PAGCOR's regulatory role is essential to the vision of the country taking a place among the world's top gaming jurisdictions. In principle, PAGCOR aims to:

Ensure a level playing field among industry proponents;
Maintain an orderly and predictable regulatory environment;
Enforce license terms and conditions;
Promote fairness and integrity in the conduct of games;
Provide an underlying platform for responsible gambling;
Disallow access to gaming venues by minors and financially vulnerable persons; and,
Prevent licensed gaming venues from being used for illegal activities.

In order to meet the abovementioned objectives, regulations and standards were developed to fit the Philippine setting.

🔍 GAMING EMPLOYMENT LICENSE

The Gaming Employment License (GEL) is an authorization issued by PAGCOR granting a person the privilege to be employed as a gaming employee within the Philippine jurisdiction. It is a pre-employment and continuing requirement for employment in any gaming establishment in the country and should form part of the employee's handbook. No employer shall hire and keep an individual employed without a valid GEL.

WASHINGTON - US President Donald Trump said Sunday he had directed officials to rebuild and reopen Alcatraz prison, the notorious federal jail based on a small island in California that shuttered six decades ago.

The jail will house "America's most ruthless and violent Offenders," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, adding that the institution will be "substantially enlarged."

Alcatraz closed in 1963 due to high operating costs after being open for just 29 years, according to the US Bureau of Prisons, and now serves as a tourist attraction.

Located two kilometers (1.25 miles) off the coast of San Francisco and with a capacity of just 336 prisoners, it held several well-known criminals, including Prohibition-era mob boss Al Capone, and saw many fantastical escape attempts by inmates.

Trump has made cracking down on crimes -- particularly those committed by migrants -- a key element of his second term in the White House.

"When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals, and keep them far away from anyone they could harm. That's the way it's supposed to be," Trump wrote Sunday.

"No longer will we tolerate these Serial Offenders who spread filth, bloodshed, and mayhem on our streets," he said.
