Philippines Orders E-Wallets to Remove Online Gambling Links

The Philippines' central bank has told payment apps and e-wallets to stop linking to online gambling sites.

This means if you use apps like GCash, you won't be able to easily get to these gambling sites anymore.

The government is worried about people getting into debt or becoming addicted to gambling.

Some companies that run these gambling sites are still making a lot of money.

Lawmakers are now discussing whether to limit or completely ban online gambling.

The central bank wants to help control this growing industry and protect people from potential harm.
