FBM Foundation debut initiative distributes 500 food kits in the Philippines
The kick-off initiative of the FBM Foundation took place in the Philippines, during the last 4th and 8th of December, by joining PAGCOR´s “Pagkain para sa Masa” project in a new donation of essential food kits through two specific communities. Remember that FBM already joined PAGCOR in the distribution of more than 2000 relief packs in Metro Manila in May of 2021.
In this new round, the FBM volunteers delivered 250 food buckets to the Marikina beneficiaries on December 4th at SSS Elementary School, Lilac St. Brgy. Concepcion Dos, Marikina City. The other 250 food buckets had Tagaytay beneficiaries as the destination on December 8th, with a special action in the Pag-asa Social Center Focolare Compound, Calamba Road, Iruhin South.
The Covid-19 pandemic affected the Philippines deeply, and this project coordinated by PAGCOR allows delivering precious resources to ensure normality in the routine of needy citizens. Each food bucket contains rice, canned goods, eggs, fresh vegetables and ham.
FBM is a global gaming brand that has conquered the landbased casino market since 2001. Established in different Asian, North American and European nations, the brand conquered the leadership of the video bingo market and is now committed to reinventing the spin reels segment with innovative and attractive products.

Indonesian Govt to Form Task Force to Tackle Online Gambling
Indonesian President Joko Widodo has chaired a limited meeting which discussed the efforts taken to eradicate online gambling in the country on Thursday 18 April, at Merdeka Palace in Jakarta. Minister for Communication and Information Technology Budi Arie Setiadi, in his press statement after the limited meeting, said that the Government will form a task force to counter online gambling.
“It has been decided that within a week, we will formulate measures to form an integrated task force in order to eradicate online gambling,” Budi said.
Minister for Communication and Information Technology mentioned that forming a cross-ministries/institutions task force is aimed to handle online gambling more thoroughly, collaboratively and efficiently.
“Gambling is an illegal act based on regulations. So, we need to impose measures effectively to settle it,” Budi stated, adding that his ministry will focus on handling online gambling websites and contents, while the law enforcement officers will enforce the law.
“Our authority is only to take down the websites, while the Financial Services Authority (OJK) blocks their financial accounts, and then followed by law enforcement officers, police officers, and the public prosecution service officers,” he remarked.
Similarly, OJK’s Chairperson of Commissioner Board Mahendra Siregar also highlighted the importance of holistic measures in eradicating online gambling in Indonesia.
“Some online gambling activities are not conducted in Indonesia, some are cross-borders, some do not use bank accounts, some needs to be tracked and traced through bank accounts, including transfers and so on. So, the next layers must also be addressed, and that way it leaves no empty rooms,” Mahendra explained.
Mahendra said that according to the institution’s authority, from the end of 2023 to March 2024, OJK has blocked around 5000 bank accounts that indicate its relation to online gambling.
“So far, we have cooperated closely with Communications and Information Technology Ministry. So, if we receive a list of bank accounts suspected to be used or are being used in online gambling activities, we immediately block them, and it has reached up to 5000 bank accounts,” Mahendra mentioned.
