Villanueva urges CSC to help curb online gambling among gov’t employees
Senator Joel Villanueva is urging the Civil Service Commission (CSC) to update its policies to prohibit government workers from engaging in online gambling.
He stated that online gambling platforms are now easily accessible, even during working hours, posing a significant threat to government employees.
Villanueva wants the CSC to expand existing regulations, which prohibit physical gambling, to cover online gambling as well.
A 2016 memorandum circular from Malacañang considers being seen in a casino as conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the service, unless for official functions.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. announced on Thursday that the government will convene stakeholders to create a policy addressing online gambling.
