This was Sen. Joel Villanueva’s reaction on gambling as he backed the proposal to implement an anti-casino policy in the famous tourist destination, Boracay Island.

Earlier, the Department of Justice recommended an executive order (EO) to ban gambling activities and casinos in Boracay.

Earlier, Tourism Secretary Bernadette Puyat said President Rodrigo Duterte had already asked to close down all casinos in Boracay.
