While PAGCOR didn’t break down its 1H20 financials by quarter, it had previously reported net income of Php777.4 million (US$15.8 million) for the first three months of 2020, suggesting a loss of Php2.38 billion (US$48.4 million) during the second quarter. PAGCOR reported income from gaming operations of Php18.44 billion in the first six months of this year, down 49.6% from Php36.57 billion (US$714.5 million) in the same period in 2019. Php17.22 billion (US$350.4 million) of that income was generated in 1Q20, meaning income from gaming operations totaled just Php1.22 billion (US$24.8 million) in 2Q20. The regulator said its income from licensed casinos totaled Php6.80 billion (US$138.4 million) – none of which was generated in the second quarter – while income from POGO operations was Php2.92 billion (US$59.4 million), of which Php1.11 billion (US$22.6 million) was second-quarter income. Gaming operations across the Philippines were shut down on 15 March after President Rodrigo Duterte implemented community quarantine across the main island of Luzon. 受到 呂宋島所有博彩活動暫停運作以及馬尼拉 大都會區關閉措施的衝擊，菲律賓博彩監管機構 PAGCOR轉盈為虧，在截至2020年6月30日為止 的六個月內錄得16億披索(3250萬美元)的虧損。 雖然在公告中並未有把2020年上半年的財 政資料以季度形式作細分，但PAGCOR曾在此前 披露於2020年首三個月錄得淨收入7.774億披 索(1580萬美元)，這表示在第二季的虧蝕達23.8 億披索(4840萬美元)。 PAGCOR在本年首六個月錄得博彩營運收 入184.4億披索，比起2019年同期的 365.7億披 索(7.145億美元)下降49.6%。收入當中的172.2 億披索(3.504億美元)來自第一季度，這表示第 二季度的博彩營運收入只有12.2億披索(2480萬 美元)。 該監管機構表示，來自持牌賭場的收入達 68億披索(1.384億美元)，全數來自第一季。來自 POGO營運商的29.2億披索(5940萬美元)收入 中，有11.1億披索(2260萬美元)來自第二季。 自3月15日起，菲律賓全國博彩活動都在總 統杜特爾特頒佈於主島呂宋島的社區隔離措施 後停止。
