In a Philippine city council, the Committee on Games and Franchise typically oversees the regulation and authorization of various forms of games, recreation, and amusements within the city's jurisdiction, alongside the granting and monitoring of franchises. This includes policies related to gambling (like casinos, lotteries, and bingo), sports-related amusements (like cockfighting or professional boxing events), and the local franchises for businesses or services that require a specific city permit to operate. It ensures that such activities are conducted legally, safely, and in a manner beneficial to the city and its residents.
