Cebu City bans gambling advertising and plans public education campaign
Cebu City approved a resolution on 16 December banning gambling advertising across the city and plans education and community-awareness work on gambling risks. The measure covers outdoor, printed and online advertising and assigns monitoring and removal duties to city offices and police; Mayor Nestor Archival said enforcement against online platforms would be difficult.
Operators and advertisers face a city-wide restriction, while local agencies are responsible for identifying and removing prohibited promotions.
