1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of POGOs to the Philippines? To the economy?

To
the Filipinos?

Advantages to:

 Philippines and Economy

 Filipinos
Betting and pay-outs can only be made abroad using electronic transactions through
financial institutions. This feature was purposely adopted by Philippine Amusement and
Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) to ensure that gamblers and gambling are not within our
soil, thereby protecting Filipinos and our society from the effects of problem gambling and
potential money laundering.
Disadvantages to:

 Philippines and Economy

 The heavy demand for condominiums by the migrant workers from China had caused
undue inflation of property prices. In many instances, condo units have become
inaccessible to local buyers because Chinese buyers have jacked up the prevailing price.

 Filipinos

 For one, the influx of Chinese workers was seen as creating an imbalance in the domestic
labour sector. Wherein job slots that Filipinos can fill ended up going to Chinese
workers, many said to be staying in the country undocumented. As a result of this,
Filipino workers will ended up losing their jobs.
