The Philippine Star
|July 09, 2025
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (PAGCOR) has provided cash incentives to Filipino responders deployed in Myanmar, which was hit by a magnitude 7.7 earthquake in March.
During a ceremonial turnover at Camp Aguinaldo on July 4, PAGCOR gave P6.9 million to the members of the Philippine Inter-Agency Humanitarian Contingent (PIAHC) and Philippine Air Force.
"We will always support efforts that reflect the best of who we are as a people: resilient, selfless and ready to help those in need wherever they may be," PAGCOR chairman and chief executive officer Alejandro Tengco said.
