The newly elected President Rodrigo Duterte wants to stop the online gambling here in the Philippines. Its because they cannot collect tax from it and they don't want people to become addicted to it. What is your side ?

I guess you have taken this, out of the context. I read from the news that, Government officials, especially his cabinet members are prohibited from playing online games, playing golf, and any other leisure especially on the working schedule of the government officials. I would have been better if you provided the link of this news you are trying to imply in this forum.

Note: Duterte did not say he will ban online gambling in phlippines.

The president is very spontaneous, it just come out from his mouth during a short interview and saw it myself too.
It wasn't emphasized much by the media as they are more focus to war on drugs and there are only few Filipinos who are that fond with online gambling. Solaire might just be preparing for the worse.

I saw it too, Duterte said that he want to stop the online gambling that are operating here in the Philippines. I don't think he want to tax the gambling by saying that he would stop it. He just want to completely stop the gambling for the benifit of the family of the gamblers who are addicted to it.
