其实这篇文章我两天前在搜集完信息后就可以开始写了。
在近几日,朋友圈也好,还是菠菜圈也好都在疯狂的传播一条新闻,我们看下这篇新闻的真身:
- The Philippines-based online gaming industry held its breath on Thursday after the country’s new president said “online gambling must stop.”
- Newly elected President Rodrigo Duterte (pictured) made the surprise announcement at his first cabinet meeting following the official swearing-in ceremony earlier on Thursday. The meeting was televised and is viewable here (the gambling talk begins around 14:20).
- Duterte said that he didn’t want “a proliferation of gambling activities all over the country” and complained that too many Filipinos were choosing to gamble instead of working for a living. He went on to say something about the difficulty of collecting taxes from online gambling operators, despite vast evidence to the contrary.
- Duterte then dropped his real bombshell, saying that he would ask the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) to rescind the online gambling licenses it has issued “sometime soon.”
- Duterte’s plans appear to have taken PAGCOR by surprise, as a spokesperson told GMA News that the corporation couldn’t comment because they had “just learned about it now.”
- Duterte’s lack of specifics have left stakeholders wondering what he meant by ‘online.’ The only online gambling licenses PAGCOR has issued are for the terminal-type eGames run by the likes of PhilWeb and Leisure & Resorts World Corp.
- Philippine locals are not allowed to access the many Asian-facing online gambling sites licensed by the First Cagayan Leisure and Resort Corp under the Cagayan Economic Zone Authority (CEZA). These companies include many industry giants, both homegrown Asian firms and the local divisions of western betting operators.
- Since much of Duterte’s commentary focused on lessening the potential harms of online gambling on Philippine citizens, his vow to stop online gambling would seemingly let the CEZA licensees off the hook.
- A Duterte spokesperson appeared to confirm this suspicion early on Friday. Ernesto Abella told CalvinAyre.com’s Leonard Postrado that Duterte had no clear policy on gaming. Pressed for clarification as to whether the president’s comments referred to CEZA-linked companies, Abella said Duterte was referencing local internet gaming shops.
- But CEZA companies shouldn’t exhale just yet. On Friday, newly appointed PAGCOR chairperson Andrea Domingo appeared on a local radio show, during which she told host Ted Fallon that, while PAGCOR was still pushing for clarity on Duterte’s comments, she suggested he was referring to CEZA.
- CEZA-linked companies have established deep roots in the Philippines, particularly in its thriving business process outsourcing sector. It seems crazy to think that Duterte would seek to derail an industry that has contributed so much to his country’s economy over the last decade. But crazier things have happened. Watch this space…

随后台湾媒体、中国媒体、甚至是其他的华文媒体都在跟风报道。而且报道严重失真,可谓仅是隔岸观火,如这篇台湾的鸡毛文(台湾的媒体是最搞笑的,没有之一):
杜特地禁线上赌博 势影响外籍从业者
那么,这件事是真的吗?杜特蒂真的要打击菠菜?
我可以负责任的告诉大家,杜特蒂的确说要打击菠菜。但他要打击的是本国线上菠菜及菠菜游戏厅,而不是面向海外玩家的Cagayan牌照的菠菜!!且目前菲律宾的经济结构换成哪个总统都不能轻举妄动,原因请看我之前写的这篇文章:
原创观点:杜特蒂上台后的菲律宾菠菜动向
以下文章内容开始使用我搜集的信息为大家证明,其打击的的确为本国菠菜!也希望本文能给大家吃一颗定心丸,除此之外,不要再以讹传讹。谣言止于智者!!
在最早的关于杜特蒂打击菠菜的文章中提到杜特蒂的发言:
杜特地在首次内阁会议期间告诉内阁官员:“网上赌博是必须制止的。”他将建议国营的菲律宾娱乐赌博公司取消网上赌博经营者的牌照。
杜特地说:“到处发芽,我不想整个菲律宾的人都只知道赌。”“特别是PhilWeb Casino Corp。”
里面提到了网上赌博,提到了菲律宾人每天只知道赌。还列举了“philweb”这家公司作为案例。
我们看“网上赌博是必须制止的。”“到处发芽,我不想整个菲律宾的人都只知道赌。”就大概可以知道这两句话是说给菲律宾人听的了,如果你的理解能力不差的话。
当然这些证据还不够,我们继续深八一下杜特蒂口中的philweb casino Corp这家公司。
philweb casino cor全名叫做philweb corporation,是一家菲律宾菠菜游戏公司,菲律宾上市代码为PSE:WEB,面向的主要用户是菲律宾,公司雇员也清一色为菲律宾人,以下是公司介绍:
PhilWeb Corporation is the leading gaming technology provider in the Asia Pacific Region. We are listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE:WEB).
以下是公司官网:
http://www.philweb.com.ph/
以下是公司地址:
以下是公司照片:
此外,我寻找到了这一条新闻:
PhilWeb asks for trading halt after Duterte's spiel on online gambling
大意是:杜特蒂宣布要禁止菠菜后,PHILWEB CASINO COR的股价受影响开始下跌
因此,我们已经基本可以将这条消息和以PHILWEB为首的这些菲律宾本地化菠菜公司挂钩了。
此外,我还找到了PHILWEB的旗下菠菜网站:
http://www.egamescasino.ph/
//怎么样,这个网站你在菲律宾就能打开吧。做菠菜的都知道,受CAGAYAN监管的网站都是不允许在菲境内打开的。
从这张宣传图我们不难看出这家公司是经营什么的:
天啊,点开GAMES之后:
眼熟吧,这不就是你们每天上班都在经营的SOLTS吗??
点开联系我们:
属于哪家公司赫然在列。
//说个题外话,我其实是通过PHILWEB COR的员工工牌带侧边的字母找到他这个菠菜游戏官网的。
在这,我需要列举更多关于PHILWEB是一家面向菲律宾人的菠菜公司的相片:
聪明的你,看的出来上面就是其实就一些winner上门领奖么?
为了了解这些信息,我前后花了三天时间去了解深挖关于PHILWEB这家公司的信息及了解这个信息背后的真相。所以还是希望最后补充一下,目前杜特蒂禁止PAGCOR发出牌照也是禁止向菲律宾本地公司发老虎机等的经营牌照,而不是针对CAGAYAN。谢谢!
我上面所举证的一切能解决你的疑惑了吗?杜特蒂打击的不是我们,而是“他们”。
希望以后大家先搞清楚状况再传播这些信息,以免造成担忧,谢谢!
