BIZ BUZZ: Of ports and online gambling
Billionaire buddies Eusebio Tanco and Enrique Razon Jr. have at least two interests in common: ports and gambling.
Tanco helms Asian Terminals Inc., which operates some of the busiest local seaports. Razon is busy with International Container Terminal Services Inc., which has presence in six continents.
Tanco also runs DigiPlus Interactive Corp., operator of the 24/7 online bingo streaming platform BingoPlus and other digital games. The company has amassed at least 40 million registered users so far.
Razon, chair of Solaire Resorts and Casino operator Bloomberry Resorts Corp., is soon entering the online gambling arena. And this is something that his buddy Tanco welcomes.
“I’m glad that Ricky is going online. We’re good friends,” said Tanco, who has full confidence in Razon.
“He (Razon) knows what to do,” he added.
