PAGCOR revokes PH Resorts Mactan casino license

PH RESORTS Group Holdings, Inc., the gaming company owned by Davao-based tycoon Dennis A. Uy, has received a notice from the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (PAGCOR) revoking its casino license for a project in Cebu.

In a stock exchange disclosure on Thursday, the company said PAGCOR notified its subsidiaries, LapuLapu Leisure, Inc. and Lapulapu Land Corp. (LLI-LLC), that it had revoked the provincial license for the unfinished Emerald Bay integrated resort project in Mactan, Cebu.

PH Resorts said the suspension of its provincial license will not “materially impact the company’s financial position.”

“The revocation of the provisional license is not expected to materially impact the Company’s existing financial position,” it added.

Following the cancellation, the company said it will continue to explore other opportunities to expand its business.

“The company will continue to explore other business opportunities and shall make the appropriate disclosures to keep the public informed of developments, including its future plans, as and when these are determined, in accordance with applicable laws, rules, and disclosure requirements of the Philippine Stock Exchange and other relevant regulatory authorities,” it said.

PH Resorts also confirmed that it has ended talks with listed construction firm EEI Corp. for the Emerald Bay project. The firm noted that its partnership discussions with EEI “have not ripened to the execution of definitive agreements.”

In August, PH Resorts wrote off investments in the Emerald Bay casino project, resulting in a P6.75-billion net loss for the first half of 2025.

Earlier this year, Sy-led China Banking Corp. (Chinabank) said it planned to sell the Mactan property it acquired from PH Resorts after a sale-and-leaseback arrangement expired in March. Chinabank Chairman Hans T. Sy said that a buyer for the unfinished project was still being sought. — Beatriz Marie D. Cruz

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
