Is online gambling a health crisis? Bishops in the Philippines concerned

Catholic Bishops in the Philippines say online gambling has become a new plague or virus that is destroying families, and even causing a kind of slavery. While illegal gambling has always existed in the shadows of society, this new crisis takes place in the smartphones of anyone, including children. The cure to this plague needs to come from every level of society, including at the parish level: Msgr Pedro Quitorio: "It's become a sickness. With all these addictions, people, children, teenagers are becoming, you know… some, some we hear news of taking their lives because of this, so much debt." Faith Full is a Catholic podcast hosted by Tony Ganzer. In this episode we hear from Msgr. Pedro Quitorio, the Director of the Media Office for the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines.
