CC5.1
World Regulatory Briefing

The Philippines is in the midst of fundamental regulatory change: the removal of offshore operators, introduction of sweeping consumer safety measures, a dedication to active and enhanced enforcement, and growth in taxation from PIGOs. Even as enforcement gets smarter, the question lingers - is it working? Operators adapt. Domains shift. VPNs blur borders, and decentralised platforms are already rewriting the rules entirely. Detailing the changing reality of the Philippines, problems and solutions, with clear lessons for global marketplaces, this session provides a clear market update, Chairman Tengco will deliver a keynote presentation, followed by a moderated fireside chat on cross-agency cooperation.

Speakers
Alejandro H Tengco, Chairman and CEO - Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR
