**DICT Says Ban on Online Game “Gorebox” Was Result of Mutual Agreement, Not Unilateral Action**
MANILA – The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) clarified on Wednesday that the removal of the online game *Gorebox* from the Philippines was the outcome of a mutual decision reached after due process, rather than a unilateral government directive.
In a radio interview, DICT Secretary Henry Aguda explained that the agency had engaged with the game’s operators before the ban was implemented. “We reached out to the parties involved and followed the appropriate procedures,” Aguda said, emphasizing that the decision was made collaboratively.
The clarification comes after reports suggesting that the government had independently ordered the game’s removal. The DICT’s statement indicates that the ban was the result of negotiations and compliance with established regulatory processes.
No further details about the specific reasons for the ban or the terms of the agreement were disclosed by the department.
