The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) posted a sharp decline in first-half revenues as softer gaming activity, particularly in its electronic gaming business, offset continued growth in government remittances.

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (PAGCOR) has ordered gaming operators nationwide to replace responsible gaming advertisements with promotions for the newly launched 24/7 National Problem Gambling Helpline, signaling a stronger regulatory focus on intervention and player welfare.

The Bureau of the Treasury (BTr) has received a P5.67-billion dividend remittance from the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation, boosting government coffers as the state seeks additional fiscal resources to cushion the economy from global uncertainties.
