菲律宾是否会在与中国存在“政治风险”的情况下禁止离岸博彩运营商?
一个研究菲律宾离岸博彩运营商(POGOs)社会经济影响的政府小组建议彻底禁止该行业,理由是涉及中国赌徒玩家的“政治风险”。
该委员会主席、参议员Sherwin Gatchalian表示,由于大多数投注者都是中国公民,菲律宾人在网络游戏行业的损失将大于收益。
Gatchalian周三在向参议院提交委员会的调查结果后表示:“本质上,中国公民正在利用菲律宾的离岸博彩业务作为规避中国刑法的漏洞。”
这个曾经繁荣的行业吸引了中国的客户,因为中国禁止博彩。该公司还被指责为POGOs相关犯罪浪潮的罪魁祸首,促使马尼拉在北京一再发出警告后发起了一系列执法行动。
根据警方数据,Gatchalian表示,2017年至2023年间,共报告了约102起与POGOs有关的犯罪,包括绑架和人口贩运。
他补充说,受害者包括214名中国公民和28名菲律宾人。
这位参议员还指出,网络游戏运营商“极易”洗钱,并通过少报收入来逃税。
他表示,让POGOs继续经营下去将削弱投资者信心,损害菲律宾经济。
《菲律宾问询报》援引他的话说:“他们在我国的持续经营带来了声誉风险,可能会阻止外国公司在菲律宾投资,并阻止外国游客访问我国海岸。”
根据房地产咨询公司Leechiu的数据,POGOs雇佣了约20.1万名中国人和11.1万名菲律宾人,每年为经济带来1,900亿比索(32亿美元)的收入。
Gatchalian称该行业的经济贡献“被高估了”,即使政府不得不放弃税收,宣布其为非法也不会影响增长。
他说:“POGOs的成本大于收益,考虑到投资者和游客信心提高的潜在好处,禁止POGOs可能会对我们的经济产生净积极影响。”
他敦促政府为菲律宾POGOs工人制定替代就业计划,并撤销向外国雇员发放的签证。
菲律宾于10月开始驱逐数百名中国工人,作为其镇压POGOs的一部分。
去年,一个代表POGOs相关犯罪受害者的中菲协会支持禁止POGOs交易的计划。
该组织领导人Ka Kuen Chua表示:“如果我们必须权衡POGOs给我们国家带来的社会弊病与他们带来的收入,我们应该选择国家安全。”
