As reported by ABS-CBN Interactive (Philippines):"Legenda Casino CEO Khoo
Boo Boon hit back at the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (PAGCOR) for
what he calls a "mobsterlike takeover" of its facilities last Friday.
"'.They were very rude and they forcibly entered the casino and harassed our
security staff, casino personnel and other guests,' Boon told local press."
"Boon insisted that Legenda Casino has no financial obligation to
PAGCOR. .it is PAGCOR that owes Legenda around P300,000 in nominal and
attorneys fees.
"Legenda Casino is now bringing criminal charges against PAGCOR.

".PAGCOR said it revoked the casino's license because it has allowed
cockfighting and has failed to pay the government more than P365 million in
gaming license fees."
