Gatchalian: Gambling sites hiding in apps must be shut down immediately

PHILIPPINES, August 18 - Press Release
August 18, 2025

"I am deeply concerned by reports that online gambling has infiltrated some of the most widely used digital platforms, including messaging apps and e-commerce sites such as Viber, Telegram, and Lazada. This is a malicious and predatory practice that we should not tolerate. I call on PAGCOR, DTI, and DICT to immediately order the delinking of online gambling sites from messaging and e-commerce platforms operating in the country.

Kung saan-saan sila nagsusulputan. Dapat mas mabilis ang aksyon ng gobyerno! Hindi puwedeng basta na lang gawing sugalan ang ating mga cellphone at online apps."
