                    [Summary] => It is high time that Malacañang look into the controversy surrounding the closure of the Legenda Casino and Hotel in Subic. Businessmen, investors, and some 1,500 workers whose jobs are tied to the casino, have appealed to Rep. Mitos Magsaysay to bring the matter to the attention of President Arroyo.


The controversy stemmed from the closure by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (Pagcor) of the Legenda Casino almost two weeks ago. Pagcor claims that the casino owes the government more than P365 million in gaming license fees.

SUBIC BAY FREEPORT — Tension disrupted the otherwise quiet atmosphere at the Subic Freeport last Friday when the state-owned Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (Pagcor) padlocked the casino of Legend International Resorts Ltd. Co. for non-payment of arrears amounting to P365 million.


Pagcor officials also served a writ of attachments issued by the Manila regional trial court, freezing Legend’s accounts of some P198 million with the Olongapo City branches of Metrobank and United Coconut Planters Bank.
