Tengco denies conflict of interest

PHILIPPINE Amusement and Gaming Corp. (PAGCOR) Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Alejandro H. Tengco denied claims that his family’s construction firm had benefited from his ties to President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr., saying he had divested his stake in the company.

Mr. Tengco, who founded Nationstar Development Corp. in 2015, said his position at PAGCOR has no direct or indirect influence on the award of public works contracts to the firm. He added that he fully transferred his holdings to his children in 2019, three years before assuming the PAGCOR leadership in 2022.

“As a legitimate business entity, Nationstar has previous and ongoing contracts with both the government and private sector, including many local government units,” he said, noting that he entered construction in 1996.

He said Congress should determine whether gaps exist in conflict-of-interest laws and consider appropriate measures.

The statement comes amid scrutiny of government contractors and officials linked to multibillion-peso flood control projects, raising concerns over transparency under the Marcos administration. — Aubrey Rose A. Inosante

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

The post 3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Analyses and data indicate that the crypto market is experiencing its most active altcoin season since early 2025, with many altcoins outperforming Bitcoin. However, behind this excitement lies a paradox. Most retail investors remain uneasy as their portfolios show little to no profit. This article outlines the main reasons behind this situation. Altcoin Market Cap Rises but Dominance Shrinks Sponsored TradingView data shows that the TOTAL3 market cap (excluding BTC and ETH) reached a new high of over $1.1 trillion in September. Yet the share of OTHERS (excluding the top 10) has declined since 2022, now standing at just 8%. OTHERS Dominance And TOTAL3 Capitalization. Source: TradingView. In past cycles, such as 2017 and 2021, TOTAL3 and OTHERS.D rose together. That trend reflected capital flowing not only into large-cap altcoins but also into mid-cap and low-cap ones. The current divergence shows that capital is concentrated in stablecoins and a handful of top-10 altcoins such as SOL, XRP, BNB, DOG, HYPE, and LINK. Smaller altcoins receive far less liquidity, making it hard for their prices to return to levels where investors previously bought. This creates a situation where only a few win while most face losses. Retail investors also tend to diversify across many coins instead of adding size to top altcoins. That explains why many portfolios remain stagnant despite a broader market rally. Sponsored “Position sizing is everything. Many people hold 25–30 tokens at once. A 100x on a token that makes up only 1% of your portfolio won’t meaningfully change your life. It’s better to make a few high-conviction bets than to overdiversify,” analyst The DeFi Investor said. Altcoin Index Surges but Investor Sentiment Remains Cautious The Altcoin Season Index from Blockchain Center now stands at 80 points. This indicates that over 80% of the top 50 altcoins outperformed…
