Philippines and China ´not talking´ about online gambling

(Manila).- Amid all the buzz and even red flags over Chinese online gambling companies doing business in the Philippines, it seems that the two countries are not really discussing the matter.
China bans all forms of gambling, but its citizens are still able to play games online because operations have gone offshore to countries like the Philippines where it is legal.
Foreign relations experts have said that China would like to put an end to gambling, but cannot impose on the Philippines – which enjoys the cash brought in by the booming industry.
The Philippine government has an inter-agency task force composed of the Department of Finance, Department of Labor and Employment, Bureau of Immigration, Bureau of Internal Revenue, and the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (Pagcor).
However, Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III reiterated that the agencies joined forces not to zero in on the industry, but to make sure all foreigners, whether Chinese or not, are paying the correct taxes. It just so happens that Chinese workers have been in the spotlight due to the glaring spike in their numbers.
