00:00 As long as we're talking about the law, our heart is always ready to answer.
00:04 Attorney Gabby Concepcion.
00:05 Attorney, good morning.
00:06 Hello?
00:09 Yes, I'm talking to you.
00:11 I saw him last night.
00:12 Why don't you believe me?
00:14 We're in a lawsuit.
00:15 It's him.
00:15 Oh, wait.
00:19 It's not like we're in a lawsuit.
00:23 I heard that two people were involved in a billiards game in Caloocan.
00:28 I don't think it was with Mang Efren Bata.
00:31 Yes.
00:31 So in the end, they were shot.
00:34 Oh my.
00:35 To those who love to judge, what does the law say about the lawsuit?
00:40 Ask me, ask Attorney Gabby.
00:43 Attorney.
00:52 Oh, hello.
00:53 You're back.
00:55 I'm sure many of you are used to gambling because even online, there are gambling places.
01:02 But usually, what does the law say about gambling?
01:06 Well, actually, strictly speaking, gambling and betting are prohibited.
01:12 So what is gambling?
01:14 Any game that is dependent on chance, that has a betting,
01:19 and has anything of value that can be exchanged.
01:23 That's what is prohibited.
01:25 Unless it is authorized or licensed.
01:27 And the PAG-COR is the agency of the government that gives the license or franchise for this.
01:33 Bills in billiards, sabong, loto, ending, munti, mashautong, it's, whatever it is, you name it.
01:40 All of those are prohibited if it is for the public and not licensed by PAG-COR.
01:45 And the penalty under Republic Act 9287 is also quite heavy.
01:50 30 to 90 days if you are a tenant, and up to 20 years depending on your participation in illegal gambling,
01:57 especially if you are a government employee.
02:00 But people are really addicted to gambling and betting.
02:03 Actually, I heard that the PAG-COR is the third biggest revenue provider of the government.
02:08 Maybe it's after the BIR and customs.
02:11 And of course, you will lose more if the gamblers go home ill or die from those.
02:19 Oh, that's right, Attorney.
02:21 You should be careful with gambling.
02:23 But what if my gambling, Attorney, didn't pay off and didn't pay even if he lost?
02:30 What should I do?
02:31 Good luck.
02:33 So, stop that.
02:35 Just travel again.
02:36 So that the money won't be wasted.
02:37 Actually, under Article 2014 of our Civil Code,
02:41 it states that the winner of a gamble, if he was not paid for gambling,
02:46 actually, I don't want to say this, but this law has no remedy under the law.
02:52 It means that you cannot file an action in court to cover it.
02:56 If this is a case of illegal gambling, of course.
02:59 In fact, the one who lost can cover it from the winner and with legal interest.
03:06 But at the end of the day, especially if this is a big illegal gambling operation and you will not pay,
03:13 it's a bit scary that you won't pay for it and maybe not only your money will be lost.
03:19 As usual, we have people who get angry if they don't pay and you won't like them when they're angry.
03:26 And as for other debts, oh, you should pay your debts.
03:30 There's a line there, as long as you're talking about debts.
03:33 But just avoid gambling.
03:36 Maybe there are a lot of people who get lost here.
03:38 Sometimes, the house, the land, the car gets lost, just like any other addiction.
03:44 It's scary.
03:46 But in any case, we will clarify the laws we're discussing for the peace of mind.
03:53 Don't think twice.
03:55 Ask me, ask Attorney Gav.
