To my knowledge, the Philippines legalizes gambling, and the evidence is the numerous casinos in the country. This is, of course, regulated by law, which includes operational permits and other matters. If some elements of society or religious institutions want or request the government to stop gambling activities for various reasons, the only way is to amend the law. In my opinion, doing so would clearly create new problems.
I assume it would be difficult. Closing casinos would leave many people unemployed, and the state would lose one of its sources of income. It would also erode investor confidence due to the lack of legal certainty. So overall, in addressing the concerns of religious institutions, the government certainly needs to find a solution, how to continue gambling without causing setbacks in any aspect of society.
