MANILA, Philippines — Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian has asked the Blue Ribbon panel to investigate the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp.’s “seemingly anomalous” engagement of a third-party auditor for offshore gaming companies.

 

Gatchalian on Monday filed Senate Resolution 452 calling for a Blue Ribbon probe into the procurement of Global ComRCI Consortium, which was found during a previous Senate hearing to be lacking permits and of having presented dubious documents.

 

Among the red flags seen by senators during the hearing that Gatchalian presided was the certification that Global ComRCI presented was issued by a bank not registered with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.
