Many asian country does but it just so happen that our country, Philippines, became the top in the asia region. We have surpassed even the Las Vegas of Asia which is Macau. That's why to eradicate these operations is going to help our socio-economic status because many of our fellow countrymen are losing their minds through gambling and doing stuff that they are not used to until they become addicted to gambling.
One thing we need to understand is the difference in economic growth between that particular location and the rest of the country. There will be a big difference, and the gambling location will be having the better infrastructure as well as growth. On going deep, we can understand that specific people have grown, and the rest are getting into poverty and getting low day by day. That's a huge economic zone, and the government has waited long to handle the situation in a better way. Now there is no more choice available, and that's where they've decided for the closing of the gambling hub.
There are other factors that we can think of, if you know more about the politics that are happening in our country, you can take a lot of hypothetical guesses why they do this. But for the sake of betterment, let's just take the positive factors and probable reasons why they have to do that. I'm talking in a sense in good energy and happy about these taking downs because there is much a deep reason why these hubs have appeared in the first place and not to operate as an actual gambling hubs.
