TENSION arose at the Okada Manila after more than 50 persons posing as employees and the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (Pagcor), headed by a member of the ousted board and accompanied by members of the Philippine National Police (PNP), stormed the casino hotel on Friday in an attempt to take over the facility.

This development came as Pagcor officials served a 'cease and desist' order to the Okada Manila management directing the current elected board of Tiger Resort Leisure and Entertainment, Inc. (TRLEI) from discharging their functions in connection with casino operations.
