Filipino billionaire Roberto Ongpin\u2019s last-ditch attempt to save his gaming company Philweb<\/a> from the wrath of the country’s President Rodrigo Duterte\u2019s anti-online gambling crusade may have hit a dead end. But Ongpin is trying every tactic in his arsenal to save the company from total collapse.<\/p>\n Ongpin said on Friday that he would put his entire stake in PhilWeb towards drug rehab clinics in the country if it would get PAGCOR to renew PhilWeb’s gaming license. It’s unclear if these clinics already exist, or would be a new public and private joint effort. As of this writing, there has been no word on whether Ongpin’s latest offer might be accepted by Duterte or PAGCOR.<\/p>\n
