe, repeatedly criticized the state-run gaming firm for its seeming negligence in cracking down illicit gaming operations under its watch.

She appears to be targeting,'scouting' for those govt depts, agencies, commissions with regulatory functions & at the same time w/ highly profitable undertakings to be privatized. Ergo, she's not working for the govt as per her mandate. She's there for the privatization lobby.

Drop the dual role & privatize... Hahaha! She can't seem to stop singing that privatization lobby tune... 🤣🤣🤣
