English: News reports cited former Department of Finance (DOF) Secretary Carlos Dominguez III projecting in October 2021 that total revenue collections from POGOs for the year 2022 to 2023 could reach P76.2 billion. However, recent data showed that revenues from POGO operations in the country aren't likely to even hover near this amount as revenue collection in the first quarter reached only P1.55 billion. Also, tax collections from the industry reached only P3.91 billion in 2021 compared to P7.176 billion in 2020 and P6.424 billion in 2019.
Filipino: Sinabi noon ni Department of Finance (DOF) Secretary Carlos Dominguez III na aabot sa P76.2 bilyon ang kabuuang revenue collection mula sa mga operasyon ng POGO para sa taong 2022 hanggang 2023. Gayunpaman, ang mga kasalukuyang datos ay nagsasabing malamang na hindi aabot sa inaasahang pigura dahil ang nakolektang buwis sa first quarter ng taon ay umabot lamang sa P1.55 bilyon. Bukod dito, umabot lamang sa P3.91 bilyon ang koleksyon ng buwis mula sa industriya noong 2021 kumpara sa P7.176 bilyon noong 2020 at P6.424 bilyon noong 2019.
