Manila (AFP) – More than 1,300 Chinese citi-zens have been arrested in the Philippines for working illegally at an unlicensed online gaming business, the immigration bureau said Tuesday.
China has expressed concern over the raid at a casino-hotel complex in the northern Philippines and said Manila must guarantee “humanitarian treatment” of those being held.
Some 1,318 people were detained during the raid on November 24 in Angeles city, immigration bureau spokeswoman Maria Antoinette Mangrobang told AFP.
