The Supreme Court changed its mind yesterday and allowed jai alai to resume in the country, but only under the watch of the state-run Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (Pagcor).


In a 10-5 decision, the high tribunal modified its Nov. 19 decision which banned the Basque game. It noted that jai alai operations will only be considered legal if they are done by Pagcor.

The Filipinas Gaming Entertainment Totalizator Corp. (Filgame) said the closure of the fronton by Interior Secretary Alfredo Lim last Oct. 10 has caused it to lose P1.5 million a day.


Lim, who acted on President Estrada’s order on Oct. 10 to stop all state-sponsored gambling, and the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) have also been named respondents.
