Clarification of News Report

We reply to your request for clarification on a news article entitled “$500-M casino resort in Boracay to push through, says PAGCOR” posted in GMA News Online on 16 March 2018. The article reported in part that:

“The plan of a Macau-based casino operator and its local partner to build a $500-million integrated casino-resort in Boracay will proceed despite an impending total closure of the island for up to one year, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (PAGCOR) said on Friday.

‘Yes, we are signing the contract for their provisional license before the end of the month,’ PAGCOR chairperson Andrea Domingo told GMA News

Macau casino operator Galaxy Entertainment Group Ltd. plans to invest as much as $500 million to build an integrated casino-resort in the Philippines, the company and PAGCOR said last December.

. . . .

Domingo was asked on Friday if Galaxy Entertainment and Leisure and Resorts World are still pursuing the plan despite the recommendation to close Boracay for up to one year to give way to its rehabilitation.

Domingo said the companies were not concerned about the impending closure of Boracay.

‘No, they have to build. Opening is at least after three years,’ Domingo said.

. . . .”

We would like to clarify the above-quoted news article:

A subsidiary of LRWC acquired approximately 23 hectares of land in Barangay Manoc-Manoc, Boracay Island, Malay, Aklan. Consistent with the pronouncement of PAGCOR Chairperson Andrea Domingo, it is expected that PAGCOR will issue a provisional license to Galaxy Entertainment Group (GEG) before the end of this month. Upon the issuance of the said license through the partnership between LRWC and GEG an Integrated Resort will be constructed in the said property.
