00:01The Senate Committee on Games and Amusement
00:03is the company of Facebook.
00:06They're not going to talk to this committee
00:09about online gambling.
00:12Saksi, Maad Gonzalez.
00:17No, no, no, committee secretary.
00:20Why are they dictating this committee
00:22when they're going to come to this committee?
00:24No!
00:25Ikinapikon ni Sen. Erwin Tulfo
00:27tulad ng Meta na makikipagpulong na lang sa kanya
00:30sa ibang araw ang mga empleyado nitong makakasagot
00:33sa pagginig ng Senado ukol sa online gambling.
00:36Hindi a nila kasi available ngayon ang mga empleyado.
00:39Inissuehan ang show cost order para magpaliwanag ang Meta
00:42kumpanyang may-ari ng Facebook.
00:44So we're trying to wait here.
00:46Ipasara ba natin kung ako lang tatanay?
00:48Sara na natin itong kalukohan na ito.
00:50Tapos ganyan, sasabihin mo na in your own time,
00:53hindi ka mag-attend at mag-me-meet kita,
00:56na mag-isa? What the?
00:59Ipinatawag ng committee ang mga social media platform
01:02kung saan may patalastas ang mga online gambling site.
01:05As of August 22, 2025,
01:08sinuspend po namin temporarily yung mga gambling ads.
01:11So 24-7 po yun since August 22.
01:14Bawal na po for now.
01:16Kung ganyan sa TikTok,
01:17sa Google naman at sa YouTube na pag-aaray rin ito,
01:20required ang lisensya bago makapaglagay ng ads.
01:23Pero sabi ni Tulfo, may lumusot na online gambling company
01:26na iligal o mano.
01:28My staff just opened a YouTube
01:30and 1x bet on his account.
01:33This is illegal.
01:34It hasn't registered with the
01:35Philippine Amusement Gaming Corporation, madam.
01:38We use a combination of automated and human evaluation
01:41to detect and remove ads which violate our policies.
01:44We will act upon it, sir, if it's further flag.
01:48Kaugnay naman ang mga link o icon ng online gambling sites
01:52sa mga e-wallet,
01:53lahat ay natanggal na,
01:54ayon sa Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas as of August 16.
01:58Dahil diyan,
01:59nawala ng 40-50% ng kita ang pag-work.
02:03Pero giit ni Sen. Risa Ontiveros,
02:05ang gusto nila ay hindi na magamit ang e-wallet
02:08sa pagtaya sa online gambling sites.
02:10Tugo ng Banko Sentral.
02:12Because that is,
02:13the online gambling operators,
02:15as far as their license,
02:16they're considered legitimate entities.
02:18And so, the purpose for which
02:20the top apps are being used
02:22is for a legitimate purpose.
02:23And therefore,
02:24there's no basis to deny that service.
02:34Sa ngayon, credit cards lang
02:35at iba pang paraan ng pang-utang
02:37ang bawal gamitin sa online gambling.
02:39Pwede pa rin ang e-wallet.
02:40Pero po na ni Ontiveros,
02:42bakit pati iligal na online sugal
02:44nakakapagpataya gamit ang e-wallet?
02:46One modality or typology that is being used
02:50is through the use of mule accounts, Mr. Chair.
02:55So, what we do is we pursue these mule accounts
02:59and we direct the Banko Sentral Supervised Institution concerned
03:04to look into the account
03:07and close the account if warranted.
03:12Ikinabahala rin ang mga senador
03:14ang laki ng halagang pwedeng itaya
03:16gamit ang e-wallets.
03:17Pwedeng umabot hanggang six digits,
03:20500,000 pesos.
03:22Hindi ninyo kayang kontrolin.
03:24We can only see the top-up amounts
03:26because gambling does not happen on our platforms.
03:28Susunod naman aniya ang Gcash at Paymaya
03:31kung may batas o utos na maglilimita
03:33sa halaga ng pwedeng iload na pantaya o top-up.
03:36We're in favor of measures that will curtail
03:39that kind of abusive behavior using our platform.
03:42Any abusive or misuse of our payment system
03:48is suspended right away.
