Boracay parish priest admits receiving P1M, but...

BORACAY ISLAND, Malay - Fr. Maglore Placer, Boracay parish priest, has admitted receiving P1 million recently but denied the money came from supporters of the proposed casino operation in this resort island.

Placer said that the money was donated by the Korean Catholic Mission for the continuous improvement of the Balabag Parish Church here.

"I want the public to know that I am still against the proposed casino operation in this resort island whatever happens," said Placer.

Placer leads the Catholic Church against the casino operation in this resort island.
Proponents of the casino are currently awaiting for the decision of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR).

A Korean firm is reportedly interested to establish a junket casino here.
