PAGCOR expects governance commission to endorse regulator-operator split

PAGCOR chairman and chief executive Alejandro Tengco said the Governance Commission for Government-Owned and Controlled Corporations is expected to endorse PAGCOR’s proposal to separate its regulatory role from its Casino Filipino operations. The proposal would then go to the Office of the President for consideration; an executive order would be needed to proceed. Tengco also said PAGCOR plans to launch an app in the fourth quarter to direct users to regulated sites.
