AMENDING SECTION 16 OF EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 135, DATED MAY 4, 1948, ENTITLED “REGULATING THE ESTABLISHMENT, MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION OF FRONTONS AND BASQUE PELOTA GAMES (JAI-ALAI).”
By virtue of the powers vested in me by law, I, ELPIDIO QUIRINO, President of the Philippines, do hereby amend section 16 of Executive Order No. 135, dated May 4, 1948, to read as follows:
“Section 16. Installation of automatic electric totalizator.—Any person or entity operating a fronton wherein betting in any form is allowed shall install in its premises within the period of two and one-half years from the date this Order takes effect, an automatic electrically operated totalizator, which shall clearly record each ticket purchased on every player in any game, the total number of tickets sold on each event, as well as the dividends that correspond to holders of winning numbers. This requirement shall, however, not apply to double events or forecast pool or to any betting made on the basis of a combination or grouping of players until a totalizator that can register such bets has been invented and placed on the market.”
Done in the City of Manila, this 5th day of May, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and fifty, and of the Independence of the Philippines, the fourth.
