In a private, members‑only club called The Lantern Society, members meet in a secluded room to participate in a weekly 'mystery-number lottery.' Each member pays 250 pesos for a ticket; a private draw selects a winning number, and the winner receives 68% of the weekly pot while the organizer takes 32% as an administration fee. The activity is not licensed by PAGCOR or any other authority. A raid interrupts the event and the owner-manager is charged with illegal gambling under P.D. No. 1602, as amended by R.A. No. 9287. Which of the following statements about liability and penalties is correct under Philippine law?

Choose the Best Answer

Both owner and players are immune due to the private, non-commercial, charitable-giving nature of the event. The players are liable as accomplices because their presence and payment of entry fees facilitate the operation; RA 9287 makes participants accomplices in illegal gambling. RA 9287 does not apply to offline gambling; penalties remain exactly as they were under PD 1602 before the amendment. The owner is liable for illegal gambling; the players are not liable as co-offenders or accomplices but are mere participants; RA 9287 increases penalties primarily against organizers, managers, and financiers.
