LCP Supports the Ban on Online Garming for all DILG Personnel and LGU Officials


By San Juan City Mayor and LCP National President Francis Zamora
August 13, 2025 - Quezon City


 
 
The League of Cities of the Philippines strongly supports the ban on online gambling for all personnel of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the elected and appointed provincial, city, municipal, and barangay officials and employees. This ban is crucial in exacting the highest form of integrity and credibility expected from our officials.
 
The DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2025-082 is instructive, and we, the 149 members of the League of Cities of the Philippines, endeavor to disseminate it to our members and conduct dialogues to ensure its implementation. We, as public servants, are expected to set good examples to our constituents and should strive to make our communities safe and orderly. Accessing online gambling platforms or engaging in any form of online gambling diverts our attention from effective and genuine public service.  We encourage our constituents to report any local officials or employees found to violate this directive. The League of Cities will not tolerate acts that could undermine the sanctity of public service, and supports the stringent sanctions articulated in the circular.  
 
Let us unite in our efforts for the betterment of our nation, upholding the principles of good governance, integrity, and transparency. Our constituents deserve nothing less.
