Ano ba tawag dito... "Wynn-Wynn" o "no-Wynn" situation?
![]() Almost all the mega projects where the government has a hand in are always saddled with controversy. Can't get anything big done in this country without suffering a major snag. Ang kupad at bulok talaga ng sistema dito...

Naguiat: Bribery claim not true
![]() by ABS-CBNnews.com | Friday | Posted at 02/24/2012 4:15 PM | Updated as of 02/24/2012 5:30 PM MANILA, Philippines (UPDATE) - Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (PAGCOR) chairman and CEO Cristino Naguiat Jr. on Friday denied any involvement in the bribery case against Japanese businessman Kazuo Okada in the US, saying the allegations against him are politically motivated. Naguiat and former PAGCOR chair Ephraim Genuino were identified in a lawsuit filed by Las Vegas-based Wynn Resorts Ltd. against Okada as the two PAGCOR heads for whom the Japanese tycoon spent $110,000 so his business venture in the Philippines went ahead. "This is a business dispute into which I have been dragged," Naguiat said in a statement. "The recent allegations against me are outrageous, politically motivated and untrue." Naguiat did not deny receiving perks from Wynn Resorts during a five-day visit to Macau in 2010, but he stressed these were limited to hotel accommodations. He said he did not receive $20,000 cash advance for shopping and gaming, and knew nothing of the $110,000 alleged cash gifts made to PAGCOR.

Analysis: Wynn-Okada row may not stick with US officials
![]() by ABS-CBN News (Reuters) | Posted at 02/24/2012 2:57 PM | Updated as of 02/24/2012 | 2:57 PM WASHINGTON/MACAU - A U.S. law against foreign bribery is the unusual weapon of choice in an increasingly bitter boardroom struggle between U.S. casino mogul Steve Wynn and Japanese investor Kazuo Okada. But both sides may end up shooting blanks. Kazuo Okada, chairman of Universal Entertainment Corp, speaks during the ground-breaking ceremony of its casino-hotel projects in Manila January 26, 2012./ REUTERS Okada last month accused Wynn Resorts Ltd of making an "inappropriate" $135 million donation to the University of Macau, based in the former Portuguese colony that is now the world's largest gambling destination.

Okada refuses meeting on eve of Wynn ouster
![]() by Ronald Grover and Sue Zeidler | Reuters (ABS-CBN News) |Posted at 02/24/2012 12:21 PM | Updated as of 02/24/2012 | 2:40 PM LOS ANGELES - Japanese investor Kazuo Okada, embroiled in a legal battle with Wynn Resorts CEO Steve Wynn, a long-time business partner, over alleged improper payments made to Philippine regulators, says he will not attend a Friday meeting scheduled to oust him from the board of Wynn Macau. In a letter to the board of Wynn Resorts' Macau unit, a copy of which was provided to Reuters, Okada disagreed with that impending decision and said his attendance would be meaningless as his ejection at the Macau meeting was all but certain. The Asian billionaire, who helped bankroll Steve Wynn's empire through a long friendship, again blasted an internal company report released this week that alleged multiple instances of improper behavior by Okada. "I do not want to embarrass you, as my colleagues, by forcing you to make false and defamatory statements about me in my presence," Okada wrote in the letter. "I disagree with the decision to remove me as a director, because it is based on false and misleading assertions in a report that was created only to serve as a means to discredit me." Wynn spokesman Charles Sipkins declined to comment. Read More: http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/business/...ve-wynn-ouster

Casino mogul Wynn dumps Okada from Macau board
![]() by Farah Master | Reuters (ABS-CBN News) | Posted at 02/24/2012 2:38 PM | Updated as of 02/24/2012 | 2:38 PM MACAU - Wynn Resorts CEO Steve Wynn ousted his former friend and billionaire partner Kazuo Okada from the board of his Wynn Macau casino, the latest twist in a legal battle that has implications for their multibillion-dollar businesses. A board decision to un-seat Okada was effective immediately, the company said in a filing to the Hong Kong stock exchange on Friday. "The board determined that it was obligated to remove Mr. Okada as a non-executive director given the unacceptable conduct by Mr. Okada, his employees and associates detailed in the independent report," it said, referring to an internal investigation by the company. Wynn Resorts said earlier this week it forcibly redeemed Okada's nearly 20 percent stake in the company, adding the internal investigation by former FBI Director Louis Freeh revealed Okada, chairman of slot and pachinko gaming firm Universal Entertainment Corp (6425.OS), and associates violated U.S. anti-corruption laws.

Wynn Macau ousts Japanese tycoon Okada over alleged PHL corruption
![]() by BEH LI YIH | Agence France-Presse (GMA News) | Friday | February 24, 2012 | 1:55pm HONG KONG — The board of casino operator Wynn Macau on Friday dumped Japanese gambling tycoon Kazuo Okada as a director over what it called "unacceptable conduct" involving alleged corruption in the Philippines. The subsidiary of US-based Wynn Resorts said the board resolved to remove Okada as a non-executive director "with immediate effect," amid a bitter feud between the Japanese businessman and one-time partner Steve Wynn. The company issued a statement to the Hong Kong stock exchange saying it felt "obliged" to sack Okada after an internal Wynn Resorts investigation accused him of bribing Philippine regulators in his bid to build a rival gaming resort in Manila. Wynn Resorts said in a lawsuit filed Tuesday in a Las Vegas district court that Okada, Japan's pachinko king, went behind the company's back to secure a stake in Asia's booming gaming industry for his Universal Entertainment group.

Philippines’ gambling regulator denies bribery charge
![]() by: Daxim L. Lucas | Philippine Daily Inquirer | Friday | February 24th, 2012 | 8:04 pm MANILA, Philippines — The head of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (Pagcor) denied “in the strongest possible terms” Friday what he called “uninformed and reckless allegations” recently made against him by a US casino mogul. The statement of Pagcor chairman and CEO Cristino Naguiat Jr. came after US casino operator Wynn Resorts sued its former partner Kazuo Okada in a Las Vegas court, accusing the latter of bribing Philippine gaming officials with free accommodations at a $6,000-a-night Macau hotel and a pricey Chanel bag for Naguiat’s wife. In Wynn’s court filing, company officials also presented the results of a third-party probe the company t commissioned in January 2011 about the Philippine gaming industry. In the report prepared by former Federal Bureau of Investigation director Louis Freeh, the Philippine gaming industry was described to have “deeply ingrained” official corruption. The same report expressed “doubts that [then] newly elected President Benigno Aquino III’s stated plans for reform would eliminate corruption from the gaming industry.” The government-owned Pagcor, apart from itself being a casino operator, regulates all gaming and gambling operations in the Philippines.

Pagcor vows transparency in $4B project
![]() Entertainment City licensees to follow strict rules by: Daxim L. Lucas | Philippine Daily Inquirer | Friday | February 24th, 2012 |12:09 am ![]() CRISTINO NAGUIAT JR.: Level playing field INQUIRER FILE PHOTO The state-run Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. on Thursday reiterated its commitment to undertake its Entertainment City project under the most rigid guidelines and the most exacting standards amid renewed scrutiny from the international investor community. Pagcor’s reassurance came after its former and current chairmen were accused by a former partner of one of the licensees at its $4-billion flagship project of receiving undue perks and favors from Japanese gaming tycoon Kazuo Okada. “If they’re saying that one group will be favored over another, that’s impossible,” Pagcor chairman and CEO Cristino Naguiat Jr. said in an interview with the Inquirer. “What we have here is a level playing field among all licensees in the project.” Read More: http://business.inquirer.net/46031/p...-in-4b-project

I wouldn't consider free meals & lodging and other forms of hospitality as a form of corruption in this industry. Receiving cash, real estate property or luxury items are considered bribes.
I know it may not be exactly the same but, there are alot of real estate companies here in Florida and even in New Jersey, who will pay for your airfare, hotel & accomodation just to get a chance to show you around and maybe get you to buy a time share.

I just dont get hgow this is considered bribery when the contract for okada to participate in the entertainment city projects has long been signed by the preceding pagcor chair efraim genouino. What will okada get out of giving free accomodation and a chanel bag out of it anyway, he already got what he wanted. Id still say that wynn is just making a mountain out of a molehill if only to oust okada in his organization.
