The announcement was released by emails between casino operators and local gaming authorities.
Francis Lui, deputy chairman of Galaxy, formerly known as K Wah Construction Materials, wrote: âAs you know, Chinaâs relationship with the Philippines has been improving. K Wah Group and Galaxy would like to play a role in the One Belt One Road initiative and we strongly believe the Philippines has great potential and offers attractive opportunities.â
