Isang milyong pisong multa ang ipinataw ng Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (Pagcor) sa isang online gambling company na konektado sa celebrity na si Ivana Alawi dahil sa isinagawang cellphone giveaway, at inatasan din itong itigil ang naturang promosyon.


Ayon kay Pagcor Chairperson Alejandro Tengco nitong Lunes, hindi humingi ng pahintulot sa ahensya ang naturang kumpanya bago isagawa ang promosyon.


Inihayag ni Tengco ang hakbang sa pagdinig ng House Committee on Appropriations kaugnay ng panukalang 2027 budget ng Pagcor matapos magpahayag ng pagkabahala si Kamanggagawa Partylist Rep. Elijah Fernando sa dumaraming content creators at influencers na nag-eendorso ng online gambling.


Binanggit ni Fernando ang isinagawang giveaway ni Alawi ng 100 high-end cellphone. Para maging kwalipikado sa giveaway, kinakailangang i-like ng mga interesadong sumali ang Facebook page ng gambling platform.


Sa isang video na inilabas ni Alawi sa kanyang Facebook page noong Hulyo 15, sinabi niyang umabot sa mahigit P4 milyon ang ginastos sa pagbili ng 100 high-end cellphone.

Pinasalamatan din niya ang online gambling company na kanyang iniendorso, na aniya ay tumulong sa pagbili ng mga cellphone.


Nagbabala rin si Tengco na mas mabigat na parusa ang ipapataw sa kumpanya, kabilang ang posibleng suspensyon o pagkansela ng lisensya, kung mauulit ang naturang paglabag.


Ipinaliwanag niya na may kapangyarihan ang Pagcor na parusahan ang gambling company dahil legal itong nagpapatakbo at lisensyado ng ahensya.

Gayunman, sinabi ni Tengco na nasa 50% ng mga online gambling operator sa bansa ay ilegal.


Tinanong din ni Fernando si Tengco tungkol sa mga mekanismo ng Pagcor para mapanagot ang mga influencer at content creator na nag-eendorso ng mga online gambling platform.


Ayon kay Tengco, nakikipag-ugnayan ang Pagcor sa Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), at Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) upang magsampa ng mga kaso laban sa mga nag-eendorso ng ilegal na online gambling sites.


Sinabi rin niya na marami nang influencer at content creator ang umatras sa kanilang mga endorsement at lumipat sa mga legal na operator.

PAGCOR Photography Contest 2026


About the contest


The PAGCOR PhotoCon 2026


The PAGCOR Photography Contest is a nationwide photography competition for professional and amateur photographers.


The theme of PAGCOR Photography Contest 2026 is Kids at Play(Kids@Play).

This year’s theme celebrates the essence of grassroots and community play; those moments when children chase one another in dusty fields, jump rope in village streets, or invent games from simple things.


Simple as they may seem, these games shape values such as discipline, persistence, sportsmanship, and resilience; the same virtues that turn children into champions long before they enter any arena.


Through active play, dreams begin and their future is shaped.

Photocon 2026 has three (3) categories:(1) Conventional which is for photos taken using all types of traditional or conventional cameras like Single Lens Reflex or Digital SLR, compact cameras and the like;(2) Mobile for photos taken using mobile devices like smartphones, tablets; and(3) Drone for images taken using drone-mounted cameras.


Out of all the entries submitted and qualified, finalists will be chosen by an esteemed panel of judges - 16 for conventional, 16 for mobile and 16 for drone.


These will be narrowed down further to the grand winners - 8 for the conventional category who will each receive Php100,000 cash, and 8 for the mobile category who will take home Php50,000 cash each and 8 for the drone category who will be awarded Php50,000 cash each. The 24 non-winning finalists will get consolation prizes – P35,000 each for the conventional while P20,000 each for the mobile and drone categories. A special cash prize of P10,000 will also be given the “People’s Choice Award” photos for each category.


Contest duration is from February 1 to June 30, 2026.
