The problem of online gambling in the Philippines is getting worse, spreading to communication tools and e-commerce platforms, and has been criticized for turning people's mobile phones into a "handheld casino". Senator Sherwin Gatchalian calls for government departments to speed up their efforts and use more decisive measures to block the spread of gambling content.
The Philippine Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) has named popular apps such as Telegram and Viber, demanding that platforms clean up gambling-related information as soon as possible and emphasizing that if ignored, they may face a total ban as a severe measure.
Meanwhile, Senators Raffy Tulfo and Erwin Tulfo also stated that gambling activities should return to casinos, racetracks, and traditional entertainment venues, and should not continue to proliferate chaotically in the online world.

The Philippine government is just twiddling its thumbs.
TG is too lazy to care about you.
If you can't make money, you start complaining. Do you want a share of the profits from casinos and racetracks?
VIBER is going to be blocked.
