You're completely right to be worried about this. While some people might see gambling as a personal choice when done in moderation, the easy access through apps like GCash is turning it into a widespread problem. It’s not just about having the freedom to playanymore it’s about how these unregulated platforms are reaching out to vulnerable communities.The ban on POGOs was a step in the right direction, but it clearly didn’t tackle the core issue: the ease of access and the lack of strong digital controls. The move from offshore to domestic online gambling is even more concerning because now local users sincluding minors and low-income workers are getting caught in this cycle.This isn’t just an economic problem; it’s also a matter of mental health and social stability. The government really needs to step up with clear regulations, awareness campaigns, and stricter app integrations.Let’s hope more people speak out like you have. This is no longer just a niche issue  it’s becoming a national concern.  Cry
